Dominican Republic. One in four of the guys is incredibly hot and they are very sweet and friendly. Unlike the aggressive and unpleasant catcalling I have endured elsewhere, in DR they genuinely wanted to engage you in conversation and so it felt fun and funny rather than intimidating and sad.

The first time was at a coffee shop in the Old Jaffa port of Israel. There is a deaf-and-blind theater company…

Israel, more specifically Tel Aviv. The men are beautiful, most people are social and fun, they all speak English, and Israelis don't tend to settle down until a bit later than Americans usually do. I met two guys through hostel stays, one on the beach, and a few more at bars. It was almost enough to make me want to… Read more

Here’s something engaged couples didn’t have to deal with up until fairly recently: individualized wedding websites.
Never had as much luck anywhere and with such high quality as New Zealand. Whether it's the Kiwi blokes themselves or the free-spirited travelers who are passing through, the pool is surprisingly deep for such a small country. My experience there ran the gamut from casual hookup to semi-serious relationship before I… Read more

Very mixed results in Istanbul and surrounding cities. Lot's of creeps. Lot's of bye Felipe types on dating apps. Lot's of guys who think you'll do anything just because you're foreign. But, also some polite and sweet young gentlemen. MOSTLY RIDICULOUSLY GOOD LOOKING. Read more
The Mediterranean is pretty good for this. Whether you go to Greece, Italy or one of the Balear Islands (Mallorca, especially), there are always plenty of hot dudes interested in horny tourist ladies. Paris is great for flirting as well, but, surprisingly enough, the place where I got hit on the most was London. All I… Read more
I can't speak highly enough of Ireland. Lots of visitors, everyone is in a good mood, and drinking in the afternoon is a national pastime. I've never been hit on or been bought so many drinks in my life. And let me be the first to point out this was not a time in my life where I was particularly well dressed or… Read more

It doesn't matter where you go. Because there will be Australians there. Find the Australians. Read more
LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. There wasn't one country I visited where I didn't hook up with someone. But in seriousness, had great success at pubs in Ireland and Scotland, especially in small towns. Read more

Big fan of Tinderin' all over the world while traveling solo. I've found it's a great way to find someone to get a quick drink or just ask "what's going on tonight" and get good tips from a local. That said, I have had some good, fun Tinder dates in Europe (American who lives in Dubai). Best? Amsterdam. Met a really… Read more
Quito, Ecuador! The men are beautiful, flirtatious, and love to dance. I'd encourage finding cool locals, but the Mariscal District in Quito is a good combo of tourists and locals with lots of dancing and cheap drinks! Plus they use the dollar so its cheap(er) and easy traveling from the US. Read more

When I went to Poland (Krakow specifically) the guys seemed pretty sweet, which jives with all the other Polish dudes I've met at home as well. My best friend's husband is from a Gdansk and he's so nice!
Didn't get the best vibe off of Czech guys. Read more
London's easy for casual hook-ups, either by taking part in the nightlife or through apps like Tinder. The city's a lot harder for finding/building long(er)-term friendships let alone proper relationships, because sooner or later people move on. Read more
