How to Make Friends When Traveling Solo

Solo travel doesn't have to be lonely. Learn how to meet travelers and locals, find travel buddies and join group plans on the road.

Share your plans before you arrive

Post your destination and dates so travelers heading to the same city can find you. On Konnectors, sharing your trip lets you match with travel buddies before you even land.

Stay where people mingle

Hostels with common rooms, co-working spaces and walking tours are full of people who want to meet. Join one group activity on your first day.

Meet locals, not just travelers

Locals know the best food, hidden spots and events. Local hangouts are a great way to experience a city beyond the tourist trail.

Split costs and experiences

Travel buddies can share taxis, tours and accommodation, which saves money and makes every trip safer and more fun.

Stay safe

Meet new people in public places, share your live location with someone you trust and trust your instincts. See our Safety Tips for a full checklist.
