8 Ways To Meet New People When Travelling and Working Remotely
How to find connections as soon as you arrive in a new city
I see this post all the time on online digital nomad groups: ‘How do I meet people?’. You might think it’s fairly easy. And if you’re staying in hostels or coliving spaces, then it can be, but what if you’re flying solo without a huge network?
If you’re working on the road too, you’re not always going to have tons of time to sightsee or socialise, either.
So rather than spending hours trying to figure out where you can go and what you can do, I’ve compiled a list of all the ways you can fill your social diary, so you can kick back, settle into your new place and focus on getting work done.
1. Networking groups 🫂
If you’re doing business, why not kill two birds with one stone? You can meet new entrepreneurs. If you were in Berlin, for example, you could search ‘Berlin Networking’ and start marking your calendar with interesting events.
One good tip is to join a local Toastmasters International. It’s a public speaking organisation, and they have bi-monthly meet ups where you can hear hilarious and heart warming stories, push yourself out of your comfort zone, and get to meet new people.
