International travelers, whether traveling for business or pleasure, will find themselves alone from time to time．Here are a few ways to meet new people and perhaps even get new travel chances．

1．Be polite and friendly．Remember to put yourself in social situations．Restaurants, shops and parks are all great places to meet people．If you want to make local friends in a country, stay near the places the locals often visit．

2．Keep a small photo album in your bag when you travel．Photos of family, friends and pets will help your new friends learn more about you．They will share their similar experiences with you, and it will help you learn more about your new friends．

3．Can you help your new friends improve their Chinese? Can you cook a traditional Chinese meal? By sharing your experiences, you can have a close relationship with your new friends that they won’t soon forget．

4．Many foreigners love Chinese goods but have to pay a lot when buying them in their homeland, so you’d better prepare some gifts such as silks, tea and china(瓷器)．They are always popular．

5．If you and your new friends get along well, you can give them your information and plan to live in each other’s house for your next trip．Then you can visit their countries and stay in their houses while they stay in yours．In this way you will improve your friendship and live like a local abroad, but pay less for traveling．
