To flirt or not to flirt: this is what you need to know per holiday country

If your eyes get stuck on a beautiful sight while on vacation, it always promises just a little bit more than at home. Flirting is even the number one national sport in some countries, but be careful: you can also really mess it up. In these countries, you often flirt, a lot and extensively, but in these countries, you might as well leave it.

1. Yes yes yes, Latin America
Did you know that Colombians fall in love most often while on vacation? But the surrounding sisters can also do their part. In Buenos Aires, you have the best chance of advances, so you know where to be if you're in the mood for some amore amore.

2. A no go in Sri Lanka
As one of the most popular countries in the world to travel through with your backpack, this is quite a surprise. But keep your flirting mainly to other backpackers, as flirting is not appreciated among the locals. They even find it somewhat indecent, well, then you know.

3. The biggest flirts of Europe
Do you want to flirt a lot but don't feel like traveling to the other side of the globe? κανένα πρόβλημα, the Greeks say. In Greece, you can go for some serious flirting. Besides the fact that they are crazy about football, flirting is absolutely the number one national sport among the Greeks. By the way, chatting about others comes in second, they also love to do that.

4. Sad news for those staying home
Honestly: when was the last time you were approached in a charming (!) way? Subtle flirting happens very little in our country. So if you're in the mood for some cozy flirting, don't look around your home. The funny thing is that one in three Dutch people has fallen in love while on vacation, so that's not the issue.

5. Yes yes yes in China
Quest pointed us to a very specific flirting region, namely Guizhou in China. Apparently, the biggest flirts in the world live here, judging by the situation. Women flirt until a potential first child, men until the kids themselves start flirting in their teenage years.

6. No, no and no again
Where should you better leave it? Saudi Arabia, because you could even end up in jail for it (true story). Furthermore, Australians, Canadians, and Finns are also not really into flirting on vacation, although I know from reliable sources that those Australian surfers in Bali are a category of their own.

And for now, I wish you a nice vacation with either a lot or just a little flirting, but whatever you do, choose your destination carefully.
