One of the best ways to truly know a place while you’re traveling is to take part in some local events and also get the best travel experiences, while keeping an eye on the overall budget.
Whether you are traveling single or as a couple, or maybe as a small group or pair of friends, meeting other fellow travelers will help you share the expenses and do more with the same amount of money, and also let you meet new friends and fellow adventurers.
With this idea, use your phone to install some of the apps below, and start meeting other travelers who are in and around the area where you are traveling to, on the dates you are there.
1. Meetup
Of late, this has become one of the most used and loved travel apps if you are looking to find like-minded people on your trips, and also want to get some amazing experiences. The idea is to bring together a group of like-minded people while travelling, and engage in adventures and activities that you may not have taken part in if you were alone. Get ready to be a part of live events where you are going to and check the meetup schedule. You can also contact group members individually.
2. Party With A Local
Just as the name suggests, this app lets you meet up with locals and party with the locals. It helps you to find the best places to head out to if you are looking to experience night life in a particular area, and also helps you pay the right prices. You can also connect with local party goers and catch up for drinks.
3. Travel Pal

This app works in more than 150 countries and connects more than 1.5 million travelers and hosts across different countries around the world. You really need to try this app, because it has locals who will let you crash in at their apartment for free or for a very nominal price!
4. Couchsurfing
It does what it says, lets you surf couch stay options with local hosts in more than 2,00,000 cities and with more than 14 million people on board. The best way to make sure you get a good deal out of this and are safe too is by checking out the common interests. If you already find another fellow traveler through another app, you can check for the stay options and book accordingly.
While all the apps are very popular on the travel scene, you need to trust your instinct and have some interaction to keep yourself safe. A good way to do this would be to read the real user reviews before you actually sign up for something.
