I have nobody to travel with.

How to meet people to make a travel group with?

Most "friends" you travel with will no longer be friends with you after the trip, goes double for people you've just met

Language institutes could work. In South America I did Spanish language classes at a language institute in Santiago Chile where i met people from all over. Most weren't there as long as I was but some were and we hung out for a few months as we dicked around the city and went to national parks and shit. The institute was pretty affordable and I got something useful out of it while making friends. I don't talk to them much anymore but every once in a while I get "how've you been?"

Idk about other countries but I know places like Colombia, Peru, Chile, Ecuador and other Spanish speaking countries do stuff like this. So maybe just pick a country and search if they have any language learning institutes.

You don't need anyone to travel with unless you are elderly or disabled. Just go and travel. You'll probably meet people along the way.

You have to ask enough geographical questions and eventually some people will begin talking about the area with you. From there you can talk about taking a tour.

Stay at hostels and strike up a conversation with someone in the common room. Just walk up to a group speaking your language and ask if you can sit and talk with them.

And that's fine. What have you never made a short term friend before? Needy fucking nerd.

Which episode does that znation girl with the redhead have the inception dreamscape I don't want to go into it kind of thing? I understand I need to buy drinks for you to think about it and we need to go somewhere to get drinks. I think I might have blanked out in a few episodes.

I mean technically you asked me first I don't like to walk up to strangers and ask them things.

>>2834692
I mean I'd maybe ask them things but not like specifically like that.

Refusal to take the social initiative as the outsider and disrupt people's routines is going to seriously hamper your ability to meet people and have memorable experiences. Digital maps take the mystique out of foreign countries by revealing all their secrets on your phone screen. No need to pester locals with questions. In fact, I've gone many places using a map that the locals couldn't care less about, because they are all lazy bastards.

Why would you ask? It's a fucking common room. Sit, listen, then chime in when you feel like it. If they blow you off, that's that. If they engage with you, then grab one of your beers from the fridge and make some friends.

>>2833604
you need to join student clubs and organisations like fraternities idiot
just going to class won't cut it

>You need to do this!
>You need to do that!

life is so fucking stupid

How do you do this if they speak a different language and you’re just a casual?

>>2837158
if you speak a different language, the friendship probably isn't going to happen

Hostelworld has this entire social network that opens up when you book a hostel. Lots of people posting asking for recs and people to hang with. So, I dunno, you can meet up through that if you aren't comfortable doing things solo.

>>2834634
So?

You've never held a conversation with a translator app? I'm not even social and I've done it multiple times with interested parties. Most people don't want to disturb me because my facial expression while traveling is usually quite forbidding, but a few curious strangers hit me up anyway.

>>2837226
Nope, can't say I have. Where did you have these convos and what language?

I recently stayed in one, just 5 or 6 private rooms. I scared multiple women. It felt "right" to enter a room and as a woman sees you her body spasms in terror then looking away in embarrassment.

The time before had cats, one female one demanded to be let in my room and wants to fight me after I give it pets and starts hisses and growling but refuses to leave. Girl was wigged the fuck out when after the end of a session. She wouldnt look at me after than. "Abusing it" but it demands it?! I would be a monster if I didnt give her a domenstic calibration.

...she wants kittens, I want barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen...its so close, yet so far...

just stay at hostels and your problem is solved they’re designed for that

I ended up booking a group tour with intrepid for one of their under 30(35?) groups. Was a pretty small group of 8 and everyone was pretty nice, did't feel like I was on a touristy tour group, but travelling with a group of friends, the guide was pretty chill too. we gathered to play games like uno every afternoon. A couple of people previously did group tours to places like Peru and Iceland and they were saying the vibes are generally all pretty good, and they kept in touch with some of the people. Immediately after returning home nobody really talked on the gc's anymore, but sometimes ppl would comment on my IG posts or reply to my stories. helped me be somewhat normal and not retarded after not having a lot of social interaction. solo travel just has a way of drawing others together I guess.

I hope you experience this so you understand the actual bliss of solo travel by comparison.
