Living alone is not always a choice and especially at this time of the year, it can really bite — with new data showing close to a third of Tasmanians live alone.
"People may live alone because they can both afford to and choose to," the report from 2015 said.
A recent national study by Relationships Australia published in November showed almost 24 per cent of those asked felt lonely — up from 17 per cent in 2018. Mia Wang is also a member of the Guess My Accent social and language exchange group and moved to Tasmania in 2015."Making friends was hard initially I think mostly because my English wasn't as good and it's hard to break into social bubbles and groups," she said.On how to best make new friends as a new Tasmanian, Andrea said her top trick is to be "out there".
