How do you make friends while traveling solo?

Nowadays, there are so many resources out there to make you feel part of a community everywhere you go. Social media has been my go-to. I have met some of my best friends through private Facebook groups - like the location specific ones for digital nomads. Since I'm really active on Instagram, I also tend to find lots of friends on Instagram, for example: By interacting with people with similar interests online (never know the power of a hashtag used with purpose!), you could meet your next real-life friend like it happened to me here.
