Having nobody to travel with shouldn't stop you from visiting Singapore you dream of going to. In fact, meeting others on the road is a lot easier than people think. To help you make friends while traveling solo in Sinagpore, use the tips below as a guide.
Stay In Hostels
While obvious to some, there are still many who are apprehensive about staying in hostels. They picture the movie "Hostel," with dirty, dingy rooms and creepy guests and murderers lurking the halls. In reality, hostels in Singapore are usually clean, with friendly staff and myriad activities to help you get to know the city. Look for properties with common areas like kitchens, TV rooms, bars and BBQ areas. Additionally, the majority of the hostels in Singapore is located in the central part of Singapore or nearby the most famous touristic attractions. So, besides the affortable prices, hostels in Singapore are really well located, that can easily link you to everywhere islandwide.
Take Walking Tours
Singapore offers some free or affordable walking tours. When going on one, it's almost impossible not to strike up conversations with other travelers. You can discuss how interesting the sites are, and then segue into what other tours they plan on taking. From there, making conjoined travel plans is simple.
Strike Up Conversations On Transportation
Taking public transportation is a great way to meet other travelers and locals. You can ask the person next to you about where they're going, and about where they came from. Due to the fact that Singapore is a bilangual or even multilangual country, it is easy to find some one that can speak English or even in your mother tongue with you. Singaporeans are usually freindly with tourists and helpful if you find yourself lost elsewhere.
Use The Currency Exchange
All travelers need money, so what better place to meet people than a currency exchange? The best place at Singapore for money exchanges is Chinatown, however, you can find currency exchange agency islandwide with quite facility.
Book Organized Trips
While doing excursions on your own will save you money, booking an organized tour will help you meet others. You'll not only be interacting with the travelers on the tour, but also the local guide. Many times you can ask the guide about interesting places to see and fun places to go out, which leads to groups of people making plans to explore together.
Ask Questions
When traveling, don't be afraid to ask questions. Ask other travelers about their trips, a local baker about how they bake fresh bread, a cab driver about the types of people they encounter or a hotel owner about what inspired them to begin a business. Every person you encounter is an opportunity to learn something new, and make a new connection.
Be Open To New Experiences
If a stranger invites you to go dancing, if a local wants to bring you as a guest to a wedding or if you get invited to dinner at someone's home, take the opportunity. Again, it's a great way to have an authentic experience while getting to know locals. That being said, always trust your gut. If you get a bad feeling about someone, get away immediately.
