Are you a hottie? Travel the world for free
USA TODAY
Eros2810 is an attractive 39-year-old, 6-foot-tall entrepreneur with no kids, an annual income of over $1 million and a yen for exotic travel. His ideal travel companion: “a girl that likes to have a laugh, travel all over the world and fancy restaurant/bars (sic).”
Lemonhoney3 is a 22-year-old student nurse/bartender/model who wants to “have fun, laugh, love” and believes she deserves “to date someone who will pamper me, empower me, and help me mentally, emotionally and financially someone to travel with while being descrete (sic).”
He’s generous. She’s attractive. And their profiles are both on the new dating website MissTravel.com, so for all we know, Eros and Lemonhoney could be off to Rio by now.
MissTravel.com, which claims to be the “first online dating website to combine travel and romance,” is either a stroke of genius or really, really offensive, depending on your perspective.

Egypt expects to receive more than 12 million tourists by the end of 2012, a 23 percent rise over the previous year, the tourism minister said on Tuesday, adding that he did not expect the election of a new Islamist president to stifle the industry.
Egypt’s economy has been hit by a decline in tourist numbers and investors in the wake of the popular uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak 17 months ago.
Many in the tourism sector fear recovery would be slow if President Mohamed Mursi imposes Islamic strictures on the sector such as banning the skimpy swim wear and alcohol that are a normal part of a beach holiday for many foreign tourists.
