If you wish you could feel closer to your friends who are far away, take action. Just because you're physically or geographically separated doesn't mean you have to grow apart or let your conversations stagnate in repetitive daily updates. You can still deepen and strengthen your bonds from far away with a little bit of intention, creativity, and a willingness to try something new.
In this quick and easy guide, Kat Vellos, author of We Should Get Together and creator of Better than Small Talk, gives you the tools to breathe new life and fresh connection into your existing friendships. You can even try these activities with family members and romantic partners, too. Designed for action, it's filled with creative activities, conversation starters, games, journaling prompts and project ideas. Connected from Afar will help you feel closer and more connected, no matter how far away you are.
