Find and join groups according to your interests such as clubbing, surfing, touring Eland expeditions, hiking or fishing. https://www.couchsurfing.org

2. InterNations:

This is a network for expatriates residing in a particular country. Membership expatriate workers include non-governmental (NGO) workers, diplomats and corporate employees. On InterNations, site membership is by invitation only, and you have to apply and wait to be accepted.

Features include organizing monthly meetings, get-togethers and building a community. Exchange tips and advice, get information from city guides, talk about housing, visas and other interesting things. https://www.internations.org

3. Meetups:

This is a social media site suitable for that one time passerby as well as for repeat users. Search for any city in the world and you will find events and groups of people with shared interests. Events are organized by location, profession or interest. http://www.meetup.com/find

4. Tripping:

Search by city, and filter the results by gender, age or other criteria from their profile. Tripping helps you find compatible friends with closely pre-determined characteristics.

5. WAYN:

WAYN offers travelers the chance to meet new friends during their journey and on arrival. Share and get tips about the best sightseeing locations, restaurants and lodging. List your interests, previous experiences, and your traveling preferences. This site will help you to meet and interact with people with similar interests. http://www.wayn.com

7. Link Expats:

Here you can search other members according to their nationalities in a particular country. Join other members in organizing tour events. Read and write reviews of a particular country and your travel experiences. Get answers for various questions such as how to get a job or how to find a German newspaper in Dubai. http://www.linkexpats.com

8. Be Welcome:

This site connects you with the locals. Use it to get a local tour guide or someone with knowledge of the local environment. Cook together and exchange recipes from home countries. Access the comments page for the opinions left by former guests. http://www.bewelcome.org

Social Networking websites allow us to communicate with our friends from all over the world. It not an embellishment to say that social networking sites are closely integrated into our lives. Especially for the younger generations, communication and technologies are growing far faster than they did in their grandfathers’ time. Communication with strange people from all over the world doesn’t look strange after all.

Reach People around the world by using the above social networking sites!

    These websites opens a new door to the outer world and one can explore places share things tell others about it and more. Just updating status on social media sites is alone not the world. there are other interesting websites that connect like minded people. Love to see such ideas. Social networks are also getting niche related now.
