Nurse Practitioner Shares Her Secrets to Making Friends in a New City

Relocating and forging new friendships can be daunting, especially as an adult. Lana, a nurse practitioner who's made this transition twice, offers valuable insights. "Making friends in Boston was tough," she explains, "because many young adults are focused on specific school programs or work with similar groups." She shares her strategy: reaching out to acquaintances and leveraging existing connections. While Bumble BFF didn't yield the best results, she emphasizes the importance of persistence. "Not all hangouts will lead to best friends," she cautions, "but keep trying, and you'll find people you mesh well with." Her experiences highlight the challenges and rewards of building a social life in a new environment, offering a message of hope and encouragement.
