now, and I've been to Brazil, Mexico, a couple countries in Europe and I'm currently living

in Australia. Throughout my travels I've learnt many different ways of how to make friends,

and today I'd like to share with you guys a couple of my top tips. Number one; so, don't

be shy! When you walk into a hostel, you have to talk to people -make conversation. Ask

them where they're from, what they're doing tonight, how long have they been in the specific

place that you're staying. The second tip that I can give to you guys is to hang out

in the hostel common areas and try to participate into all the activities the hostel has to

offer. Most hostels will offer things like pub crawls, tours, and um dinners, which is

always good because you can often meet people that are doing the same thing that you are.

And along with that, if you follow my first tip, which is not to be shy, I assure you

that you WILL make friends. My third tip I can give for you guys is to be ready with

conversation starters. Some of the few of my favourite things to start conversations

with would be asking someone what they're cooking tonight, or maybe even asking them

what their favourite artists are when they're listening to their ipod. And it's that easy!

The fourth advice I can give for you guys is to book a day trip or a tour. Before doing

that, make sure you ask the person you're booking it with -either at your hostel or

the tour company what would be best to do for you. Because during that time you're going

to be with the group for a certain amount of time and you want to make sure that you're

with the right people. And once you do that, it will be very easy to make friends. My fifth

tip, which is my most important to you guys is to always be positive. If you come in with

a positive attitude and you're happy, you keep a smile on your face and you're laughing,

your positive energy will attract all the positive people around you as well. That's

all for today, those are the top tips that I've learnt while travelling, just remember

-like I said earlier if you come in with a positive attitude you will always, always

be able to meet new people, I promise you this. Thank you guys.
