I think I’m lucky. Any country we move to we have a built in community. So while we may fit in less overall (I hope not) we have people we can immediately be friends with. Anyone have thoughts? Are there any other groups that can feel the same way?

    I feel this as a gay person. Oddly enough I probably feel it just as strongly as a swimmer! Whenever I move to a new town I join the local masters swim club first and foremost.

      Same! Fellow gay here, and soccer instead of swimming. I’ve found that soccer has connected me with SO many people all over the world. No language needed to kick around the ball and have fun and make friends. It’s such a beautiful unifier.

      My parents said that their Unitarian church was a good way to find like-minded people in different places. My aunt, whose dental practice was predominantly gay men said, “It’s like being gay - they can find each other anywhere.” /grin
