In short
Date Overnight's travel guides are for adults 18+ who want to meet someone while they're away: how to meet people in a city you don't know, what to sort before a first drink, how to keep a work trip and a date apart, and who runs the site. Start with the safety guide, then read whichever fits your trip.
Whatever kind of trip it is, start with what to sort before the first drink: a few minutes of planning makes the evening easier. If you're on your own in a city you don't know, how to meet people covers arranging ahead and where talking to strangers is normal. Travelling for work? Read dating on a business trip before you pack.

Questions people ask
Which guide should I read first?
Start with the travel safety checklist. It covers what a friend at home should know, choosing a first-meeting spot, your drink, your hotel and getting back. It takes a few minutes and applies to every kind of trip, so the other guides build on it.
Are these guides only for Date Overnight members?
No. They're free to read and most of the advice works however you meet someone while you're away, through a site, an event or a conversation at a bar. Where a guide describes how Date Overnight itself works, it says so.
Do the guides cover my country?
Reporting lines and emergency numbers focus on the countries where the network accepts members, including the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. For anywhere else, each guide points you to your own government's travel advice for local laws and numbers.
