What are the best ways to meet people, friends, girls etc when traveling?

I travel in the winter time for 3-4 months every winter. I run a landscape business and stay very busy during the months between middle March and midde November, and do not have really ANY social life much during this time.





I want to meet friends and possibly a girlfriend overseas, but when I travel, I always find myself a bit lonely and difficult to meet people for long term relationships.





What are the best ways to meet , especially a girlfriend you think, in for example , Europe? (if going there)





p.s. I was thinking, if i could take a class or something , like an art class it would be nice , but I really think that would be expensive. but I am thinking of picking a selected city/town to visit and staying in one place (area) for the full 3-4 months this time, instead of traveling around a lot.(as it is interesting, but kind of tiring as well, and lacks depth or appreciation sometimes)





Thanks for you answers !

so you're looking for a girlfriend for 3 - 4 months in the winter, is that a fair assumption?





don't you think your girlfriend might be lonely for the other 6 months? or do you already have a girlfriend lined up somewhere else for those months?





it sounds complicated to me.

a permanent guy instead of someone just passing by?

If you do not want a full time job and can not get a part time job, maybe a volunteer job?


That way you will meet the others who also stay there for the winter.


Or, if you like warm weather, do the same in a resort town in the tropics or southern hemisphere.





But remember that most people would not be wild to commit themselves to someone who is sure to leave after a few months.





Why not stay in your hometown, meet nice people there in the wintermonths? You will have the odd hour in summer to meet them?
