I am normally very reserved. Quiet, bookish. I was traveling alone in the Caribbean and on the flight I decided the trip would be more fun if I had friends. I decided to just say hi to every person and strike up a conversation if they were interested.

I made a crew of 8 friends, we did everything together and kept in touch for years.

Just make a point to say hi and be open to having a conversation.

If you can’t think of anything to say: Speak about something you find interesting Engage with the person you’re talking to and figure out what they’re interested in
