Ways Of Making New Friends In Jamaica

By Andrew Hill


It can be so lonely to a person who has just landed in a foreign country where he knows no one at all. Therefore, one will want to form acquaintances as soon as possible to avoid the solitude. Developing new friends in Jamaica can be so easy because the locals are naturally friendly and welcoming. Therefore, you can find yourself with quite some mates even though you will find the country to be quite hot. There are some few suggestions on how you can quickly form acquaintances.

A simple smile can do all the charm because it is not every day a stranger smiles at you. Thus, if one smile at the natives whenever you meet, they can smile back. The locals are not usually shy hence they will tend to be responsive to the positive vibe. More so, they can even start a conversation with you to know you more.

Besides the smile, greetings are more important, especially in this country. This is simply because they have a culture in which greetings are a symbol of respect and politeness, especially to strangers and foreigners. Thus, if you make a point of greeting people in the morning, the afternoon as well as evening, you can easily get yourself a new buddy who will feel that you are kind and polite.

To add on that, if you show that you are interested greatly in their culture, they can see it as an act of appreciation. Thus, if you ask any person you meet and request them to explain their culture to you, they will do that with an open mind. They will make sure that you have understood their wide and beautiful culture.

Sharing you drinks is another way of forming new companionship. Even though a person may not be a heavy drinker, alcohol tends to bring people together. You may even invite a person to join you for a drink in your house, and they will accept gladly if you are polite.

Another option that you can use to land yourself a new companion is fro asking for directions. You may be lost since it is a new place thus if you politely ask for directions, the natives will show you the way and even ask you where you are from. Since they enjoy meeting foreigners, they can become your mates.

Another option can be asking the locals to give you a taste of their traditional meals. Therefore, they can cook their food for you and share it with you. This is normally a very nice way to from mates because sharing food tends to have a friendly effect on people. Also, tell them about your love for their country, and they will like you immediately.

Last but not least, attending social events can also do the trick. This is because a good number of people will also attend the events hence you may be able to meet locals and even other foreigners and start conversing with them. Any event, concert, or a summit can be helpful.
