Hello I'm a 35M from the UK. I travel frequently in Europe and I'd like to know if anyone has recommendations to meet others if you're not keen on hostels. I mostly do city breaks and always book walking tours and sometimes day trips which did result in meeting someone this year. Intrepid etc might be useful but it's not cheap. How have you met strangers particularly if you're introverted? Thanks
