Recommend activities and experiences that you can share with each other. Watch movies, read books or even play an online game together. Share your favourite music with each other. These activities make you guys have a lot more in common.

Since you will already be doing a lot of texting to keep in touch, why not make it more interesting. Video calling is also a nice way to talk because it offers you guys a visual of each other.
