Hostelworld.com’s Top Five Anti-Valentine’s Day Hotspots: Where the single mingle
If you don’t have someone to buy overpriced roses for this Valentine’s Day, don’t worry. Not everyone will be spending February 14 with the love of their lives. Millions of people across the world live alone, creating plenty of opportunity for singles on the prowl. To help the singles mingle this Valentine’s Day, forget Paris, Hostelworld.com (www.hostelworld.com) recommends the best places around the world where you just might meet your soul mate!
Munich
With a population of 1.35 million, over 6,000 licensed establishments and the male population 3% higher than their female counterparts this is the place to go to find the man of your dreams. The Munich beer halls, with their long communal tables and white frothy beers served in glasses larger than your head are a great way to meet people!
Hostelworld.com recommends: Wombats City Hostel
Rates from €12.00 per night
Sydney
Sydney is arguably one of the most popular destinations in the southern hemisphere with backpackers – everyone looks beautiful as they lie bronzed on the beach! As the most populous city in Australia Sydney is a hotbed of bars, nightclubs and of course beaches; making it every singletons paradise to go on the look out for that special someone!
Hostelworld.com recommends: Railway Square YHA
Rates from €20.00 per night
Stockholm
As the female is the dominant sex here, outdoing men by 2%, this is certainly the spot for testosterone-filled males. You might not pluck up the courage to speak to one of the thousands of beautiful inhabitants in the Swedish capital but you can always dream!
Hostelworld.com recommends: City BackPackers Hostel

Barcelona
