Where to find your Valentine

Wednesday, 11 Feb, 2010 0

LONDON – Those facing a lonely Valentine’s Day may do well to visit a country where the chances of finding other singles are highest. 



Flight comparison site Skyscanner (www.Skyscanner.net) has listed the top ten most unmarried populations in the world; places where holy matrimony is low priority and love is free. Maybe.



Latin America seems like the place to find love with six of the top ten most unmarried people in Central and South America.

With hot weather, hot dancing and hot people, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Argentina and Panama are perfect for romance hunters.



Only two European countries made the love list: Slovenia, whose tourist board aptly runs the slogan ‘I feel sLOVEnia’, and the tiny Pyrenean principality of Andorra which is already a popular winter sports destination with a lively après ski scene.

The United Arab Emirates makes the top ten although Skyscanner warns ”you better be careful when looking for love” in this destination.

“Sex outside of marriage is illegal in the UAE and several love struck couples have found themselves on the wrong side of prison cell bars after getting caught in the act.

“Saying that, there is a thriving singles scene in places like Dubai,” says Skyscanner.
