Have you ever wondered how to make friends during your trip? If yes, how, how many and for how many days? Well, the string is easy to ask and hard to answer. We meet many people in our lives, with whom we speak some day, at some point. Our life has become so busy that we can hardly make friends or even remember those friends. Each new day brings a new friend and the list goes on forever until the last day of our lives. A very interesting place to make friends is during trips, when we have free time to share conversations with our fellow travelers.
Whether it’s a bus, a train or a plane, people from different cultures accompany us. The main fundamental behind friendship is to be social, that is, communicative. Unlike filling our bread basket with bread and butter every day, making friends is a different matter. Friendship can be compared to a plant that demands proper care. The more we put in our conversational effort, the more it will flourish. But many people are introverts and love to fill their gray cell with bookish knowledge. The technique of making friends is not to distance yourself from books, but to share the knowledge of what has been found. Our trip to an interesting place can lead to a long-lasting trip with friends.
There are a few steps that can help you make friends on your journey. The first step is to express yourself in the environment. Build your confidence and be upbeat in everything you talk about. Your facial expression plays a big role in this process of how to make friends. Avoid frowning and warm up the atmosphere with your sweet smile. Not only will this encourage the spirit of the communicator, but it will also label you as a good listener. Don’t just introduce yourself by nodding and smiling and try to be an active member of the conversation. Add your thoughts, but don’t plan to hijack the conversation. Sometimes he jokes and attracts others. In case you meet strangers, greet them with Hello or Hello. Your senior seatmates may keep quiet but feel comfortable discussing some religious and cultural topics.
Share food with your peers and tell them about your type of cuisine. Turn on your culture and receive a variety of yours. You can also bring a notepad and ask them to write about themselves. Be loyal and share your contact numbers and addresses with them. Ask if they have an account on social networking sites like Orkut, Face Book, etc. Talk to them about their circle of friends and ask them the same thing. Add compliments to their words and flatter their ideas. You can seek help from your new friend to explore the new land. Enjoy the deep-seated beauty of the foreign land and spend time having fun with friends. Before you leave the venue, present your friend with a nice gift. This will make him feel special about the new relationship and you will remain forever in his heart. Express your gratitude towards him and his service. Finally invite him to your land and say goodbye. Remember, you can always make some good and loyal friends during your trip.
Your return from travel may offer you exhaustion and a busy daily schedule. The weather can become hectic and you may find it difficult to continue friendships. But then, the ultimate way to rekindle the relationship lies in following the smart advice. Add a friend to your friends list and set a reminder of their birth date, anniversary date and wish them. Fill up for free to talk on the phone and spray good words anytime via email. You can also send an eCard by email or give it as a gift by mail or online.
Friendship Day is the third week of May, so prepare as well as possible and consecrate your circle of friends. Make good friends. Share the joy. And lead a quality life.
