A Traveler’s Complete Guide To Building A World-Class Network
Creating, building, and maintaining relationships can be tough; even tougher if you’re living the increasingly-popular nomadic lifestyle. Here we’ll uncover tips for how to build and support a thriving network of relationships, no matter where you are on the planet.
Build new relationships wherever you are
You can kickstart new relationships as a nomad with people wherever you find yourself. I’ve made friends on flights, through friends of friends, at a local coffee shop, or on a guided tour. Consider these methods to let each destination be fertile ground for new interactions.
Connect with friends of friends as you travel by asking for introductions when you’re in a new place. By tagging your social media updates with your location, you’ll find that people will often tag their friends who are also where you are so you can connect.
Find local co-working spaces. These are generally full of energetic go-getters, many of whom are freelancers and entrepreneurs also looking to grow their circles.
Utilize your place of residence to meet new people. Hostels, couch surfers, and hosts tend to be open to the serendipity of new friendships. Make the most of it!
