Hi everyone! I’m heading to Peru solo to hike around the Machu Picchu area. I’ll be in the country for 20 days between May and September. If anyone’s up for hiking and doesn’t want to be alone, count me in! I’m 30 😊 Thanks all!

Hello,

I’m looking for a female travel companion (around 45 to 65 years old) for a 15- to 20-day trip to Guatemala and maybe a few days in Belize. I plan to use the services of the Evaneos agency for booking accommodations, but otherwise, I’ll be traveling backpacker-style with public transportation. I’m open to discussion! Thanks, Chantal

Hello everyone,

Let me introduce myself—I’m Nicolas, a photographer and landscape photography enthusiast. I’m currently planning a trip to explore the Tadrart Rouge region in Algeria between November 18 and 30, 2026. I already have a specialized guide who knows the area inside out, a planned itinerary, and a set price, and I think the trip could be even more amazing if shared with someone.

If the project resonates with you, I’d be happy to chat more about it. To learn a bit more about me: My Instagram: @Checkmydream My website: www.checkmydream.fr Looking forward to exchanging ideas and maybe traveling together! Nicolas

Hello, I’d love to explore Kenya for a week/8 days in early December by 4x4, with or without a driver-guide.

Optional day trip to Nairobi. Ideally looking for a couple in their 40s or 50s. Arnaud

Hi there! I’m planning a trip to Brazil at the end of the year. I’ll arrive in São Paulo, but I don’t have a precise itinerary yet. I’ve already visited Iguazu from the Paraguayan side. Looking at a trip of at least 3 weeks, maybe even longer.

Hi, I’d like to go on a trip of about 14 days to Ladakh, with Dharamsala or Nepal as possible alternatives. One of my goals is to authentically explore Tibetan Buddhism: understand its principles, attend one or a few teachings, visit monasteries, and if possible, meet a monk or teacher. I’d like to dedicate a significant part of the trip to discovering local life: villages, families, cuisine, culture, nature, and interacting with the locals. Is anyone planning a similar trip in the near future? I’m looking for someone who could join me. Whether we meet there or travel together from France. Thanks a lot.

Hello, Don’t stay in the cold and damp! I’m looking for one or more people (men or women, travel companions) to spend a few weeks in South India and Sri Lanka from late January to early March.

Who am I? A 61-year-old solo adventurer looking for travel companions!

INDIA, NEPAL, SRI LANKA (entire 4- to 6-month trip). Flexible on dates! ... Spending winter 2026 in the sun.

While I love the freedom of independent travel, I find that a beautiful landscape or a good meal is even better when shared! So I’m looking to travel with others, whether for the entire trip or just a few stages or stretches of the journey, depending on our affinities and preferences. The important thing is to share unforgettable moments with joy and simplicity. My travel style, Mode: Backpack, local transport, ashrams, monasteries, cozy small guesthouses, or authentic local accommodations. Pace: Curious about everything! A good balance between cultural discoveries, nature walks/hikes, local immersion, and relaxation. Spiritual vibe: Good humor, adaptability, and respect for everyone’s independence. Does this resonate with you? Send me a private message so we can chat over coffee (or a video call)! See you soon - Éve

Looking for female travel companions (ideally 4) Departure mid-February for 4 to 6 weeks, flight to Delhi, domestic flight to Bangalore, stay in Auroville. Then off to Udaipur, Agra. Stay in Rishikesh, visit Haridwar. Visit Amritsar, Dharamshala. Return to Delhi. The itinerary can be adjusted based on the travel companions. Backpacking trip preferred, mid-range budget. Friendly and cheerful vibes! !

hi everyone, I’m planning a two-month trip to China in early 2027 and already have a pretty detailed itinerary I’ve put together through my research. Of course, it can be adjusted based on interests and encounters, but the main outline is set.

I love beautiful landscapes, lively cities, meeting people, local culture, and places a little off the beaten path. I’m pretty adaptable—I enjoy comfort but can also stay in simpler accommodations if the experience is worth it.

I’m looking for one or more curious, open-minded people who’d like to share all or part of this trip, in good spirits and at everyone’s own pace. The idea isn’t to do everything together at all costs, but to share discoveries, journeys, visits, and great memories.

If this sounds like you, feel free to message me! Looking forward to chatting and, who knows, setting off on an adventure together! 😊

After several years of traveling in former French West Africa (impossible today!), with a Patrol, then a Dacia Duster, and now testing a Ford Maverick 4x4 2.7 TDI in preparation, we’d like to form a small group for a trip in 2027 (around late March? To be decided with those interested).

Interested in: - Eastern Morocco? Then Merzouga / Foum Zguid / Moroccan coast and Western Sahara, - Mauritania: Nouadhibou, Choum, Atar, Tidjikja, Tichitt, and surrounding areas, then possibly heading down to the Senegalese border to see if we can go further.

We’re a retired couple, both 69 years old, passionate about photography, wildlife, and archaeology. Feel free to reach out—suggestions are welcome!

Hello

My name is Marie, I’m 74 years old, and I live near Nice. I’ve got a pretty cheerful outlook—I love life! I’ve visited a few far-off countries, but these days I’d rather stay in Europe. I’m planning to visit Madrid from September 29th to October 14th and would love to share this trip with a woman around my age. See you soon

Hi everyone! We see some amazing plans and also posts that go unanswered despite being for pretty popular destinations. We want to liven things up to help you travel more often with companions and in complete safety. Let us know what’s missing for you!

What’s your main hurdle when it comes to using this section?

Fear of not sharing the same interests as the other person. Difficulty managing money and bookings as a group. Lack of seriousness (people who don’t respond or back out). Time spent organizing the itinerary from A to Z.

