How to Tinder the World when Traveling

September 26, 2016

When it comes to; How to Tinder the world, you are on the right spot. I have Tinder the world in Asia, South America, North America and Europe; Tinder the world is a great thing to do when traveling. If you like to get to know new people and enjoy some adventures. Then you should definitely Tinder the World while you are traveling it is an opportunity not to be missed. Sometimes very fun, sometimes not so fun. Sometimes you end up in a Pool Party with 300 Argentinians and 2 freezer fulled with ice for Fernet and Coca Cola.

 

How to Tinder the World when Traveling

Be Single, Open Minded and be a Traveler

When on Tinder be open and honest about being a traveler. Be honest about your expectations and that you wold like to meet up with cool people to see the city, explore the local areas and enjoy the moment. If it turns out that it is Prince Charming, well good for you. If not just enjoy the cool experience of seeing something that you would never see if you didn’t meet up with this person.

 

Be Smart and Excited

Always meet up in the city in bars or parks or something fun and something public. A place where you can always leave, if you feel uncomfortable. Always enjoy the experience of meeting someone new. It is very exciting to get to know another person in your life and from another country. Have some patience to listen to their stories and understand them, before you completely judge them and say: Wow, we are completely different persons, chao!

 

 

Enjoy the Experience or Go Home

If you are going to Tinder the World, you should enjoy it. If not – Just not do it. It´s okay, it´s not for everyone. I totally understand that. Sometimes it can be awkward, most of the time fun. Don´t be so serious about it.

 

 

 

 

My experience on Tinder the World

Tinder the World in New Zealand

In New Zealand, I went on Tinder with this really nice guy from the U.K. that was in New Zealand with Work and Holiday. I had one evening left in Queenstown before going further one my trip, we enjoyed the night partying away in Queenstown. So much fun and great to meet up with another traveler that was enjoying the same value of traveling and exploring.

 

 

Tinder the World in Thailand

In Thailand, there was so much going on in Tinder, it was literally: Tinder the World. Because Thailand is Backpacking nr.1 in the world. It was lot if nationalities and all sorts of people to Tinder. On my first night in Koh Tao, I was on my way to a Tinder date, I was distracted went and had pizza with this random guy in the street. Interesting person, but my weirdest conversation ever over pizza. It was an Interesting experience for sure, no time to stick around.

Anyway in Thailand it was more about showing my other friend how to Tinder the World. My Argentinean friend that I did meet in Thailand, is very grateful for teaching him how to “shop” for girls and in my terms Tinder the world. We had so much fun with how to Tinder the world in Thailand.

 

 

Tinder the World in Argentina

In need for practicing Spanish and get into the culture, I decided that tinder would give opportunities for this. I hit tinder in Buenos Aires, was practicing a lot on my Spanish. In very basic manner. Still practicing!

My first tinder dater was in a Scandinavian restaurant in Buenos Aires – Yes, so much for that culture!  It was very nice, a real Argentinean man with a nice groomed beard and a poppy shirt talking to me the Norwegian girl. Hello Tindering Argentina!!

We actually had a lot of fun dates. One where I was in top of handlebars at the bike, relaxing while he was biking down Avenida Corrientes and inside Bosques de Palermo. We had wonderful sightings and loads of fun not getting our-self into danger in our biking tour. In the end we did go to really nice local parilla and he gave the introduction for the Argentinean meat, which I now love.

When being Single, there is always the opportunity to explore more. That I did. On my other Tinder date in Buenos Aires, I was invited to a crazy Argentinean pool party with 300 Portenos and my other gringo friends.

The party was on another level. I have never seen so much ice, fernet and cola in one place. Awesome party, not so awesome Tinder date. Or he was cool and probably loved having some international people on his party, we didn’t end up kissing that night or ever. He was busy hosting the party and it was an amazing opportunity. He was just not that into me, that´s fine neither was I.

 

Romantic Moment in Old School Style

It was 07.00 in the morning, it was time for the gringos to go home from the crazy pool party and say goodbye to the Tinder date. And 07.00 in the morning in Argentina is to early for anyone to leave a party.

Anyway we went on the train, even do it was dangerous “late in the night”. There it was three tired people sitting on the train and almost falling a sleep. Then it was me, a bit drunk and a bit curious about this guy sitting next with us on the train. A cute smile, very charming and even with a guitar. He is looking at me. He is very handsome.

It was time to make a move, I went over and asked where is the Palermo station (where we went on when we went to San Miguel;)) he explained in perfect Castellano the direction. And of course I only understood a 1/3 of the words he said. Who cares! He had georgeous brown eyes and he was smiling of my bad jokes about his name being a famous singer.

We went on looking at each others eyes and smiled. Then we arrived to Palermo station. We where getting out of the train, so was he. We decided to go and have pizza together. We couldn’t let go. We needed more time. There we where: me the handsome guy and my three friends eating pizza at 08.00 in the morning. Celebrating another crazy night in Argentina and the beginning of a new adventure with mr. handsome.

