The iron law of friendship: Friendship = proximity * time

The equation is incredibly simple, but not very easy.

Most people will recommend clubs or activities to get proximity. As a nomad, community living, such as hostels, can be invaluable. Most people will be ephemeral, but some will not.

Time is exactly that. You must be around the same people for extended periods of time. That often means facing rejection by inviting people to spend time with you.

So go be somewhere that is not your home where social interaction wouldn't be frowned upon for at least a few hours a week.
