I just had a chat with a friend about another problem of working remote: How to meet people. This gets harder when you can't personally hangout with your colleagues.
Mostly when you live in a country different than your own, where they speak another language it can be challenging.
I gave him these tips, but I would appreciate if you share some advice about it:
- Join any kind of sports club or whatever group of people that you share interests with.
- I sometimes use Couchsurfing to meet people. The app has something called hangouts that lets you meet people that are close by.
- Working from a coworking space could also help.
- Joining a language school is another option; you meet people and learn the language at the same time.
These are good ones. Also: Meetups, going to coffee shops, and joining online remote worker communities/Slack channels (although this is just online, not in person). I wfh and go to coffee shops like twice a day.
