White soft sand, coral-tinted waves and a green island, barely visible behind sunset hues; a girl on the road often finds herself living the dream with postcard perfect views. And while solo travel is a wonderful way to experience these romantic colors, the road is also a great resource to find love in some of the most heart-stopping, gorgeous places in the world.
Perhaps sharing a coconut with an almost stranger who shares your passion for travel sounds a bit too idyllic but truth is that the road brings together a myriad of personalities from around the world. The chances are high that you will run into someone who clicks with your own quirks and dreams. Here's a peek at some of the guys you will meet on the road.
