37. 10 Tips for How to Hook Up and Find Someone While on Vacation (Part 1)
On this week’s episode, Chatrice and Luis have the first part of a conversation around hooking up while on vacation. Our hosts reference John Chesler’s article of the Phoenix New Times, who wrote “10 Rules for Vacation Hookups. They walk through each of the 10 tips to answer questions about how to get laid on vacation, how do you stay safe with hooksups, and how to find someone on vacation. Have you ever hooked up while away from home and on vacation, Cuties? Since recording last time, Luis has been on a work retreat with lots of food and Chatrice has had back-to-back dates (kind of), hair done, and a slight miscommunication setting up a date.
