Travel has become much more than a bucket-list item. A conversation about someone's favourite trip often leads to stories about family traditions, local food, cultural experiences and moments that shaped who they are

Remember when a "good match" meant someone who lived in your neighbourhood, went to your college, spoke your language or at least got your local references? That's changing. Young Indians are increasingly looking beyond familiar cities, cultures and borders when it comes to meeting new people. They're not shying away from love, they're redefining it on their own terms, embracing new perspectives and owning their story.
Travel is becoming a big part of that story. Ranking third among the top interests on Tinder in India amongst users aged 18 to 25, it's more than just a hobby, it's a way for young Indian singles to help them express themselves, spark conversations and discover compatibility, one travel story at a time.
