How to be alone to overcome when you travel

How to be alone to overcome when you travel -

Before I went traveling for the first time in 06, I had these expectations are based on nothing as my imagination and popular culture. My trip would be filled with colorful and exciting people a nonstop adventure. Crazy things were going to happen to me. I would make friends everywhere. I would talking to strangers on buses. The locals would invite me for drinks. I would sip a latte, strike a conversation with my beautiful waitress, and then the next thing I know, we would would be at a wine bar, each staring into the eyes as she taught me French. It would like the travel article that I had read or movies I've seen. An adventure scene to the next.

Then I went overseas. I was there to see on the street, at the hostel, amazing attractions in historic towns alone.

First, it was exciting. I could do what I wanted when I wanted. It was fun, cool and adventurous!

But as the days wore on and forget my tongue, what speech sounded like dissipated the excitement, as I do. Human interaction and society

to crave began suddenly I was alone - but in a bad way

What I have done wrong.? I was so busy that I realize I forgot was alone. It was not meant to be. Where were the locals? The cool travelers? What happened?

then the only reason you're alone begin to recognize because of fear. The conversation is a two-way street, and you have not even bothered to stop him and see, let alone they go down.

When large introverted, it is not natural for me to speak just walk up strangers and with them. It makes me nervous, and this was especially the way back in 06. But this fear was to keep me from the dreams I live in my head. If I wanted to pass it, I wanted to have to make it happen.

Many people wonder whether alone means traveling that they are always alone. How are they friends? It's hard?

There is a legitimate concern and for us non-natural socialites, it is a challenge. But let me tell you :. It's much easier than you think

There are a lot of people traveling alone

people like you

people for a search .. .. Adventure

people who crave interaction with other

And the other is you

Because we all start from the same boat. to speak in a foreign country without friends, not the language, and are looking for people to spend time with. Once you realize that you realize how simple and easy it is to make friends -. Because everyone is just like you

All you have to do is just go talk - you

It took the introverted to learn the truth for a while in me, but if I did it I had to make any trouble, people. Well, even though I still crave my quiet time, I can easily go to the people and say hello.

The key to start small and break out of the shell. Make the person in your dorm room. Say hello. Ask them to answer about themselves. They are. You'll wonder. It will be fine and not scary.

Do the same for other people look. Look for this group leave for the bar and ask, "Can I join you?" Proceed to this pool table in the hostel and ask, "Who's next?" You know what? You are!

And thanks to the growing exchange of economy, there are many opportunities to meet people. I am sure that you have a thing, you are excited, right? Now, people around the world have the same passion. Use to find a site like Meetup.com local groups that form this passion. It's a great way to break the ice as you have an instant thing to talk about, something that you can speak fluently and excited. It creates an instant connection.

In addition, you can visit the website try CouchSurfing. It is not only a place to find accommodation; they also have tons of meet-ups, you can visit to find other people and like-minded people.

At first I found it hard to talk other, but you either fall or float on the road. My options were to be alone or to get over my fear to take the plunge and talk to people. I choose the latter.

And on the occasions I instead of swimming sink, other people came to me and said hello. They made the first step, so I do not have.

Why? Because they were looking to make friends, well, and understand that if they would not do either something they would have been alone.

travelers are a friendly bunch. We want to meet new people and make new friends.

And one of those friends is you .

You're never alone on the road. Everywhere there are people who constantly talk to you and invite you out

Traveling alone does not mean you alone be

Take it from this introverted .. You are more people meet, as you know what to do with.

And then you will realize that it was never to fear a reason in the first place.
