BUMBLE SAYS “WANDERLOVE” IS SUMMER’S TOP DATING TREND

Summer is the time for vacation for a lot of people and while some are satisfied with a good book to read on the beach, it seems a lot of singles are looking for romance on their trip. Bumble reports seeing a boost in people’s hopes for finding a fling during their summer travels, a trend known as “wanderlove.”

It’s not a new term, but it’s making a comeback this summer, according to the dating app. Last month, Bumble surveyed around 56-hundred users around the world and found:

  • 53% are hoping for a romance while on vacation this summer.
  • The same amount admit they feel more attractive when they’re on vacation
  • 21% say they’re more attracted to people from different places.
  • Almost a third (30%) of Bumble users use dating apps to meet new people while traveling alone
  • And 52% say dating abroad is a fun way to learn about a different culture.

The top five destinations Bumble users are going to this summer are:

  1. Greek Islands (Santorini, Rhodes, Hydra)
  2. Balearic Islands, Spain (Mallorca, Ibiza, Formentera)
  3. Paris, France
  4. Amalfi Coast, Italy
  5. Lisbon, Portugal

  • This sounds like the stuff of a bad Hallmark movie!
  • Not judging, but hooking up with people all over the world shouldn't be a goal.
