I once met three Aussie guys while on a flight to Ibiza. Personally, I couldn’t date a guy uninterested in travel, so I can vouch to say that for other female travelers, you’re already doing better than most guys. If you have the confidence (and decency) to start a conversation with a gal while you are sober and functioning, AND you're putting forth an effort to hang out with her more than just that night, you’re five steps ahead of fellow travelers and locals. Between those and “where are you from” or “wait, can you say your name again, I’ve never heard that”, you've got enough ammo.
