Great article. I have also found that all you really have to do is put a smile on your face and be open to asking questions and engaging in conversations. Although SEA was a definite no-prob for meeting people I actually found India to be a bit difficult to find other Westerners sometimes...we're all cloistered up in guesthouses and I had to make a bit more effort...but no worries because every single Indian I met wanted to be my friend! :-) Hey!

A 3- day Warcraft vacation? That’ s quite a chunk of DKP I’ d give up, ALTHOUGH, a forced break from raiding might be nice.... costa caleta…

Its a simple as catching a ride on a bus or tour only to sit next to a friendly face and instantly become best friends. I was petrified going by myself.. I really was, but its 100% the best experience I ever had. Its changed my thoughts and ultimately my outlook on life. When asked about my favourite aspects, I refer to your number 2 point. You really do get to meet the best people travelling, like minded and always have something interesting to say, its not just about meeting people from different countries, its also age. Back home I would never of dreamt to have chatted to some random 45 year old. But there I was In Malaysia deep in the jungle with a group of 30+ from different countries having a ball at 3 am in the morning!! This for me is what life is about, and this is why I cant wait to do it all again..

I'm always amazing how this question always crops up - "will I meet people traveling?". I guess if you've never been then you don't know, I think it is great for people to read the thoughts of people who have been and realise that they won't be alone for long on the road.TravMonkey Hi Chris,

Some great points in your comments there. I'm always amazing how this question always crops up – "will I meet people traveling?". I guess if you've never been then you don't know, I think it is great for people to read the thoughts of people who have been and realise that they won't be alone for long on the road.
