How To Meet People When You Travel Solo | Travel tips + Making friends on the road

THIS is why I love surrounding myself with well-travelled people. They are much more open minded and so much more interesting than closed off people without any experiences or topics to discuss.. Well done! Your intelligence, integrity, well spoken-ness and friendly demeanor shine, wish everyone was like that! You have a friend in Sydney Australia should you ever need it :)

Good tips! Traveling solo has become unavoidable for me because most of my friends are just too busy to travel. I'm single with no kids and a location independent job so traveling solo has become the new normal.

doing this takes so much bravery. My family is so paranoid and has instilled that paranoia into me. Traveling with a big group is fun but you're right that it can be annoying. I hate when I go somewhere and there's always someone who complains the entire time or people that like to gravitate towards things that can easily be found in America. Like why are we going to McDonalds? Let's explore and try new things! Maybe one day I can travel solo. Right now I'm hoping to get into the Peace Corps, so maybe that can be my start to solo travel.

Thank you so much for this! I love traveling and I'm always scared to go alone as a young black woman, but you have really inspired me! I've Always wanted to travel with a purpose, and vlog about them.

I like traveling on my own in small doses, because of exactly what you said-- I can do what I want, when I want. And half the fun of travel is the people that you meet, and when you're on your own, you pretty much have no choice but to meet people, right? Great tips Oneika.

So glad I'm finding all these videos about traveling alone. Especially from women, I think my family is more terrified than I am that I'll run into trouble because I'm a gal. This makes me feel better.

I looooooooooove traveling alone! 98 percent of time, I prefer to be solo because I hate having to think about other people when I'm trying to have fun and explore a new place. Lol is that mean? But, these are good tips for the rare occasion I actually want to have some type of human contact. Especially the hostel events. I never would have thought of that.

Travelling solo doesn’t mean you have to travel alone. You meet people while you’re travelling. Thank you for the tips and will definitely try your suggestion as I’m going to travel alone next month.

Yaaas 👏🏼 I am most definitely going to travel solo! The only thing holding me back currently is money and age. I live out in the middle of nowhere (literally.. like, no cities within 50 miles in any direction 😂) so making money is a bit of a challenge, but I'm doing it 💪🏼. I turn 18 in about 10 months, and then I plan on setting off and exploring this beautiful home of ours!

Great ideas, great information! I like traveling solo, but it does get lonely sometimes. One fun way I have found to meet and interact with people is to offer to take their photo. See someone struggling to take a decent selfie? Offer to help out...put them in a nice pose...and snap their photo. They are so appreciative, and lots of time they will return the favor!

i have only travel once in my life on a jet i was scare a bit, until i got comfortable. i want to be able to travel to california next year so i thought about messaging you about this. this is great

Hostels are amazing! The only travel I will do when I'm travelling Internationally.

Great tips! I travel solo a lot and enjoy it- love the freedom
