Hi I’m Vanessa from speak English with Vanessa.com where you can have natural conversations in English without stress a lot of my students have told me on Skype that it’s difficult for them to meet local people when they’re traveling and this is especially important when they’re traveling to English speaking countries they want to meet local people so that they can practice English and meet people from a different culture but you can’t really just walk up to a stranger on the street and ask them to be your friend so in today’s video I’m going to share with you my number one tip for meeting locals in any city around the world even in your hometown let’s go to meet locals and native speakers in almost any city around the world.

I recommend visiting the website meetup.com meetup.com at this website you can choose any city around the world and you can choose any interest like sports hi keen language exchange photography beer small businesses you can choose any topic that interests you and in the city and see if there’s a group meeting I want to share with you to meet ups that I found in a very popular cities that sounded interesting to give you an example of what these meet ups are like a lot of people visit New York when their first visit in the U. S. so I recommend going to meetup.com and checking out the different local meet ups in the area I found one that was particularly interesting there were over 12000 people signed up to this meetup group and it’s called alternatives to the bar fun things to do in New York City today at this meet up there were 30 to 40 people who showed up each time to the meet up and with over 800 past events there’s always something going on at this meet up.

They have gone on it going to art museums they’ve gone on adventures reading festivals music scene the animals there’s a wide variety of topics that this meetup has covered so I recommend going to meetup.com and checking out this meetup if you’re going to New York you have a great chance to meet native speakers the second one is in London in the UK and this made up it’s called fun and unusual things to do in London there have been over 250 passed to meet ups with about 30 to 50 people each time that’s great so you have a chance of meeting 30 to 50 local people who want to see who can speak English and who are interested in a similar activity as you this meetup group they go to local ponds they visit museums they happens walking tours.
