I’ve always been someone who deeply values spending time with friends. Whether it be a catch-up over: dinner, coffee, going for a walk or run – I’m happy! I love the laughs, hearing about their lives, chatting about the world, trading silly stories or hair brain ideas. Our friends are a great tonic!
Over time, many of my friendships have become a cycle of catch-ups where we simply update each other on our lives. We sit down, place an order, and then tick off life admin. Any moments spent with friends is a great connection don’t get me wrong, however, it has changed and become more ‘surface level’ where we keep each other in the loop. The reason is we’re now spread across the country.
Who needs an Excuse for a weekend Stay with Friends?
We decided we’d choose two weekends every year where we’d arrange and spend time together for deeper connections and making new memories not just re-living old ones! This designated time together helps us connect with each other in a way that doesn’t feel possible at quick, coffee catch ups.
Are your Friends living aross the Country? Is it Time for a Group Catch Up?
You may feel in a similar situation too. Close friends you grew up with, went to college or university with live around the country and a quality ‘catch up’ beyond life admin is trickier. Plan a ‘catch up’ weekend(s), where you do a shared memorable activity rather than just grabbing a coffee.
