The majority of South Korean travelers have fantasies about an unexpected romantic encounter with a stranger while traveling, a survey found on Monday.

Skyscanner, a flight information website, conducted a survey of 1,000 South Koreans aged 18 or over who have overseas travel experience. The survey found 61.4 percent of the respondents had thought about a possible romantic date with a stranger during their journey.

The most favored place to have such a moment was the beach at 48.2 percent.

In the survey, 12.9 percent of the respondents said they have had a date with a person they met for the first time while traveling. The percentage of men who’d had such an experience was twice that of females. 

“The notion of traveling holds the idea of escaping from daily routine and being alone, so people tend to fantasize about enjoying freedom and meeting new people,” said Kim Hyun-min, the manager of Skyscanner.
