We have been talking about loneliness when you are abroad, let's now talk about how to make friends (locals or expatriates) when you're living in Milan

Which are your best tips to meet people and to make friends in Milan??

Why not organize Expat.com meet ups?
We are doing it in the Mauritius forum on a monthly basis with a different theme each time and they have a good success.
I'm sure there are a lot of things to do in Italy as well!
Good luck

Any meetups scheduled on October or any event where you could meet other people? If you are already in Milan, what is the most effective way to meet people and make friends?

personally, I haven't had any luck. The language is the main barrier. I do speak a little Italian, but mostly just enough to ask directions and such. Would really like to meet up with other people who I can actually talk to.

Hi Ogehurri,

Welcomeon board

This thread is an old one. I suggest you create your own topic on the Milan forum and introduce yourself. It will help you get better interaction with members.

All the best,
Bhavna
