Being in a foreign environment tends to provide travelers with a feeling of anonymity. It’s regarded as a space governed by different social rules, and people often engage in behavior that they normally wouldn’t allow of themselves while abroad. But we wanted to know just how naughty they would actually get—or at least, what they would cop up to.
From stealing food to skinny dipping, Hipmunk got the dirt (anonymously, of course) on just how badly travelers behave while en voyage. Scroll down after the infographic for even more naughty traveler behavior:
More Naughty Behavior:
Stealing Souvenirs
12% of travelers surveyed have swiped a towel or robe.
Supporting Stowaways
37% of travelers surveyed have snuck in an extra, unregistered guest into their rooms to stay the night.
Skirting (U.S.) Laws
Travelers take advantage of activities that are perfectly permitted in their host countries, but may put them in legal hot water in the U.S.
12% Doing drugs in countries in which they’re sanctioned
21% Driving faster than any US speed limit
23% Under-21 drinking
30% Eating non-FDA-approved foods, like certain French cheeses
Methodology:
Hipmunk surveyed nearly 1,000 travelers from from July 7 through August 6 2015 about their travel habits and behaviors.
