One night, we hopped on an overnight train from Krakow, Poland, to Bratislava, Slovakia. “When I was 19 I was InterRailing in Europe with a friend. Kat S., USA AWA Founder One With The Overnight Train We lived there another year and a half and never quite lived that one down.” So while we thought we were having an innocent conversation about eating food, what the town heard was, " I LOVE hooking up" and " I hook up multiple times at parties" and " No, we're not picky but will take whatever looks delicious."

We love eating!" Then she asked, " Les gusta comer en fiestas?" She continued to talk about the party and what we liked to do at parties, asking if we liked to dance, drink, etc. We weren't on the prowl but parties are fun so we said ok. She invited us to a party where she was clear on saying a lot of cute boys would be at. We didn't know her super well but enough to stop and chat.
