The man who uses Tinder to travel Europe for free
It’s the dating app people use to find love, but one thrifty singleton is using Tinder to travel the world for free, swiping right to matches – and staying at their homes without paying a cent.
Belgian traveller Anthony Botta is shamelessly using the app to save him big bucks as he backpacks around Europe, admitting he’s a fan of the free accommodation with benefits scenario he’s set up.
“I [am] hosted only by ladies I matched on Tinder. Sometimes for the best, sometimes for the worst,” he previously told the Metro.
Anthony even has his own #TheZebottaLife, bragging about his carefree lifestyle as he’s hit up eight countries and 20 different cities on his travels.
Staying with at least 21 women over his journey so far, Anthony admits he’s not that particular when it comes to setting up a place to stay.
“The ladies, at the end, just need to host me,” he told the Metro.
“They don’t need to be like supermodels, but a couple of times I couldn’t find a host, so I just thought I’ll match everyone.”
However, his approach to women can be pretty harsh sometimes, our guess is he’s playing at the good old ‘treat em mean, keep em keen’ act.
Yet some people have taken it to heart and labelled the traveller a “w**ker” and “savage” for his attitude towards women.
“Don’t judge other women’s apartment who open their home to you, when you are the random, loser, a stranger off the internet who can’t afford $20 for a f**king hostel,” slammed one Instagram user.
