Thrilling and intimidating
One of the most intimidating things when traveling is making friends and connecting with locals.
But this one hard part about adventuring alone is also the most rewarding.
Ask Questions
The more curious you are, the more people you'll meet. Mostly this involves asking a lot of questions.
Try it. The worst that could happen - someone doesn’t reply and stares at you.
Follow the Fun
When you get to a new place, ask yourself: "If I lived here, where would I go?" Look for cool events, gigs, and shows.
It’s a great way to get away from all the tourist spots and into the cool neighborhoods where the locals actually hang out.
