Culture Trip stands with Black Lives Matter. They fill up their social media pages and Tinder profiles with pictures of themselves painting orphanages, building low-cost houses or simply holding on to wide-eyed kids with captions that clarify just how much they love Africa. These Tinderers appear to spend more time with hydration packs strapped to their backs than in normal society, hence their need for the app in the first place.

Gallery images are filled with photos of epic hikes, muddy mountain bikes and recent angling achievements, and bios include breakdowns of personal bests and favourite running shoe brands. Casual mention of veganism usually appears on the top line. The cynic claims to be bored and disillusioned with the shallowness of the app, but uses it ferociously. This is also the person most likely to still be lurking around the app when you reinstall it after a three-year hiatus.

Pictures usually include at least one attempt to include all aspects of their shining personality, typically a selfie taken at a wine estate. The shameless Instagram Tinderer is on there only for the likes and affirmation. A close relative of the lonely expat, the lonely homecomer takes to Tinder immediately on return to Cape Town after some time abroad, primarily, it seems, in order to solve their existential crisis when they realise how little has changed since their last life-changing journey.

And then, the suspicions will be confirmed when you immediately swipe right with unrivalled enthusiasm, only to never see their perfectly lit face ever again. Select currency.
