How to Make Friends While You Travel as a Digital Nomad
As a digital nomad, you're likely to be alone in some ways and surrounded by people in others. You may be traveling the world solo, but there are ways around this: go to a co-working space or take day trips with strangers (and make sure you get their contact information!). Don't feel like interacting with other travelers on Facebook? Join a meetup group where it's more likely that others will know what they're talking about.
Go to a co-working space
Co-working spaces are a great way to meet people and make friends. There are lots of co-working facilities in every major city, so you can find one that's convenient for you. You'll also be able to use the amenities at these facilities as well, like free Wi-Fi and coffee shops with free food!
Co-working spaces are also a great place for digital nomads to work because it gives them access to their own office space wherever they go on assignment or vacation. You might even get paid for doing this work!
Take day trips with strangers
A day trip is the perfect way to meet new people, see something new and exciting, or just get out of your comfort zone. Day trips can be taken anywhere in the world and don’t always have to be planned in advance.
If you’re looking for an adventure that doesn't require planning ahead, consider taking a day trip with strangers as part of your travel experience. It's also an excellent opportunity for digital nomads who want to immerse themselves in local culture while still having time for their own interests.
You can find great opportunities by looking online at sites like Airbnb (or any other accommodation site), TripAdvisor or Google Flights—just be sure not only does it have availability on those days but also that it fits within your budget! If there isn't anything available on these websites then ask locals where they would recommend going since they know better than anyone else what's fun nearby!
Travel with a friend who you can explore with
When you travel alone, the world is your oyster. You can do whatever you want and explore as much as possible. But when it comes to friends and family, there are many things that need to be taken into consideration:
Traveling with a friend can be expensive. If they want to go on an adventure together, they might want to stay at more expensive hotels or eat out every meal because they don't know what's available in their own country (which could mean finding food under $10).
It's stressful if one person needs an early start while the other doesn't have any plans for that day. This could happen even if both people have similar schedules—for example, if one person has work early in the morning and another wants their late afternoon nap after work hours...it can cause problems!
It gets difficult if each person has different schedules because then there are always going to be days where either one of them cannot meet up with you due to work/family obligations/traveling around countries themselves."
Do your research about digital nomad meetups
Digital nomads are a very social bunch, so it's important to find a digital nomad meetup in your destination city. You can search for digital nomad meetups on Meetup, or you can try asking the owner of your hostel or hotel if they know of any. If there are none available in your area, then consider finding one closer by—it's always better to be too far away than not far enough!
If you can't find any digital nomads nearby, this doesn't mean that there aren't any out there at all—it simply means that they haven't yet found each other yet (or perhaps they're currently saving their travel dollars). The Internet is full of opportunities for making friends with people who enjoy similar interests as yourself and sharing those experiences together; don't let fear stop you from taking advantage!
When you're a digital nomad, it's easy to be alone. But there are ways around this.

There are many ways of making friends while traveling so that you can have some fun and meet new people when you need them most:
Join a Meetup group in your area. Meetups tend to have smaller crowds than parties or bars, which means more time for talking and getting to know each other better. This can be especially helpful if you're traveling alone but want more than just one friend at the same time!
If possible, try going somewhere local like a coffee shop where everyone knows each other already (even if they don't). You'll probably see familiar faces when it comes time to leave town again!
The truth is, if you're a digital nomad and have been on your own for a while, it can get lonely. But there are ways around this. By connecting with others who are also traveling and exploring the world as digital nomads, you'll find other people who share your interests and values. And that's what makes traveling such an amazing experience!
