Khristy is a digital marketer by day, sleepy traveller by night and occasional writer when fuelled by three cups of tea or more. She tells stories of places she’s loved and people she’s encountered on her travel blog <a href="http://lavventuradellavita.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">l’avventura della vita</a>, and is still trying to master the art of talking about herself in the third person.
Navigating a completely new environment can be daunting, and sometimes even more so for introverted travelers. As much as we may love (and need!) our personal space to recharge our batteries and fully take in our surroundings, we do desire human connection but are, at times, at a bit of a loss as to how to make friends while we’re on the road.
Whether you’re on a gap year or going on a trip with friends, staying at a hostel is a great way to meet new people, and a cost-effective way to travel.
