Making friends as an adult can feel pretty intimidating right? If you've ever thought about expanding your social circle, you probably wish it were as easy as it was in childhood, when you could simply ask another kid to play and—boom—instant best friends! While we can't turn back time, making friends on your Eureka Trip is easier than you think. Here’s how:
You’re Not the Only One Flying Solo
First off, you’re not the only solo traveler. In fact, 70% of people who book Eureka Trips travel alone! So, you’re definitely not the odd one out. Solo travelers are paired with a same-gender roommate, giving you an immediate buddy to connect with.
Suss People Out Before You Go
We’ve all done a bit of harmless social media stalking, right? No shame in that! Looking into who will be on the trip with you beforehand can help you feel at ease. Knowing a few faces ahead of time means you’ll have people to look for when you arrive.
Act Confident (Even If You’re Not)
“Fake it till you make it” is a real concept! Social anxiety affects everyone differently. Some people thrive in crowds but struggle in one-on-one conversations, and vice versa. The key is to smile, ask questions, and don’t hesitate to admit when you’re feeling a little nervous—it shows confidence. Plus, our trip leaders are true icebreakers!
Be Yourself—Seriously!
Remember, the people on these trips want to meet you! So don’t try to be someone you’re not. Whether you’re obsessed with '90s sitcoms, can quote every Marvel movie, or have a hidden party trick, let your personality shine. It’s the real you that will help you make genuine connections.
