Best Advice for Seniors coming at you from a new location this week. I'm in Porto in Portugal. If you're in Porto, then message me because you never know, we might be able to meet up for dinner or a drink or something. But if you're traveling alone like I am and you want to meet other people, where do you find them? Well, if you're looking for people of the dating variety, you can check out the apps like Tinder, Hinge, Bumble Field. If you're looking for people who are a bit more, more alternative, you can set your location to the new place that you're in and see who's around. If you're meeting people just for dinner or drinks, there's a great Facebook group called Host a Sister where women who are traveling solo can post where they are for how long and see if there's local people that are willing to hang out with them. There are walking tours that are organized by places like GetYourGuide is a good app, and you can find local walking tours. There's Eventbrite, there's Facebook events, there's Meetup. So there's no shortage of ways that you can find other people to hang out with if, like me, you are traveling solo.
