Asking For A Friend: How Do I Maintain My Relationships When I Move Away?

It becomes increasingly tough to keep in touch as we get older (seriously, has anyone in their 30s tried to plan a group hangout recently!?) but it’s extra hard if you’ve moved away. And add a different timezone in there? Good luck. 

But relocating is a fact of life in adulthood, and we don’t want our fears of losing touch with loved ones to hold us back from making an exciting move. So in this week’s episode of Asking For A Friend, we’re diving into all the strategies for maintaining your relationships while abroad, including the great tips we got from our followers on Instagram!

Tune in as we chat about:

• How Cailyn has kept in touch, and what she wants to improve upon 
• Scheduling your catch-ups like non-negotiable meetings
• Being thoughtful with milestones and big events (the good and bad ones) 
• Removing the guilt from a phone call hiatus 
• Communication methods for every personality type 
• Habit-stacking your Facetimes 
• The power of a friendship trip 
• Creating virtual experiences to share 

We hope this helps you stay connected with your loved ones, no matter how far away they are. If you have any burning questions and want to get us in the hot seat, DM us and we’ll dive into them in an upcoming tell-all.
