Backpacking comes with the fact that you’re going to meet new people along the way. This provides the perfect opportunity for you to make new friends, best friends, or even better, someone to fall in love with. What can you do to nurture this romantic feeling with someone you have your eyes on without messing up this chance? How do you ensure that both of you will end up with a great time? Here’s what you need to know to make sure that love works on the road:
1. Don’t be shy
If you’re fortunate, you might just run into someone that’s into shy people. However, you’re a backpacker, and you have no excuse to be shy! Of course, you might be a little laid back when you hang around your place, but when you’re out and about, this is the chance to make moves.
Don’t be afraid to start a conversation or even attempt to speak in the local language. You might spark a good laugh, which will eventually leave you with a good set of friends, and hopefully something a little more exciting.
2. Always ask for advice
Even if you have access to the entire internet for information, it is better if you ask other backpackers around for advice. Not only is this a great conversation opener, but you’ll make the traveler feel like an expert. When they feel good about themselves, they become much more susceptible to your secret plan—to cast a love spell on them.
3. Learn the language
If you’re stuck with only one language (more often than not, English), then you won’t have too much luck with the locals. Sure, you can still find other fellow travelers to talk with, but you want more than just that. Of course, knowing the local language doesn’t guarantee that you’ll land a lover, but you can still use it to impress your other backpackers, which could land you a great time.
4. Be considerate
Despite how hell-bent you are at finding and making love on the road, be considerate to others that are around you. Sure, they might be enjoying their own time, but you should put effort into finding hidden places and private spots to spend some loving time with your partner. More often than not, your roommates will thank you for it. Plus, love is much more exciting when it is done in private with just the two of you!
On the topic of being considerate, before you do get down to business, though, make sure you’ve cleaned up. Nothing turns off the mood faster than a dirty, grimy, and stinky body. Make sure to shower first and thoroughly at that too. That way, you’re ready for a good time, and your partner can enjoy the best of you, all nice and squeaky clean.
Finding love on the road isn’t that hard if you know what to do. Of course, you will need to be considerate as well, as not everyone is looking for an enjoyable evening with you. With that said, keep the tips we’ve given you in mind and put it into practice. However, do not force anyone to get along with you. Only that way can you find true love on the road. If you are in
