As an immigrant who has no family or close friends in the US, I truly envy my colleagues who are able to work remote and travel within the country and see their family and friends. I always dream of working remotely outside of the US temporarily but I haven’t found an employer that allows that yet.

Haha I wouldn’t risk it. I need my job 😂

Try joining a sports league or a gym! That helped me find my people. Making friends is hard, especially when people are busy and exhausted from life, it’s easier to fall back to your already known/established friendships. Good luck ✨

Yes exactly ! I’ve subscribed to multiple gym classes to try to meet people so hopefully it works out. Thanks !

Oh come on. With that mentality you won’t survive here. Have you left your creativity at your home country? Get a puppy to travel with you or do some couch surfing to meet people. Travel alone, go to a bar and talk to people. Anything. This is a free country. Do you think the first colonists had friends here to give them a warm welcome?

The first settlers, because arriving too late to be able to plan crops, started starving to death and even turned to cannibalism. I don't get your reference here, specifically knowing that the latter survived THANKS to the welcoming of native people.
