Do you like traveling? Maybe you are planning a tour around the cities of your native country during your long-awaited vacation.
Or maybe you dream to visit the most unusual corners of our planet. In any case, learning about new places, cultures and people is incredibly interesting and fascinating. However, unfortunately, this is not always possible.
The circumstances that force you to cancel the next trip may be different, but the main thing is that almost always they entail a spoiled mood and disappointment due to unfulfilled plans. Instead of succumbing to despondency, we suggest an alternative way to deal with an unpleasant situation. Why not take advantage of the unifying power of the limitless Internet to travel to other cities and countries by meeting people who live there?
Below is a short list of resources that will make such an unusual approach easy to do.
Dating websites
Dating services appear annually like mushrooms after rain. You can find a website that selects partners based on interests, sexual orientation, religion, and even things that they both hate. However, we are interested in the most significant international websites, because it is the place where users from all over the world gather.
OkCupid
This is a very large international service with an audience of more than 50 million people. You can easily register on the website or log in via Facebook. In any case, we recommend that you do the initial setup and indicate your purpose of staying on the website: are you looking for relationships or just friendship and communication. In this way you will not mislead your new friends.
To find an interlocutor from a specific country, you need to specify it as your location in the profile settings. Fortunately, unlike many similar websites, on OkCupid you can change geolocation at any time for free.
Badoo
This is another great resource for chatting with people around the world. Badoo is visited by at least 100 million people a month. Website users are mainly residents of Europe and the USA. The main age category is 25-34 years.
In addition to a huge audience, among which you will definitely find an interesting interlocutor, one of the advantages of the website is the free adjustment of your geolocation, as is the case with OkCupid. The only thing worth paying attention to is a working GPS or determination of your location in the browser – you need to turn them off, otherwise changing the settings manually will fail.
Tinder
This is an extremely popular application (and website) for quick dating and communication. Tinder is especially tied to your location, and its users, by default, believe that they are talking to a person who lives somewhere nearby. Therefore, when using this service, it is especially important to be honest not only for your own purposes, but also with your interlocutors in the matter of your whereabouts.
In contrast to the first two services, you can change your location in Tinder only after paying a fee.
Random chat roulettes
Considering that random video chats by default have the ability to connect you to interlocutors from different countries, we can conclude that such resources are purposefully created to search for interlocutors around the world.
ChatRandom
This is one of the oldest known random chat roulettes. For the ninth consecutive year, video chat provides an opportunity for everyone to chat with millions of people from different countries. Of course, a system finds a partner for conversation, however ChatRandom has a built-in ability to limit the selection to a specific location.
To indicate the country with the resident of which you want to talk, pay attention to the upper right corner of the website page. Next to the “globe” there is a drop-down menu where you need to choose a location. From this moment on, your interlocutors will remain random, but they will still be able to tell you about places that are of interest to you.
Shagle
Users from 70 countries are waiting for you in this random online video chat. Shagle, like ChatRandom, allows you to limit the search for the person you are talking to within a specific country. To do this, you need to use the chat settings, in particular, the geolocation filter. Indicate the country you are interested in so that the chat search functionality will be tailored to your needs.
Shagle provides a bonus which is an extremely convenient feature that greatly facilitates communication with foreigners. It is a system of automatic translation between 6 languages introduced into web chat. Thanks to this, a conversation with any person becomes comfortable and convenient, and you can forget what a language barrier is.
By the way, do not forget to indicate the purpose of the search for the interlocutor in the chat filters. Believe it or not, your new friends will appreciate this.
CooMeet
This is one of the safest random video chats, which allows to choose the country of future interlocutors as well as gender. So, a man has the opportunity to learn about the most interesting sights, the most beautiful places and delicious cafes while taking to a pretty and polite girl.
At the moment, the service is available only in the web version, however, a mobile application is under way in order to use chat roulette from a smartphone as comfortably as possible.
This concludes our quick review, and you just have to choose which platform to use for a virtual trip and vivid impressions of new acquaintances.
