Carrie and Danielle: http://carrieanddanielle.com/when-talking-to-strangers-is-a-good-idea/

When I was backpacking in Europe, I discovered a very important fact about myself: after about 36 hours without a meaningful conversation (ie: something beyond, "I'll take two, please."), I start randomly talking to strangers. Some of my most interesting trip experiences come from after that 36-hour point where I just started talking to other solo diners in a restaurant, people hanging around the tourist information office waiting for it to open, people on the train... just people. It was great!
