Meeting people abroad

galwayjohn89

Im heading to Asia this summer first bit I'm travelling with people but for Hong Kong Shenzen and Beijing in late July I'll be on my own.

What's the best way to meet similar people abroad. Would like to meet up with Irish travelers if possible

People are people. Just go about your general gist If you want to stick with Irish/European faces for the entire journey then, I'm sure you'll make enough connections at the beginning of your travels to see you through. If you want to completely experience where you're heading, and by some fluke haven't met decent people on the ground during your first hurrah, they'll pop up; opportunity generally always appears (and leads to more fun) =D

Stay in small hostels that host social activities everyday, you're bound to meet at the very least Westerners and possibly Irish that way.

Having said that, I have no idea what the hostel scene is like in Asia but it's very easy in Europe.

There's a good hostel scene in China but you won't meet many Irish (I consider that an advantage). Hostels are good value, generally well run and plentiful. You'll meet a lot of Chinese who are eager to practice their English and can be a great help in getting around and planning your next move.

While in Asia I made friends with people everywhere. Get chatting to people on buses when you're heading somewhere new or in bars, hostels etc. You really won't struggle to make friends
