I would have totally went on my trip with stars in my eyes, thinking every dude really did want to show me around, not knowing the ulterior motives that lay beneath. (Planning on doing the solo trip thing this December, just waiting until this new job pans out before I book the ticket. I'm in the midst of drug testing, background check, etc.)

But don't get me wrong, I'm also not going to let these preconceived notions hinder me from meeting great people, I'm just going to be AWARE of my surroundings and the people I choose to mingle with.
