Because it’s fun, but more importantly, when you travel and you meet different types of women, maybe you don’t date all of them, you are going to learn a lot about women in general. And some of the women you are going to meet when you are traveling, it’s just refreshing, and it’s incredible.

Especially girls who are traveling solo. The most high-quality girls I have met in my life have all been solo travelers. I have met them while I was traveling, they were traveling, with a few of them I had a date, most of them I had nothing, no dating, nothing romantic, or anything. But I met them, and they are really amazing. So, when you are traveling, you should meet women.

Let’s talk about how to meet women in the right way.

Always give respect to women

So the first tip is that, don’t make women the center of your travels. Don’t do that. Keep it detached, keep it light hearted, keep it from a very curiosity perspective. As a part of your travels, that you are going and traveling the world, and on the way you want to explore this part of the world. Women, which is an incredibly incredible species. Beautiful and very enigmatic.

As men, we are always curious about women. We want to explore them too. So, keep that type of attitude. Don’t go into a conquest mode where you brag to your friends that, Oh, I met this girl and I did this. All that is bullshit. In fact, you should be honoured that you are traveling and you met this incredible woman. And you learned something, you shared something. So, take that attitude.

Always be an honest and authentic person

No alcohol, no drugs, nothing, no intoxication. You are not there for a hook up, you are not there for eternal love. You are there for curiosity. You are curious about her, her beauty, and who she is. And you are attracted to her. You show that attraction in a very honest, authentic way. By flirting with her, by teasing her, by asking her questions. So, don’t try to become a friend, which most of the guys do. She must know from the minute you lock your eyes that you are attracted to her. There is nothing wrong with it.

Don’t over-chase a women

Don’t spend money on women. That’s another wrong attitude to have. Just keep it light. Have the attitude, that if it happens, it happens. If not, I am fine with it. Don’t spend a lot of time with one woman or many women. Don’t over chase, don’t spend a lot of time chit-chatting. See where things are going, things must move forward. Where you come to a place where you are immediately dating and hanging out. There is no drama or waste of time, basically. So, make sure of that.

Find a perfect location to meet girls

If you want to meet women for real, you will have to be smart about it. That’s also a reality. And one of the things that you have to be really smart about the location. Because the fact is that you are not going to meet women everywhere. Because the logistics won’t allow it.

Imagine that you are in a village in say, Malaysia. You will not have many women there. The social structure will be such that you won’t be able to interact with many women. So, maybe one or two of them. And I am saying village, but you get the idea. If it’s a very small town, your chances are going to be less.

But if you are in a big city, especially a city that is walkable, and which is open, there are many people who are traveling. Or maybe a city that is full of backpackers and travelers. Just the number of women you can interact with is going to go up. And that is going to increase your chances. So, if you want to meet women, then you must have some locations in your mind. Where you are going to travel and maybe during that part of your travels, women are an important part.

Go to big cities, where there are many girls to meet

So, for example, you are traveling through Southeast Asia. So, you spend some time in Mumbai, India, where there are many cute girls. Or Goa, where you spend more time. And then you spend more time meeting women. But not that you go to a small place and you expect to meet a lot of women. So, make sure of that.

It could be that you are in a small town. But you are staying in a backpackers hostel. Where there are many girls who come on a daily basis. And go on a daily basis. So, you need to take care of the volume, and the number of women you can interact with.

I would always encourage you to go to big cities. Because simply big cities have more options. Especially big cities of Europe, Latin America, and North America. The number of women you can meet are really high. Or cities like Goa in India. You know, basically, cities where there are many women. And you can interact with them, you can meet them.

Find cities with a lot of tourists, travelers and backpackers

Now, a city like, for example, LA, Los Angeles. It’s very big. But the way the city moves is that everyone needs a car and there is no foot traffic. So, meeting women is very difficult in LA. Because the only place you can meet women is nightclubs. Right? So, you need to find the right place where you can meet more women throughout the day. If that’s what you want. Which could be walkable cities. Cities with a lot of tourists, travelers, backpackers, vacationers, and college students. Based on your age. So, take care of that.

Always go for local girls for less competition

I would say that if you want to meet women from different parts of the world. Go for local girls. More than backpackers. Simply because backpackers are very used to being hit on by guy backpackers. And if you are in a backpackers hostel, competition is a lot. Because everyone is talking to everyone. It’s really difficult to have a one-on-one with a girl. And she is new to that place. So, you will have to extract it out.

In case you are in a backpackers hostel. The best bet is solo travelers. Or girls who are two of them traveling in pairs. But in groups, it’s just messy. Because she is always in a group. And you know the entire nature of a backpackers hostel.

Is that you will have to interact with the group? And it’s just going to take more complications. More time. You have to engage with everyone. Do things together. And chances are less. So asking a local girl in the city for a date will increase your chances because you will be more attracted to local girls than backpackers.

Solo female traveler

If you meet a female solo traveler in a lobby, then maybe you can strike up a conversation. She is also new. And she is solo. She may get connected to you. And you both can go out somewhere. You can hang out. And in that case, if things happen, then you can move to a different place and just chill out. And once other people see you together, not many guys are going to hit on her. But backpackers are complicated. Simply because it’s just too many people.

Backpacking hostel girl

Because like a lot of these places are where backpackers go. Backpacker hostels don’t have separate rooms. They do have separate rooms, but they are expensive. So, if you are staying in a dorm, you will have to take her out to a hotel. That’s expensive. If you are in a big city. You have to book your Airbnb. And then you can bring her to your place. To your sack. So, I have found that the backpacker community is just so complicated.

But the biggest reason is that I have found. That you will get more attraction from local girls than from backpackers. And the reason is simply that you are more exotic to a local girl.

