▶ Your Answer : Some people think that playing a group sport or joining a club is the best way to make new friends. However, in my opinion, traveling is the most effective method to make new friends. This is because traveling makes people close naturally and group sports sometimes generate conflict.
To begin with, going on a trip encourages people to bond easily. Beautiful sceneries and delicious food of a local region provide people with good moods to have conversations. Also, under this environments, they are able to talk with others easily about their common interests such as food, place and culture of that area. For example, when I was in twenties, I decided to go to Europe alone. I was so feared because this was my first time to go abroad by myself. When I went to France, I met a friend at the Eiffel Tower who traveled alone just like me. We were naturally talking about magnificent and greatness of the Tower. After that, I traveled other places with her and had conversation a lot. So, I still keep in touch with her.
On top of that, playing group sports causes trouble. The reason is that group sports are required to be cooperative but they do not know one's personality and style each other. This is able to break their teamwork and even gives rise to strife. For instant, when I was in college, I joined a basketball club to make friends. We formed a group and played game together. However, I did not know well my club members' traits and this reflected our play. After all, we losed the game and we shifted responsibility back and forth. Consequently, I drifted apart from my club members.
To sum up, people can mingle with others by traveling and playing group sports triggers fight. In this regard, I firmly believe that going on a trip is the best way to make new friends.
