Tips for making friends when traveling alone

How to make friends while solo traveling? Some tips

1. Stay in a hostel or airBNB with shared space, as it can be easier to get to know someone in the same situation as yourself.

2. Participate in activities organized by the hostel.

3. Participate in group trips such as field trips, sightseeing tours or cooking classes

4. Do voluntary work. There you can help others, people, animals and nature. There you also meet other people who care about the same things you care about.

5. Hobbies. Take different courses for a hobby you have, such as a photography course or a painting course. This way you can get to know people who have the same hobby as you.

6. Be open and welcoming. Don't be afraid to start a conversation. You are not alone in being scared and insecure, and if you start the conversation, the other person may be happy because they have not had the courage to start a conversation themselves.
