Meeting People on your Gap Year
You really don't have to worry about meeting people while you are travelling. You will meet people everywhere, all the time. And it really is a small world. I helped out a couple of guys in Red Square in Moscow, and when my friend and I got on our train the following evening they were in the next cabin. Then we bumped into people in China who we had met on the train from Russia to Mongolia. Small world.
