Mumbai : Tinder, the world’s most popular app for meeting new people just announced its summer plans. Tinder is offering its top users with the best profiles the chance of an all expenses paid yacht trip sailing the Italian coastline.

 Selected users will be flown into Rome, board their own private yacht and sail along the Amalfi coastline. The sailing route includes Positano, Fiordo di Furore, Nerano, Capri, Ravello and Sorrento, with a private chef and crew. The experience will give them the opportunity to also discover local people, places and cultures at every port.

 Tinder at its core is a social discovery platform, and the people you meet can change your life. Facilitated by the Tinder community, local hosts in Italy will help discover local experiences. Think the opportunity to participate in local football matches, browsing the stores of Capri, a hiking experience with magnificent views of the Amalfi Coast, learning the basics of Italian cooking and horseback riding on a coastal pathway.

 But, what makes a good Tinder profile?

 A good Tinder profile should be genuine and really tell your story. This means no gym selfies, no sunglasses and saving the group photos for your holiday album instead. Profile images should show your entire face (preferably smiling) and weave a good story about your interests, passions and hobbies. Tinder’s own research has shown that a smile in your profile picture increases right swipes by 14%, while hats or sunglasses or anything else that hides the face decreases chances of a Right Swipe by 12%.

Tinder bios are important, and sharing nuggets of likes and dislikes can also help spark interest from potential matches and provide some great conversation starters after you’ve matched.  (PS: Wanderlust is one of the top most mentioned terms in Tinder bios). And, if words aren’t your thing, link your Spotify and use your Anthem to stand out instead.
