Is it June already?! Whoa, that came fast. Summer has officially started and singles are rolling out beach towels, grabbing their sun hats and lathering on the SPF for their upcoming travel destination.
At Plenty of Fish, we wanted to take a look at what dating on vacation really looks like, and whether singles are more open to meeting the love of their life while sipping on Mai Tais, and reading their favorite Grisham novel on the beach.
Here’s what we found…
70% of singles are more open to meeting new people while travelling or on vacation!
If you’re traveling solo this summer, break the ice with someone next to you on the plane, or train, and ask them where they’re heading on vacation, whether they’ve been there before, and what they’re most looking forward to seeing or doing.
When POF asked singles whether they’ve ever had a great conversation with a stranger on a plane, the majority of singles (52%) said, YES!

Vacationing is not only great for a little r&r from work; there are endless opportunities to explore a new culture, cuisine and meet new people along the way.
