How to Make Friends as a Digital Nomad

Making friends as a digital nomad turned out to be one of the best surprises of this life. I thought I would be alone. I thought I would need a partner to do this with. I was completely wrong.In this episode I sit down with my best friend Evelina, who I met here in Chiang Mai, to talk about how to make friends as a digital nomad, why it is so much easier than you think, and what to actually do when you arrive somewhere new and know no one.We talk about:- why I thought I needed a boyfriend to not be alone as a nomad- why WhatsApp nomad groups can't be found unless someone already invites you- how nomad friendships go deeper in 3 to 5 days what takes 3 to 5 years back home- the best Facebook groups, WhatsApp groups and apps for meeting people as a digital nomad- why going alone to nomad events is actually easier than going with a friend- you only need to meet one person to unlock the whole community- the 5 seconds of courage rule for talking to strangers- how to stay close when your whole friend group keeps movingEvelina is a Lithuanian-Irish digital nomad, content creator, and social media marketing business owner. She has been running her own business for almost four years while living the nomad life between Chiang Mai, Da Nang, and Ireland.Follow her on Instagram: @evs_adventures - https://www.instagram.com/evs_adventures?igsh=bnMwcWtoejg2dXU=Hi, I'm Ebba.
