What are the best ways to meet people, friends, girls etc when traveling?

I travel in the winter time for 3-4 months every winter. I run a landscape business and stay very busy during the months between middle March and midde November, and do not have really ANY social life much during this time.





I want to meet friends and possibly a girlfriend overseas, but when I travel, I always find myself a bit lonely and difficult to meet people for long term relationships.





What are the best ways to meet , especially a girlfriend you think, in for example , Europe? (if going there)





p.s. I was thinking, if i could take a class or something , like an art class it would be nice , but I really think that would be expensive. but I am thinking of picking a selected city/town to visit and staying in one place (area) for the full 3-4 months this time, instead of traveling around a lot.(as it is interesting, but kind of tiring as well, and lacks depth or appreciation sometimes)





Thanks for you answers !

Reply:Most travelers have to work whilst abroad and this is how they meet....through typical travelers jobs in bars and theatres....if you dont need to work then you should definately choose a short class or even two....to give yourself a chance...dont expect too much though....also, if you start frequenting the same bars or cafe's then chances are youll get to know some people.
Reply:Just talk to everyone eventually someone nice will turn up or even answer.good luck!!
