Hi guys, Im middle of the move to Saudi (visa papers still needs to get done) but Im often here for longer period of time. Im the beginning of my twenties, and I did not come here for work, but because of love haha.

Anyway, Im getting really lonely and it’s really hard to make friends here. My husband is my only friend here and since I don’t speak that fluent arabic, is hard to find girls to be friends with.

Do you have any tips for could I make some friends? Im really open to start conversations and I tried to talk to them if the situation was right, but most of the time they got scared or just had small talks with. And when they go outside they are in groups so it makes this really hard to talk to them.
