The key to making a friend while traveling (and potentially a romantic connection!) is learning the local language of your destination.

Before hopping on the plane, choose one of Babbel's 14 languages to begin your journey. Choose Spanish if you're planning to party in Ibiza, Indonesian if you're going on a tropical surf tour, or Dutch if you're planning to adventure to the "Venice of the North" (that's Amsterdam!).
Babbel's lessons are purposefully short, lasting just 10-15 minutes, making language learning on your busiest days possible. Its courses are also focused on helping students develop practical conversational skills. Learn how to order meals, ask for directions, hail a taxi, and chat about pop culture in your new language to make new connections.
Along with lessons, the platform offers speech-recognition technology that listens to and analyzes your pronunciation. This could help you build your speaking confidence in your new language and allow you to make new friends abroad. You might even attract the attention of of a cute local and land a date!
If you want to keep growing your language skills as you're traveling, you can bring your Babbel lessons on the road or in the air. You can also download lessons beforehand to study offline (perfect for fliers) and enjoy personalized review sessions that help you remember the phrases and words you've learned.
