This is an info Alert.
Almost a year in Berlin – this is the perfect time to pause and reflect on one of the most important aspects of relocation: building new friendships and creating a social network from scratch.
In this episode, I share my personal stories about how I made new friends, why it’s so crucial (especially when relocating at 40), and how these friendships became my support system during the hardest moments.
I also talk about funny moments – like sending my friend a voice note singing “Eifo HaOoga”, my ongoing battles with German bureaucracy (why do we still need to send 30 printed pages by registered mail in 2025?!), and my insights about the cultural differences between spontaneous Israelis and ultra-organized Germans.
This is a very personal, honest, and emotional episode – perfect for anyone who has relocated, is planning to, or just wants to hear how friendships shape the experience of building a new home.
