My Travel Story

Digitization has broken down many barriers. The same applies to getting to know other singles who are not necessarily in the same neighborhood. Not even in the same city or even in their own country. By opting for online dating and registering on a website, users have doors open to them that were closed and sealed years ago.
With luck, you've met someone on vacation who is on the same wavelength. In the course of the spread of online dating, however, not only singles exchanges have opened up, but singles (including those who have been forgiven) can fish at will in a large pond of partner seekers. Another option is the partner exchanges, which, after registration, almost take over most of the work in the search for a partner.
In the course of registering on a partner exchange, a personality test is run through, which is then analyzed. On the basis of this, the platform creates a dating profile, which subsequently forms the basis for matching singles. But not only that, because a scientifically created algorithm is used to search for the profiles that best match that of a single. The result is displayed as a match, where a points grid even indicates how high the matches and thus the chances of success are for contact on the partner exchange. But is this approach also advisable when it comes to finding a single abroad? This is exactly the question we have addressed and have found points that speak in favor of it in the following.
1. Finding a real counterpart would be a good solution
Do you think you are alone with your values for a partnership? But only they think that and will be surprised how large the selection of dating proposals is in the end. There are reputable dating agencies on the Internet that pay attention to the smallest details when analyzing the personality test, which then form the basis for the proposals. So, it makes perfect sense to sign up on these dating platforms and look beyond the domestic horizon. Just because there may not be someone in the neighborhood with the same ideas, it does not mean that there could not be the right counterpart abroad. You will then be shown not only one matching profile but directly a whole handful or even more. The ones that have the most scores in the match you should definitely keep warm. This way you not only have the certainty that you are not alone with your attitude but also directly more than just a single, with whom you can meet during your stay abroad.
2. What you should keep in mind during your trip
Online dating does break all the boundaries that are present with searching in everyday life. However, there are certain aspects that you should keep in mind when meeting someone on a dating platform and embarking on your journey.
Try to maintain contact on a continuous basis. Write before you get on the plane and right after you land abroad. Unfortunately, many singles get cold feet on the last meter and stop responding to messages. By keeping up a lasting correspondence, you can prevent this and be sure that you will be expected when you arrive.
Alternatively, find a place to stay and don't rely too much on your counterpart. Maybe the chemistry isn't quite right at a real meeting after all and you end up or overnight accommodation in a foreign country. Most hotels can be canceled for a short period of time, should the meeting go exactly according to your expectations after all and you thus have accommodation for your stay.
Do you know someone who lives in the country? An extra contact with an acquaintance can also give you a wonderful stay if the date was a disaster or did not materialize.
To make sure that the trip is not completely for naught in the worst-case scenario, you should look for places to visit in advance. This way you can still make the most of the trip and get to know a different culture and customs. The advantage is that you may be able to directly meet several singles in the region through the matchmaking of the dating agency.
3. You get individual tours
When it comes to getting to know a single person abroad, you can never talk about a package tour. It is an individual trip that is virtually made just for you. Get to know each other better on the dating platform and plan trips that fulfill your individual wishes for a trip. While others travel to a faraway country to see the usual sights, you get a tour guide with your date at the same time who will cater to your personal demands when it comes to the day's itinerary or excursions. Let other tourists take a sightseeing tour while you are guided by a personal tour guide in a caring way. Through chat, your counterpart will know the things that might interest you during a stay and can plan an individual city tour with you.
There is absolutely nothing to stop you from looking around on dating agencies before your trip and making new contacts abroad. Thanks to the matchmaking function, contact is made with singles who are a perfect or almost perfect match for you. By getting to know each other in the chat, a lively exchange takes place, which is also about things that you would like to experience during your stay in a foreign city abroad. While tour guides only take a blanket approach, you get someone who responds to your individual ideas and with whom you can enjoy a wonderful time in a foreign country.