What would help you the most to take the plunge?

A system of "verified" profiles (identity/trust).[/li> Pre-built itineraries by the forum where you just need to join in.[/li>

For February 2027, Since it's so much better to travel as a pair, I'm looking for a friendly female travel buddy to visit Laos, with a stop in northern Thailand first to explore the Chiang Mai region before heading to Laos. I travel backpacker-style but with comfort—staying with locals or in small hotels with private bathrooms, using the country's trains and buses. I'm easygoing, love joking around and laughing, and I'm experienced with independent travel. To avoid flight surprises, it'd be best to book them 6 to 8 months in advance. If you're interested, get in touch!

hello flight already booked, I’ll be in Canada from Sept 19 (Montreal) to Oct 3 (Quebec City) from Sept 21 to Oct 2 in particular, I’m thinking of doing a loop around the region starting from Quebec City—if you’re around, hit me up!

Anyone riding a motorcycle to Ukraine this summer 2026? Don’t feel like doing the 2,100 km alone this time 😅

hi I just booked tickets for September–October 2026 (3 weeks) in Uzbekistan—a country I haven’t visited yet. I’d love to find someone to join me for a few days of hiking in the mountains, but without going through a tour operator or hiring a guide. If anyone’s interested or has already done this, I’d love to hear all your tips. thanks

I’m 72 years old but in great shape and a seasoned long-term traveler. I’m looking for a travel companion to join me in Armenia this coming September (I’ll be booking my flight ticket soon—I live in Auvergne, so I’ll be flying out of Lyon). Just so you know, I’m not after luxury hotels, guest houses, or Airbnbs—I love street food and get around by bus or taxi using local apps! ... Looking forward to hearing from you! :-))

Hello,

I’ll be in Mexico from October 10th to 30th, 2026, and I’d love to share part of the journey with someone. I plan to spend a few days in Mexico City, then head to Puebla, Oaxaca, Puerto Escondido, and after that, I haven’t decided yet. I’m 63 but still young at heart and in spirit, so don’t let my age stop you from reaching out if you’re interested. I’ll be traveling on a small budget and using local buses. I speak Spanish more or less fluently, along with English, German, and Dutch, so communication won’t be an issue. Feel free to send me a private message if you’d like to chat about it.

See you soon!

Hi everyone. Who's up for hiking the Ubaye loop via the GR 56 and variants, staying in mountain huts in late August/early September? Looking forward to hearing from you! Zoé

Hello, 67 years old, been hiking for a long time, staying in mountain huts during the season and trekking in Nepal for a few years now (three treks with 2/3 people: Mustang, Gokyo Lakes, Kanchenjunga South BC, and two solo treks: Langtang-Gosaikunda in 2025 and Makalu BC in 2026). I’d like to share another project like Lower Dolpo, Kanchenjunga North and South BC loop, or Manaslu Circuit. Open to other destinations but would prefer to avoid overly touristy areas. Looking for a woman or man for a trek (+ guide and one porter), all organized through a local agency in Kathmandu (I know several). Possible periods: November 2026 or April 2027. Have a great day!

Hello! With the summer sun, what could be better than a holiday combining naturism, cool sports activities, culture, music, heritage, hiking, and an apéro 😉 I’m on holiday from August 23rd to September 13th and I’m looking for naturists—or non-naturists—to join me in naturist resorts to experience daily nudity, between relaxation, swimming, activities, and discoveries. Duration, locations, visits, and activities… all to be decided together to co-create this holiday project. The mindset is clear: energy, culture, sharing, respect, and curiosity about the world. Chill vibes.

The word *naturism* is to be taken in its original sense. This is a FRIENDLY endeavor: any notions of exhibitionism, voyeurism, swinging, or disrespect (for dunes, people) are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Link to the French Naturist Federation: https://ffn-naturisme.com/ We can discuss this via messaging and/or over a coffee/ice cream in Paris, Marne-la-Vallée, or Meaux. Naturally, Marc, 🙂 (already 54 years old! *sigh*. From Seine-et-Marne)

I'm heading out with friends for a week in the Queyras to hike in this beautiful region, staying at accommodation in Molines-en-Queyras near Saint-Véran, from Wednesday the 19th to Wednesday the 26th of August.

It's accommodation where we can really relax, have breakfast, prepare picnics, and go on day hikes. Some of the Queyras' most famous hikes are less than an hour's drive away. In the evenings, we'll either eat out or cook at the apartment! Right now, there are 8 of us, and since there are 11 beds, 3 more people can still join the group. If you have any questions, don't hesitate! Approximate budget if we're 10 people: 175 € for accommodation + 150 € for restaurants + 55 € for miscellaneous (including shuttles or paid parking) – so a week of hiking at a reasonable price! Indicative hiking program:

After the hikes and depending on the time, we can explore the region a bit... Wednesday 2 PM: Cascade de l'Oule from Le Laus – 7.9 km and 710 m elevation gain Thursday: Sommet Bucher and Col des Prés Fromage – 11.9 to 15.5 km and 700 to 830 m elevation gain, depending on how we're feeling and the weather Friday: Tour de la Tête des Toillies – 14.5 km and 1,015 m elevation gain Saturday: Col Agnel and Lacs d'Asti, Foreant, and Égorgeou – 17.1 km and 980 m elevation gain Sunday: Lacs du Malrif – 12 km and 960 m elevation gain Monday: Col de Neal and Col du Lauzon – 16 km and 950 m elevation gain Tuesday: Lac de Lestio – 17.7 km and 870 m elevation gain

Wednesday: Lac de Roue – 4.5 km and 175 m elevation gain for the return trip
