Allow Yourself to Feel Things
If you want to find love on your trips, you need to have your mind open to the possibility. Have yourself prepared to feel things that on a normal day you would protect yourself from.

Understand Your Environment

Go out, explore your environment, and if the trip had several guests with whom you are spending time in the same facility, try and engage in similar activities with them. Go to malls, and restaurants, and hop on public transport, talk to strangers if need be.
Ditch your friends sometimes

This, however, doesn’t mean you should be standing around alone looking for love, but maybe take a little stroll around or go have a nice refreshment by yourself. While you’re at it, make an effort to learn how to say “Hello” in the native language.
Be Willing to Start Conversations
