One of the things I love about backpacking is the ease of making new friends on the road. Sometimes you meet that new person on a train, an airplane, a hostel, a street, or anywhere.

As travelers, we tend to be very open-minded and welcoming to almost anyone friendly enough to interact with us. We love to create that sense of community with fellow travelers and that feeling of connection with non-travelers.

One of the things that help us make that connection with other travelers is our shared passion for traveling, our ability to exchange our stories, and the possibility to share our current and future journeys with them.

The main Benefit is we can call them when we need a help when no one of our closest are there and also we can break our SHY BARRIER

 
<h2>Breaking the Shy Barrier</h2>
Just so you know… I’m not a social butterfly, in fact, I’m a very shy person. But, traveling has pushed me forward and helped me overcome that “social obstacle.”
