Swedish Travelers: "meeting People Is The Greatest Part"

Card image cap

I met two travelers from Sweden on a beach in Thailand. Here's what they shared:

• One of them quit both her jobs — a cafe waitress and a daycare worker — right before this trip, and she'll look for something new when she gets home
• Her friend plans to keep working after the trip, and figure things out from there
• Their plan here is simple: explore, take in the sun, and keep moving instead of staying in one place
• Why Thailand: the weather, plus glowing recommendations from other backpackers
• Favorite place: Koh Tao — they love how the nature makes everything feel cosy
• The best part of the trip, they say, is staying in hostels and meeting so many new people — they've already made a lot of friends
• On cost: dinner back in Sweden runs three to four times more than it does here
• Their dating advice for guys: just be happy and open — that's the key to meeting people
