Listen "Ep. 12 - ExPatBytes - The Friendship Gap (Losing friends when you become an ExPat)"

Episode Synopsis

Listen to Karl Schieneman and Felix Broden talk about how they have dealt with one of the largest issues of being an ExPat. Namely how to keep the friends you leave behind as friends when you now live in a new country. Let's face it, making friends as we get older is harder to do for everyone. So what happens when you move maybe thousands of miles away to your friendships? Our special guest James Naylor is a therapist and an expatriate currently living in Brasilia. Listen as we share strategies to minimize this issue and also how each of us have dealt with this problem. I should add that each of us strongly believe in the ExPat lifestyle and journey so this issue has not derailed us from a positive experience. But it is a real issue. And I for one hope that each of my friends listens to this show to better understand at least how I feel about this issue.
