Making friends while traveling or living abroad is hard. Here we have a few tips on how to have a better chance of meeting locals and fellow travelers while you are abroad.
1. Try to speak their language. just trying to speak a language shows locals that you care and you want to know more about their culture. This is not about being fluent in a language but it is about knowing enough to understand and be understood.
2. Be Proactive: you have to be like a 3 year old at the park. Always asking people "to play" and not being discouraged if others say no. Just keep trying with others.
3. Don't Say NO. if people ask you to hangout or try new things while you are abroad do it. Don't say no, because once you say no they will always think you will say no. So maybe get off of facetime with your friends back home and get out with the locals if they ask.
4. Find common ground. if you are a traveler talk about your travels and share your stories, if you like comic books talk about that, find common ground with locals and you will have something that you and your new friend can bond over.