Tinder the World in Mexico

I loved continuing practice my Spanish by tinder when traveling the world. Why not invite myself on the the town with this Colombian guy living in Playa del Carmen for a night of party? We went out and meet up. He really could not speak any English. It was funny and a challenge. We had a great night partying with his friends in Playa! The Mexican girl was knowing her value in playa and did get us all in at the great clubs. I did drink alcohol, but only soft alcohol. I never get drunk when being alone traveling. I cant be careless enough to put myself in that kind of danger.

Last Word on how to Tinder the World

When it comes to tinder the world, have fun! If you are traveling explore the world & explore the people – sometimes you can do that with Tinder. I like Tinder in the way it gives you a chance for giving you the local experience. Of course you can use Couch Surfing for this as well, but I just find Tinder convenient and faster.

Some of the people I have been meeting on Tinder are travelers and it is just fun to catch up with like minded persons. Sometimes it´s not a match, sometimes you have special moment with someone. Sometimes you end up having a friend from another side of the world and another culture.

And maybe one day you will be lucky to find love. Will it be from Tinder or Life itself, who knows? Enjoy the moment, Tinder the world and meet up with some interesting people.

Be safe!

If you don’t like what´s happening. Speak up or just remove yourself from the situation as fast as you can. It is better to be safe then sorry.

Hehe Takk Renate! 🙂 Jeg har hatt mange fine møter med tinder 🙂 Noen mer spennende enn andre 🙂 Og noen ganger fått sett noe jeg aldri ville ha sett om det ikke var for at jeg møtte den personen. Da jeg som ikke lokale ville aldri ha funnet frem til en slik plass.

    A Norwegian Travel Voice & Trying to Impact the World by Nudging People to Choose More Sustainable Travel.

    I’m shaped by nature. I grew up at the edge of th I’m shaped by nature.

I grew up at the edge of the Stadt peninsula — where the ocean doesn’t negotiate and the wind decides your plans. You learn early to read the sky. To sense the shift before the squall rolls in. To move before the door is pushed open.

The weather isn’t small talk at the coast.
It’s strategy.
It’s timing.
It’s survival.

And the women knew it best.

While the men were at sea, coastal women held everything together — land, livestock, homes, children, community. They didn’t call it resilience. They simply lived it.

They understood something very important that we need to remember well. 

You don’t dominate nature.
You collaborate with it.

Today I live in the Lofoten Islands, again surrounded by strong coastal women. Different generation. Same backbone.

To adapt when conditions shift.
To build with the landscape, not against it.
To know when to move — and when to stand firm.

To me, that is a coastal inheritance. 

The coast teaches you self-efficacy. Patience. Awareness. Respect.

It shapes women who know that sustainability isn’t about control — it’s about relationship.

And that’s the spirit I carry into my work, my travels, and the future I’m building.

Thank you @dino.serrao for capturing my coastal spirit in this portrait.
    2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times wi 2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times with family and friends! It went so fast! Many highlights this year! And many great hikes even in Lofoten and Sunnmøre! 

2025, I have used less time on my phone more flight mode, more with just being. It will continue onward for 2026. I’m still traveling and doing many mini adventures. Mostly being with loved ones. 

In April we were in Cuba, which always disconnect but reconnect you much better with what matters and the importance of being grateful and appreciating what you have in Life. When we travel, how can we travel well, how do we show up at a destination. 

My last international travel this year was Lanzarote, famous for its landscape and architecture. Best of all traveling with my sister. We used public buses, eat at different local places and guided tour to the national park. What an island! 

I think one word that has been important this year for me is mindful. Be aware, be curious, ask open questions, reflect more before speaking and listen. 

Being in nature is the best gift for human nature. We must visit more often. We must focus on our sleep quality. 

I think 2025 have been a year of flowing and protecting my energy on what sparks joy to me. The most limited resource we have is time. How can we live the most happy with the time we have. How can we use our time and energy well. 

2025 I’m very grateful for the year it was a blessing filled with love laughters, friendship and some important life reflections and some new changes. 

2026, welcome let’s embrace and see where the wind takes us this year! 

Wishing you all the very best new year filled with abundance, hope and peace. May the year be as good as you want it to be! Or even better as magical as you want ✨🤩
    October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The start of the month was breathtaking in Lofoten. We welcomed German travel experts for a MEGAFAM trip in the Lofoten Islands and had a blast connecting with new faces and industry colleagues. Truly amazing!!🤩 #lofoten #lofotenislands #megafam #lofoteninfo #visitnorway
    Greece is always a good plan! This time we went is Greece is always a good plan! This time we went island jumping to Skiathos and Skopelos. You know the Mamma Mia Islands 🌞 Also Athens, but next post. I think Skopelos has the clearest water I have seen in Europe. So stunning so pure, wow! So green the Island. Could have been away longer as always, but now living slow cabin life before hitting back North. #islandescape #greece #visitgreece #skiathos #skopelos #islandsofadventure
