Just how do you make friends when you travel? Do you just walk up to someone and say hi? In this episode, we take a deep dive with travel pros on how to make friends when you travel. One of my favourite things about travel is that you can meet different people from all over the world that perhaps we would never normally encounter back home? From locals to other travellers on the road, there's always someone new to talk to and make a connection with, but is it really that easy? It can feel a little daunting to approach strangers when we're on our travels and strike up a conversation. I spoke to a range of travel experts about their experiences of meeting new people on the road, whether they are locals or fellow wanderers. We discuss everything from group travel, making online connections and how to form meaningful friendships as a solo traveller.
