Walking Tours - This is the easiest way to meet people from all around the world. I always have great chats with interesting people and end up having drinks or a bite of food after the tour. This is often more enjoyable than the tour itself.
Actually, it's quite easy to meet people if you're simply willing to talk. I can't count the number times I ended up doing things with locals or fellow travelers after meeting them on the plane (Bangkok, at a cafe (Mexico City, a sushi resto (Santa Monica, hotel lobby bar (Bratislava, museum (Washington, DC, on and on. Sure I have no problems making friends but traveling makes for very easy, organic conversation.
Excellent video as usual.

I think one of the best ways to travel is to join volunteer workcamps. They're pretty cheap and yet you REALLY get to explore the culture of the country where you're working, doing activities that usually tourists don't know about or going places that other tourists aren't allowed to visit, always working side by side with the locals, talking with them and getting to know their culture from a really interesting point of view.
And at the same time you're usually in a very international environment with people from all over the world! Working and talking with them all day long helps to create a bond that often lasts for a lifetime!

I go on meetup. com and see if there are any groups related to my interests. Most cities have language meetups, hiking or walking groups and board game groups. I'm an introvert, but have found most of these groups to be very welcoming. Then be sure to invite anyone you meet to do something outside the group as well. Yes, as another commenter pointed out, so many things revolve around drinking, so be careful with that. It's hard to stay safe if you get drunk with strangers.

Good advice overall, but I find it's mainly geared towards exchange students.
Having said that, it's good to try to be open when out.
I ask a lot of questions. Even if it's not a friendship, I learned something new! :)
I am glad I said yes to meeting the exchange students in university. I'm still in contact with a lot still!
But any advice for us older folks (30's+) would be greatly appreciated. I feel a bit old for hostels!

Today I was remembering your video about studying abroad and the advice to always try and get to know people on the first day. Today was my first day at a new school in Prague and I did that. I swear to god if not for that video, I'd stay sitting alone in the corner. I'm a huge introvert but I made myself come up to people and say hi BECAUSE MARK KNOWS BETTER: D thanks for these videos, they are highly appreciated!

It really depends on the culture of the country. For instance in Japan, I found that the local Japanese were not open to being friends with an American in Japan. It is a cultural thing and I didn't take it personally. In Argentina, they were much more open to being buddies with an American. Again a cultural thing.

In Italy every year 4 milions Of American tourists But a friendship With italians Is very very rare. Americans think is possible to know Italian culture without knowing italians. It s The same to know what Is love without a partner! Americans: in My opinion the strangest people in the World! Weird And ugly
