Making Friends + Living Nomadically
Howdy all! I'm Joe, a 26M who ideally will be spending several years traveling North America (and possibly South if I become sufficiently fluent in Spanish) and living out of a van. This will be following my departure from the Navy and my final deployment. I've many questions, but my most pressing one might sound silly:
On a recent 'demo' trip, I had a blast camping from Anchorage Alaska to Tijuana & then following the Gulf Coast back home to Tampa over many weeks. The only matter I struggled with was making friends; I found myself terribly lonely at times. How do you make friends while living nomadically? Do people in this chat or similar ones do meet ups?! How do you navigate this?
I tend to be more an introvert, but of course I still need a good talk and some laughter from time to time. I found that my last roadtrip was absolutely phenomenal and introspectively a blast, but the silence was deafening at times, especially considering I've honestly struggled with depression and (consequentially IMO) anxiety.
