We think it’s safe to say that many adults who are still journeying through life have realized, it’s actually harder to make new friends as an adult than we thought! Where do people meet? How do they start a conversation? Are we being creepy? Where do I start? As a fellow millennial with many friends ranging from boomers to Gen-X to Gen-Z, this has been a question we’ve been asking for a while. And we’re not even mentioning the catastrophe of this pandemic that furthers our incapability to even try to make friends out there in the world.

As if to answer our yearning questions, the many talented travel agents and companies just like Strideley have decided to work on hosted trips for those with like minded minds. Back then, the idea of traveling with strangers just seemed so wacky, besides the usual tour groups that picked you up from your hotel and asks you to follow their flag as you go down historical properties. Now, we fully immerse you and like minded strangers to enjoy a new environment together! Enjoy pasta making class in Italy, or hiking through Diamond Head in Hawaii, no matter the activity the enjoyment of a common venture can help you meet new people and open up the door of opportunity of becoming friends.

Travelers will experience an itinerary specifically made to not only allow each traveler to enjoy, learn and experience the country they are in but also getting to know the people on the trip with them.

Whether it’s to make new friends or maybe even furthering that down to a budding relationship, the world is open to everyone and Strideley is happy to provide these opportunities with hosted retreats for everyone. So make sure to follow us on Instagram or Facebook for when we announce our Strideley hosted retreats!
