If you’re a single Kiwi looking for love, it pays to like travel — or at least look like you do — according to a recent Jetstar survey.
The study found one in two single Kiwis was more likely to “swipe right” on a dating profile if it looked like the person was into travel.
However, just make sure your profile photo isn’t you on a fishing trip, because 35 per cent said they’d “instantly reject” a profile with this picture. Instead, opt for a photo of you enjoying local cuisine, relaxing on the beach or drinking coffee at a cafe.
The survey, conducted for Jetstar by Pureprofile, surveyed 500 Kiwis aged 18 or older who were single or open to dating, between February and March this year.