Dating a corporate woman

I mean, imagine you are in Baku. And you meet a local girl who is working for a big company. And you just strike up a conversation in a coffee shop with her. And you tell her that I have been traveling and all. And this and that. And she gets very excited.

Because most likely she has not done that. Right. Or if she has done that. She will get excited, okay? There is a guy who is doing that too. Because most of the people in her life, in her office and all, they don’t do that. So, you just stand out. And then the entire day she will be working. So, you know you will have time to meet other women. Or you can work.

So, if you are in a big city, And you try to meet local girls. It’s just easier. And she can take you out to different places. And after a while, maybe she can invite you with her friend. So, it’s just more fun.

But then local girls will not have as much variety as travelers. Right? But do keep this in mind. Right? And one thing on solo travelers girls. Is that. It’s. Man. They really. You know they are really fun. And some of them are just top of the top. Of the top is quality. But most of them are normal.

If you do not find her, she will find someone herself

So, if a girl is traveling solo, And she is going to stay at a place for more than 2-3 weeks. She is immediately going to find a guy. Okay? She will find a guy. So, you need to really take the shot immediately. So, the best is that you hang out in the lobby. And people who are entering in. You start interacting with them.

And then, you know like if there is a solo traveler who is coming, just talk to her. And take her out somewhere. Tell her I know this place. And let’s go and all that. Basically start a connection with her as soon as she enters the new place. Right? So, she feels more connected to you. Right? But you will have a better chance with solo travelers who are girls.

Avoid large groups of women

Don’t get involved with groups. Girls who are traveling with a friend. Just two girls. That’s good. But it can be complicated. Because she is not going to leave the other girl. So, you will have to manage that threesome environment. But yes. Just take this important point in mind.

Pick a spot where you can meet women

One of the best things to do is that. Pick a spot where you are able to meet women. So, it could be a hostel somewhere. Where you just stay for some time. And the logistics and everything work. For example. The hostel is great. It has cheap single rooms. So, if you meet a girl, you can take a single room.

There are many things to do around. People are friendly. You know. So, every logistics scenario works with you. And when you stay there for some time, you know the place. So, immediately in a few weeks, you are not a new traveler.

You are someone who has been there. So, in that case, anyone who is coming, they will see you interact with local people. The hostel staff. Or you know things around. So, you will automatically elevate yourself to a leadership position. And that is super attractive to anyone. Okay. Super, super attractive. Don’t underestimate this point.

Take the social leverage

If you are in a big city. And you are going for a local girl. Your advantage is that you are safe. You are exotic. And this is something no one will ever know. For the girl. But if you are in a backpackers hostel. Then in that case. You need to position yourself at places where you can meet many women. And you have social leverage.

So, if you are staying at some place for some time. Know the places around. Know the community. So, that you can discuss these things with people. And that’s going to be super attractive to women.

Volunteering in hostel

If you can volunteer there. I used to volunteer as a yoga teacher at many places. And I had the best interactions with women at these places. Because I was teaching yoga. So, naturally, I was elevated there. Who is the yoga teacher? He is a yoga teacher. I was travelling for a bit. I knew the place well. I knew the hostel staff. So, these cute girls would come and take class with me. It was just easy for me to interact. I would not tell you this is what you should do. Because I was never teaching yoga to meet women. I wanted to teach yoga. And on the way, I met women also. A few of them. So, keep that attitude.

Seduce her but don’t ignore her

Try to know people around you. Avoid groups. Talk to everybody. Meet a lot of people. Short interactions. That’s going to give you a lot of leverage. In fact, if you talk the least to the hottest girl. And more to other people. You don’t ignore her deliberately. But you don’t give her super attention and put her on a pedestal. So, you talk to everybody. You are a friendly guy. You talk to the old lady. You talk to baristas. You talk to the hostel staff. You talk to everyone a little bit. And then you talk slightly less to this hot girl. The girl you want to seduce. But basically, don’t put them on a pedestal. Girls don’t like it. In fact, they feel offended.

And last but not least, Keep it light-hearted, and flirty

Keep these elements. When you are trying to meet a woman. You must find a place where you can take a woman. When she is ready to take things to a physical level. And lastly, I would say. You need to start interacting with women. That’s really important. Because one of the things guys get disappointed. When they travel. Is that they don’t meet women. They try and try. But they don’t meet women.

The only place they meet women is in bars and nightclubs. Most people don’t have a vibrant social life. And when they start traveling, they meet women. They talk to them a little bit. But they are not able to really seduce them. Because they are not used to it. Or even if they seduce, they get needy. They start texting them after the adventure is over. And she has gone back home. Or some other place. You don’t need to do all of that. And that’s only because they have not really met women before.

So you need to start meeting women where you are. So that you are just comfortable. This is not something that is wow. So do that. Focus on your eye contact and body language. So keep it light-hearted, and flirty. To learn more about dating, you can read this book, The Desi Guide to Dating.

What about learning some social skills?

Try to show her a good time. Learn about body language. Try to be an interesting person. One of the problems as a backpacker. You should have something interesting. Compared to other backpackers as well. Because if you don’t stand out, the girl is not going to go for you. At least most of them. So, you need to learn how to be comfortable around feminine energy. That’s very important.

So start practicing these skills. Meeting women, storytelling. And you should be able to meet a few women. If she says no, take it as a no. Don’t push it. Don’t get needy. Don’t start chasing her. Just ask her out very honestly. After hanging out for some time. God, you are cute. Let’s do something. Let’s get together sometime. Go for a coffee or a lake. Don’t spend money on them. Be flirty. That’s very important. Do give attention to her in an authentic, non-creepy way. You will be fine. Keep these things in mind.

So best of luck! I hope you will find the woman of your life, and I also hope you enjoyed this blog post.
