How to Meet People While Traveling Solo
How to meet people while traveling solo
✨
Maybe you’ve heard the saying “traveling solo doesn’t mean you’re alone” — and it’s true! If you're in the mindset to meet people, there are many ways to make friends on the road, like:
👇
Hangout in popular social spots — like known bars that travelers frequent
🍻
Stay in social accommodations like hostels (you can still book a private room) or share house-style @Airbnb rentals
🛌
Book walking tours + social experiences like cooking classes and group dinners (@EatWith is awesome!)
🥘
Use @Couchsurfing forums and city-specific Facebook groups to find and plan local meetups
🎉
Join travel communities like @Wanderful, @GirlsLoveTravel + @SoloFemaleTravelersClub
🎒
If it’s a longer trip, utilize @Meetup to join niche groups and meet likeminded people (when I spent 6 weeks in Devener, I joined a yoga Meetup and ended up with a great group of girlfriends for the trip!)
🧘♀️
Utilize co-working spaces if you're a digital nomad
💻
Download solo travel apps like @SoloTrvlr_ (launching soon)
🤸
Of course, you may *choose* to be alone — I love those kind of trips too — but that is a whole other post.
