"...make it out of KL's noisy traffic. "

Angela Hijjas: Welcome to Rimbun Dahan.

Bernadette Nunn: Thank you.

Angela Hijjas: So glad you could make it out of KL's noisy traffic.

Bernadette Nunn: Well, this doesn't feel like the rest of KL, I must say.

This is part of a transcript for a feature. Rimbun Dahan is an ecological garden and Angela Hijjas works in it.

I was wondering what exactly is meant by the phrase 'make it out of'.

Thanks

When you're in the middle of something unpleasant you would often like to get out of it. " When you try to escape from some unpleasant place, sometimes you make it, and sometimes you don't. " Your example is a little special, because you're "escaping" into a refuge which is surrounded by unpleasantness.

Thanks for replying, Avangi.

So it would be equally, if not more, appropriate if it read 'So glad you could make it in out of KL's noisy traffic', right?

Thank you again
