You go to a new place, travel on new roads, taste food that you knew nothing about, learn a different culture, wear vibrant clothes, see those wonderful destinations; and best of all, make some new friends. If that sounds exciting, below are a few tips on how to make new friends while traveling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am not really talking about traveling alone here. No, even if you were in a group, went out with your existing friends or your family, traveling will always give you a chance to interact with some really interesting people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All that you got to do is to keep an open mind, stay positive, and explore. But at the same time, you also need to ensure that you keep yourself safe.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Quick Navigation<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a0fda8836c1f\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a0fda8836c1f\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#Traveling_Solo\" >Traveling Solo<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#How_to_Make_New_Friends_While_Traveling\" >How to Make New Friends While Traveling<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#Converse\" >Converse<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#Dont_Alarm_the_Other_Person\" >Don\u2019t Alarm the Other Person<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#Pictures_Pictures_and_Pictures\" >Pictures, Pictures, and Pictures<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#Eat_at_a_Local_Dhaba\" >Eat at a Local Dhaba<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#Stay_as_a_Paying_Guest\" >Stay as a Paying Guest<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#Try_Public_Transport\" >Try Public Transport<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#Eat_in_the_Dining_Room\" >Eat in the Dining Room<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#Be_Cool\" >Be Cool<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#Online_Travel_Partners\" >Online Travel Partners<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-12\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-make-new-friends-while-traveling\/#Dont_Worry_So_Much\" >Don\u2019t Worry So Much<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Traveling_Solo\"><\/span><strong>Traveling Solo<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am not really much of a solo traveler myself but traveling alone does have a few benefits of its own. You can travel any way you want, stay anywhere you like, and discover new things without worrying about your co-travelers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The problem however is that it may get a little boring after a while; or at times. You may hesitate to go to a certain place because it did not feel safe to head in that direction alone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You may feel weird eating alone in a family restaurant. Some dishes may look delicious but will not order them because it was too much for one person to eat alone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the biggest hitch in traveling alone is that you have to incur the entire cost yourself. If you get a hotel room then you need to pay the complete rent. There is no one that you can share the room with and split the cost. The same logic applies if you were thinking of hiring a taxi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/essential-items-for-trip-pack\/\">Essential Items for a Trip<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_New_Friends_While_Traveling\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How to Make New Friends While Traveling<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A quick fix around this can be to put yourself in situations that would let you meet people while traveling. Making new friends while traveling will mean that you will have company and can also at times share the cost. To be honest it is not even that tough to make a travel buddy. Here is how.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Converse\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Converse<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This will definitely be the first step. We all were told to never talk to strangers when we were kids. But if you want to make some friends while out on a trip, then you will definitely have to give this theory up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am not saying that you drop guard completely and start trusting just about everyone. No, you must always remain cautious, especially if you are traveling solo. But do not be shy to talk to that complete stranger sitting next to you on the bus; or someone staying at the same hotel that you are.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Start a conversation, share a few laughs, and see if you are able to strike up a chord with the other person. If not, then you always have the option to end the conversation. Do it in a pleasant manner though, and go your own way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also read: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/transport-motorcycle-by-train-india\/\"><strong>How to Transport Motorcycle by Train in India<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Alarm_the_Other_Person\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Don\u2019t Alarm the Other Person<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You need to remember that the other person will also be careful in terms of who they talk to. If you all of a sudden start a conversation with \u201cAre you traveling alone?\u201d, or \u201cSo which are you staying at? Which room?\u201d, it may give the person an idea to steer clear of you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do not portray yourself as someone who could be a possible robber or serial killer. Don\u2019t start asking personal questions straight away and at the same time, don\u2019t also overshare.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In short, don\u2019t be a creep. Talking about the weather is always a good way to start a conversation. Or just ask the person if they know of anything unique to see at that place; or if there was a good restaurant nearby that the other person was aware of.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The idea is that you should appear non-threatening. If you start a conversation and the other person seems to be trying to cut it short then best end it and not chase them around.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pictures_Pictures_and_Pictures\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Pictures, Pictures, and Pictures<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is one of the easiest ways of making new friends while traveling. If you were a solo traveler, then reach a popular tourist spot and spend some time there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will definitely not be the only tourist there. Ask someone to take a picture of you. When they do, thank them, followed by a light compliment about how good they are at taking pictures (even if it wasn\u2019t a good one).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Likewise, if you see another solo traveler trying to click a selfie, offer to click the picture for them and that will be a good way to start talking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are a bit into photography and have a huge camera hanging around your neck, then you can start talking about photography with another person with the same hobby.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Or if you notice someone trying hard to click a good picture of something, then share quick tips on how the picture can turn out to be better.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_at_a_Local_Dhaba\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Eat at a Local Dhaba<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Local small dhabas and tea shops are really a great place to mingle around with locals or other tourists. I could be wrong here but from all my trips, what I have learned is that people eating at these small dhabas are more likely to be friends with rather than the ones eating at a fancy restaurant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have a few of your meals at a certain dhaba, see who else is a regular there and get talking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/himalayas-in-monsoon\/\">Himalayas in Monsoon &#8211; Top Tips on Safe Trip<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay_as_a_Paying_Guest\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Stay as a Paying Guest<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This may not be an option available at all places but is a great choice nonetheless. There is no better way to make some local friends than to stay with one as a paying guest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You get to spend some time in their homes, eat at their tables and listen to some local stories. Not only they will be their host, but will also play the role of your local guide. They can direct you to places that other tourists may not even be aware of.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_Public_Transport\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Try Public Transport<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I know this is not everyone\u2019s cup of tea. But if you are traveling alone, then choosing public transport as your preferred mode of travel could be better.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not only it will reduce the total cost of travel saving you the gas money, but it will also actually be easier to make friends with someone sitting on a bus than going in your own car.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_in_the_Dining_Room\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Eat in the Dining Room<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A lot of hotels have a common dining room. I am not saying that you go looking for such a hotel because that may be a bit tiring and will limit your option drastically.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But in case you were staying at a hotel that has a common dining room, then try eating there rather than in your own room. You can sit there for a while, switch on some sports channel and that will produce ample chances for you to make some friends.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_Cool\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Be Cool<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By this, don\u2019t really become a burden or liability for someone. Traveling together sounds fun but only if the other person agrees to it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you do end up making some friends and then start trying to enforce your own plans on them, the next thing they would do is to excuse themselves for a bathroom break and never return.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Online_Travel_Partners\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Online Travel Partners<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you simply cannot travel alone, must go out on the trip but also cannot get anyone to join you then looking for a travel partner online is a great choice. There are several online communities where you can look for people traveling in the same direction that you are and maybe buddy up with them.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Worry_So_Much\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Don\u2019t Worry So Much<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last but not the least, don\u2019t sweat it too much. Just relax, take it easy, be fun to hang out with, and enjoy your trip. Remember, you are traveling because you want to travel, not because you want to make friends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stick to your original agenda. Explore as much as you can and enjoy your trip; irrespective of whether or not you made friends with anyone. If you did, great. If not then travel solo and have fun your way.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How to Make New Friends While Traveling &#8211;\u00a0 Conclusion<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I hope the tips above on making friends while traveling were of help.
