I think the most important journey is not the city or country we discover but the friends with whom we share these moments!
Here are some tips on how to meet people and make friends when traveling alone.
- Forget all your preconceptions
Many people start with countless preconceived and false reasons they can’t do certain things. They feel too old or too young, too shy, etc., to try to do this or that. You can always learn something from everyone you meet, whatever their age.
- Stay in a hostel
When traveling alone hostels are undoubtedly the best place to meet people. There are people of all ages. Of course, you will always meet young globe-trotters. But you will also come across families who choose to travel on a budget.
- Polyglot Club language exchange events
Polyglot club members organize meetings
in many cities around the world. Participants are very open minded. You will meet locals who want to learn foreign languages and foreigners (travelling or not) who want to learn the language of the country. There, you can easily make friends who can also show you around the city.
- Become a leader: organize a Polyglot Club meeting
One of the basic principles of human psychology is that people are always attracted to leaders. So instead of waiting for things to happen, make them happen!
