How do you make friends when traveling solo?

Just be yourself: unless you are normally taciturn and unapproachable. Be prepared to talk to others and, just as importantly, listen. Be genuinely curious about other lives and be prepared to answer the same questions you'd like answered. I've had really good experiences that have lasted for as long as it takes to drink a cup of coffee or for life in an exceptional case. It's easier when you are young.

I have never found it a problem, and I am an introvert. Most everywhere I have gone -- which includes most of Europe, Canada, Mexico, and Down Under not to mention most of the states here in the U.S. including Alaska and Hawaii -- if you are showing interest or asking questions about anything, most of the local people are delighted to talk about their community, landmarks, history.

Staying in hostels is good. I’ve only stayed in a few and you don’t always make friends but people are generally friendly and there’s usually other solo travellers.

Use my “once-a-week” rule: Be sure to bathe, change your socks, and rotate your underwear from inside to out and from front facing to back, at least once a week. This allows you to travel light, and keep the B.O. to an acceptable level 👻

My wife and I travel in our motorhome. I usually talk to the the office and I also walk the campground. More for exercise than than anything else. I say hello to everyone. I'll talk to anyone open for a conversation. I try asking everyone a question even if it's just where is a good place to eat. After they give you an answer tell them you are new in town and ask if they care to join you. I also try giving everyone a compliment. This usually works for me.

Eat at the bar in a restaurant. You never know who you'll talk to. At the very least you get to know the bartender.

Stay open and friendly. I usually book some tours or different things where I can do activities and meet people.

Having a few card tricks handy. Absolutely brilliant ice breaker. You can go up to almost anyone, show them a good card trick, and they’ll want to be your best mate. 😊😊😊

Not easy- takes time. If travel is with same set of people for a few days, then easy to make friends

You have to get their attention. Try to steal their passport and when you're caught, simply say you are just kidding, and introduce yourself.

Unfortunately I have never been good at socialising and making friends

Just talk to people

By being friendly

Damn gd qn, I normally go to a bar and get everyone and myself nice n drunk

Just being out and about gets the ball rolling
How you act after that will either prime youth interact or repelled others

Just walk around wearing this

Share weed.

Doesnt that kind of defeat the purpose of travelling Solo??😷

99% of my travel is by cruise ship.

Just stare at people from a distance and lick you lips.

When you see someone you like through a window, press your face against the glass to get thier attention.
