Let's say you want to blackmail us. How much info do you guys have on your average Joe?

Regarding male/female ratio here is what OP said in previous thread:

Here are the top 5:

New Zealand (54% female)

Costa Rica (53% female)

Australia (53% female)

Fiji (51% female)

Greece (50% female)

If I had to summarize that, is seems like girls perhaps prefer nature destinations?

The rest of the countries have at least a slightly higher number of males than females (a lot of countries are in the 40-49% range). But I should explain that this data is based on bookings where they chose "male" or "female", but there's also a "mixed" option for bookings where the group is a mix of guys and girls. So the above ratio is actually a ratio of the girl-only bookings vs. guy-only bookings. So couples and mixed groups aren't included. I don't have the data on a city-level, but our data for France is that the bookings are actually about 40% female.

I was slightly scammed at a Paris hostel- they gave me uncleaned dirty sheets citing "broken washer" as a reason, and they crammed in 15 people into a room where there were supposed to be "only" 12 people. What can I do to protect myself from such minor issues?

I know hostel reviews can be unreliable. What are things to look for when I'm booking hostels online?

Hostels vs Airbnb - what are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

I can't list them all obviously. Send me a few relevant ones and I'll be able to rule them out.

I've only been there twice. Not really my type of city.
