This day has been a long time coming and you\u2019re damned if you\u2019re not going to make the most of it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ready to Mingle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/137.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2816 size-full post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/137.jpg\" alt=\"antisocial backpackers - in the woods\" width=\"535\" height=\"491\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After a bumpy, noisy and dusty bus journey from the airport to the hostel, you\u2019re eager and excited to meet your fellow travellers; kindred souls, open and ready to share in your enthusiasm for exploring the world!<\/p>\n<p>You throw down your 40 litre, overstuffed backpack after checking in and make your way to the hostel common room with a spring in your step.<\/p>\n<p>However, the common room is pretty quiet, with people scattered individually all over the room. That\u2019s ok. You\u2019re determined to be the one to unite the hostel in friendly solidarity.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Feeling The Cold Shoulder<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/233.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2817 size-full post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/233.jpg\" alt=\"antisocial backpackers: in the dorm\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You start off by making your way over to the guy in the corner with the well-worn hiking shoes and the sun-soaked skin. He\u2019s bound to have a few good stories to tell!<\/p>\n<p>You say hello and he returns the pleasantries but doesn\u2019t seem very keen on engaging any further in conversation. You move on, kind of disappointed at your first interaction with a fellow traveller.<\/p>\n<p>The next group of people seem keen on sticking to themselves, politely declining your friendly request to go grab a few beers from the local \u2018tienda\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Another solo traveller has had their head firmly stuck to their computer screen since you arrived. \u2018No point in disturbing them\u2019, you think disappointedly.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Find Your Tribe &amp; Respect The Rest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/328.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2818 size-full post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/328.jpg\" alt=\"antisocial backpackers: tribe\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to feel disappointed when people close themselves off to interacting with other travellers. Don\u2019t take it as a personal insult or as something against your personality. Just remember that all travellers are at a different stage of their journey. While some are just starting off on their adventure with unparalleled vigour and zest, others are winding down their adventure in a pensive and reflective state of mind.<\/p>\n<p>Someone who has been travelling for several months, or even a year, will not be as enthusiastic about meeting new people as someone who has just arrived to the first city on their world tour.<\/p>\n<p>With some patience, you\u2019ll find your tribe. There is always someone in the same boat as you. Just make sure not to judge the rest.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Anti-Social or Tired?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/423.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2819 size-full post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/423.jpg\" alt=\"antisocial backpackers: tired\" width=\"535\" height=\"358\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Travelling is beautiful because it is like a continually revolving door; allowing anyone to join or leave the adventure at any time. Travel is not exclusive to extroverts, social-butterflies or adrenaline junkies. Travel welcomes everyone, from the introverted guy in the corner who needs some time away from the noise, to the recent college grad who has never left her home country before.<\/p>\n<p>So don\u2019t judge the person at the hostel who seems to be very absent-minded. They could just be homesick or longing for an exotic land.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t judge the person at the hostel who doesn\u2019t want to go out partying. They could be heartbroken, or just plain broke.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t judge the person at the hostel who sits in the dorm on their computer for hours. They could just need some time to themselves or may need to get some important work done.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t judge the person at the hostel who seems to lack enthusiasm for meeting new people. They could be on their seventh month of continuous travel and tired of answering the question \u2018where are you from?\u2019 over and over.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>You Can\u2019t \u2018Win\u2019 At Travelling<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/515.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2820 size-full post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/515.jpg\" alt=\"antisocial backpackers: embracing nature\" width=\"535\" height=\"401\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Travelling is not a competition, nor is hostelling. There is no right way to travel, to meet people or to have fun. Whether you\u2019re an introvert feeling overwhelmed by the constant stream of people in your hostel, or a new traveller wondering why everyone is not as excited as you, just remember the simplest rule of travel; everyone\u2019s on their own journey.<\/p>\n<p><em>Looking for a great deal on a hostel?
