What’s the best way to meet new people while traveling?

Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
It was a good day until I woke up around 4:30 in the morning after something happened to me in my dream…!
Which becomes a post for the night later today…!
Well—
Talking to them would be a start…!
For example,
If you make a pit stop,
Maybe refueling your car/bike if you are travelling in your own vehicle,
And,
You come across some people who are local,
You can hit up a conversation and ask them about the local traditions and some place that they would recommend which you can check out while you’re in the vicinity…!
You can meet someone that you know from your friends or family…!
Imagine you plan on exploring India,
And extended family of yours lives up north—
You can visit them and get to know your roots and talk to them about how your family ended up here…!
Also,
You can talk to them about traditions and what are things that an outsider should be aware of when they explore the town…!
But, don’t be a burden on them by staying with them all day you don’t know how they are doing and you don’t want to barge in on someone’s privacy…!
Now,
Imagine you are using public services like plane,train,bus or any other transport that exists like ferry near water bodies…!
You will have to talk to strangers,
If you plan on hitchhiking like asking strangers to drop you off wherever they are going…!
But,
For that,
You will have to be humble and expect to be rejected until a saviour comes and takes you near to the destiny that you have in your mind…!
You can strike up a conversation with people who are sitting on the berth next to you,
And,
If you find someone who shares the same destination as you,
You can ask them to give you some heads up and be prepared for what they might have to face once you land or arrive at your destination…!
You can join groups or travel in one of you don’t feel comfortable travelling all alone,
This way you can meet strangers and talk to them as much as you want…!
Which is supported by people who will take care of you but for that you will have to pay the amount upfront…!
These would be some ways in which I would find companionship while travelling,
Well some of them can be my relatives too…!
Can’t they….?
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍🤍
