I'm going to California for 2.5 weeks and I'll be in SF for 5 days and San Diego for about 2 weeks. I just got Tinder gold today to start matching with the girls, but I'm not sure of the approach. Should I mention in the bio that I'm a traveler, or should I keep it tacit until brought up? Also, usually I don't have success with f-close on the first date, but when I'm traveling, I need to make that happen.

Another problem is that, if it goes well, I'd have to be invited to HER place because I'd mostly be couchsurfing the entire time I'm there. On my regular dates, I find it difficult to invite myself over to the girls' place (literally can't even phrase it properly) so I invite them over to my house.

I can't hostel because I'm trying to save some bucks and crash at friend's places or couchsurf, so meeting girls otherwise may be a challenge, but share some tips/source that can help me.
