international relation[ship]s

A few days ago I was chatting with one of my friend and he confessed that he felt bad about being single. Then I told him to go for an internship ("come to Morocco" I said :). It’s more likely to meet some cool person and it’s easier when you’re abroad. He agreed with me. And a lot of people shares the same notion.

So actually why is it easier? Because, you’re in a different country and culture where no one knows you and you can let yourself do more? Because you feel more free? Because you’re an expat who is more exotic or perceived as strong and independent person and thus more popular? Because you really want to have the time of your life and live it in all its aspects? Because living for a limited period of time abroad is not actually a real, normal and standard type of life? Because your life in different country is not conventional and sometimes seems like an unreal dream?

Any other ideas? Does someone know the answer?
