How To Meet People Abroad

How to Meet New People Abroad:

1: Be friendly and on the lookout for perfect opportunities. Are you waiting in a line and there are people around you looking bored? Try and strike up a conversation with them about something mutual (weather, reason why you’re all in line, or ask them a question).

2: Ask for recommendations from nearby locals. Not only have I made friends this way, but I’ve also discovered many gorgeous new delicious restaurants, experiences, new shops by doing this as well.

3: Try to stay in hostels or couchsurfers. Often, I find the easiest places to meet people are those with a crowd that is wanting the same experience with a sense of community. Look for hostels that have a common room, a community kitchen, or an area with to hang out like couches and games. This is a perfect place to strike up conversation.

4: Compliment someone! Giving a compliment not only makes the person feel good and boosts their confidence, it also creates a conversation topic!
