I want to add - if you use any apps to meet people, please be careful and use your best judgement. Meet in a public place and tell somewhere where you're going and who you're meeting up with. Always trust your intuition and leave a situation if it feels off. Better to be safe with these sorts of things.
Hope this video is helpful! Let me know if you have any good tips! Or if you try any of these, let me know how it goes!
Yey to us introverts. I'm very nervous around people in london so lord knows how I will survive italy. But will def try. Also can't wait for my stickers! Xx
Yay! I have a video all about traveling as an introvert coming very soon! I think you'll be more comfortable in Italy because you won't know anyone! At least that's usually true for me 😊
@@mari.johnson good point, will see. I stammer so that may determine how I feel when meeting people but I'm going to definitely try. I'm open minded and hearted so that should help. I'm not going to get along with everyone and I have a fairly good sense of character so will use my intuition.
How's your cross country walk plans going? Xx
Yes, being open minded and hearted should definitely help! It's going good so far, but haven't done too much yet. I'll do most starting mid January after I get my permit :)
I totally agree that if you are traveling solo you are more approachable! Great video !
It's seriously true!
Always welcome Mari
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Meet locals : "you never know you could make a great friend" or boyfriend :-D
haha true! I wasn't even thinking about that 😜
Thank you for making me feel confident confident as a shy person. I am in Cancun and excited to start my holiday 🤗
Late reply, but hope you had a good holiday!!
@@mari.johnson Hiya, Yeah the getaway was lovely, I only wish it was sunnier and less cloudy, I also didn't make any friends, but I went out at night for walks and dinner. It was a sweet outing.
How did it went
Hi Mari! Great suggestions here. I stayed in the YHA hostels on my recent trip to New Zealand. They were very nice, comfortable, and clean. I would definitely recommend them and will stay there again.
Hi Diane! That's so nice to hear! I love YHA!!
I love hostels/backpackers and super cheap budget accomodation, but my wife hates it, she wants 5 star hotel rooms so we either get that or compromise on a motel/cabin, LOL. I miss my single man days when I got to go to backpackers....
Ha yeah that's a struggle then, at least you can compromise!
Hi Mari, This is an excellent video. Really informative. Well done and thanks for sharing. I find making friends now much easier than when I was younger. I think self confidence makes a huge difference. When I travelled over to New Zealand, I met plenty of really nice people. When you mentioned couch surfing, I immediately thought of taking my lounge room couch to the beach and riding the waves. LOL. I always use public transport when I travel. It is always interesting travelling on the local transport, when in a new place. Anyway, take care, Rob.
haha now I'm going to think of that when I hear "couchsurfing"!
Greta tips for an introvert like me as well! Cheers!

Hi Mari How are you, I am from India accidentally i saw your vietnam videos, those are really nice, now i am your subscriber. keep making nice videos. Have a nice time. Bye
Hi Sankar! Welcome! I hope to visit your country one day! It's a dream of mine!
@@aliyusuf8132 Ali, not everyone is as weird as you tho. Maybe he was genuinely commenting.
Amazing video mari. Please come to south africa
Thanks, I really hope so one day!
You soon outgrow those 3 popular questions, It works really well though. I've used them many times.
Also asking where there from. Having a guess can be fun until you call an America a Canadian or vice versa.
Also ran 3 outta 4 days slowly back on the fitness train.
Nice work on the 3 runs! Keep it up Matt! 💪
Always good videos. Perpetual Solo traveler here. This will help Thanks
Happy to hear it! Yay for solo travelers!
This video pushed me to book a solo trip rn
I posted a video of all the friends I made in just one weekend in Montreal! That's the beauty of traveling solo and staying in hostels!
Hi! Where can I catch your video? :)
@@dr.random8920 Hey! You can find all my videos on my TH-cam channel! Hope you enjoy! :)
1:15 ...and it helps to be attractive ;-)
Another tip (of course only if you're into it or want to get into it) could be: Nowadays these instant cameras are quite popular again. You know, the ones which print the picture right after taking it. I can imagine that this could be an interesting way to meet new people. Like, doing two pictures of you and the other one, write your address, email or other stuff on the back of one photo and the contact of the other one on the second photo. Then you can give the photo with your info to the other person and you take the one with his/her info. Maybe it's a bit more personal style to keep in touch, but it is a different one than just adding each other on facebook for sure. (And probably older people like this way more)
I love that idea! It's super unique and would be very memorable :)
What about the safety issue?
I tried it few month ago but respond wasn't good, woman said why you are smiling, haven't sister at home 🏡
Just when I thought I would go to sleep...
haha sorry! 😜
Join with me as a solo travelers and forget ur lonely ness
i want to travel but i have no money
You could always try to do little trips around where you live! Those can be just as good and don't cost much 😊
Have a look at this video... th-cam.com/video/R7vmHGAshi8/w-d-xo.html it talks about travelling with no money. Our biggest fear to travelling is the first step. Take that first one an the momentum will carry you onwards. Hope this helps.
Easier for a girl and white dudes. Don't even get me started on people having British accent
i would date you, say the word !
step 1 be an attractive women.
