LECCE AND PUGLIA (Sept-Oct 2025)

Hello ! Pour les rares personnes qui ont voyagé en Iran, qui ont aimé ce pays et découvert ce beau pays millénaire et meconnu la gentillesse incroyable de sa population, un des seuls encore sauvegardé du tourisme de masse… J’aurais aimé y retourner, mais vu les événements ce n’est plus possible pour le moment et pour longtemps. En attendant, il y à un pays voisin l’Ouzbékistan mérite je pense mériterait le détour : ! Je l’ai découvert à travers des reportages photos et me rappelle pour beaucoup l’Iran. J’envisage donc d’aller y jeter un œil. À pied, à cheval, en voiture😁, pour le coup je choisi la voiture 🚗😅😉 Je cherche une coéquipière indépendante motivée pour découvrir ce pays qui paraît merveilleux. Qui est partante ? ✨

Looking for a travel partner to visit the Azores for 2 to 3 weeks starting around September 14th. Simple hotels or even better, staying with locals, and a rental car to get around freely. Sharing costs, of course. A few easy hikes. Itinerary to be decided together—plenty of room for spontaneity. Good vibes guaranteed!

Bonjour,

J'ai visité l'inde du sud. Prochaine étape l'inde du nord, pendant 2 mois, du Gujarat jusque Delhi en passant par le Madhya Pradesh, Kolkata, bengale, Bihar, Punjab et Rajasthan. Mon circuit est en cours de construction.

Qui veut m'accompagner dans ce petit périple ?

A bientôtBrigitte

I'm looking for 6 to 10 adult participants for a road trip starting from Cebu City or Mactan. The cost is 1,000 €, which includes van rental, hotel stays, and ferry transfers—all air-conditioned. Only meals and drinks are extra. This is a 14-day journey visiting more than 7 islands, including Bantayan Island and Boracay, to name a couple. It’s a great opportunity to explore a large part of the Visayas and make the most of your vacation—unlike many I’ve seen who didn’t. I’ve been married to a Cebuana for 15 years. We have two kids, one of whom was born in Cebu. We live in France and own a house in Cebu, which sits empty like many foreigners married to Filipinas. For those who want to do this tour with kids, I suggest finding the same number of adults so you don’t have to pay for their participation.

Best regards, and see you soon in Cebu.

Hi there, I’m looking for a travel companion (male or female) for a trip to Algeria, including a few days in Kabylie. Preferably someone of Algerian origin or nationality, aged between 50 and 60. It would be for about a week—we can decide on the dates together. Feel free to DM me.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Norma from Paris

Hello, I’m a 76-year-old "senior" who’s still active and full of energy. I ski, swim, hike, and keep traveling a lot, including to the other side of the world. My most recent trip: The Philippines (winter 2026). I’d love to gather a small group of friendly seniors to first plan some short trips in France together. If everything goes well, we could venture farther and for longer. What matters to me in a foreign country: a change of scenery, trying to understand the locals and their way of life, architectural heritage (cities in particular), and of course the beauty of natural sites. I’m not really into "road trips." I live in Paris and am available the second half of August and the first week of September (2026). Nothing’s set yet for 2027. Hope to meet you soon! Granviajera.

We’re currently three retirees (one man and a couple) looking for one or two people to join us on a road trip through Patagonia by car.

Starting from Concepción in Chile, we’ll head to San Carlos de Bariloche (a possible meet-up point) in Argentina to reach Cabo Vírgenes. Then we’ll return via Route 40, with detours on the Chilean side (Torres del Paine, Lake General Carrera, Coyhaique).

We’ll pass by the Perito Moreno Glacier, Laguna del Desierto, Perito Moreno Park at the foot of San Lorenzo, Jeinemeni Park, Los Alerces Park, and more. A few hikes are planned.

Dates: November 6 to December 15, from Concepción back to Concepción.

Feel free to get in touch! Marc

bonjour je cherche une compagne de voyages pour une semaine destination à définir .... Jallane

🚐 Recherche compagnon ou compagne de voyage pour une grande aventure! 🌎 Pour l'été :) J'ai envie de repartir à l'aventure comme je l'ai déjà fait dans le passé : prendre la route, traverser les États-Unis en voiture ou en caravane et vivre toutes sortes d'expériences mémorables. L'idée n'est pas de suivre un itinéraire rigide. On va là où l'envie nous mène! Découvrir de nouveaux endroits, rencontrer des gens, visiter des villes, des parcs nationaux, des coins insolites et profiter du moment présent. Pour l'hébergement, je suis ouverte à tout : • Couchsurfing (si ça existe encore!) • Tente • Truck stops • Airbnb • Petits motels • Ou toute autre option qui se présente sur la route J'ai plusieurs semaines, voire plusieurs mois devant moi. Aucune pression, aucun horaire chargé. On roule 8 à 10 heures si ça nous tente, on s'arrête quelques jours dans un endroit qu'on aime, puis on repart. Pourquoi ne pas pousser l'aventure jusqu'au Mexique? J'ai 40 ans, je suis une femme joyeuse, spontanée et facile à vivre. Je cherche quelqu'un qui aime l'aventure, qui est flexible, ouvert d'esprit et qui a envie de profiter du voyage sans trop se casser la tête. L'objectif : accumuler des souvenirs, vivre des expériences uniques et profiter pleinement de la liberté de la route. Si cette aventure te parle, écris-moi! 🌎🚐✨

Bonjour à toutes et tous,

Je cherche à partager un petit trip à vélo de 10/15 jours en août (dates flexibles mais avant la dernière semaine des vacances). J'ai déjà effectué plusieurs voyages à vélo (Serbie, Roumanie, Pyrénées, Massif Central, Creuse, ...) et j'ai tout le matériel nécessaire. Le but est avant tout le voyage, découvrir de beaux paysages (je fais beaucoup de photo avec 1 vrai appareil 😉) et couper un peu de la civilisation. Les grands axes, très peu pour moi ! J'ai plutôt envie de partir en montagne, pourquoi pas quelques cols mais le but ce n'est pas la performance ! Si vous avez envie de de partager un trip, pourquoi pas à l'étranger, n'hésitez pas à me contacter !

Bonne journée à toutes et tous !

bonjour à tous Je prépare un voyage d'environ deux mois en Chine debut 2027 et je dispose déjà d'un projet d'itinéraire assez complet, que j'ai élaboré au fil de mes recherches. Bien sûr, il peut être ajusté selon les envies et les rencontres, mais les grandes lignes sont déjà définies. J'aime les beaux paysages, les villes animées, les rencontres, la culture locale et les endroits un peu hors des sentiers battus. Je suis plutôt adaptable : j'apprécie mon confort, mais je peux aussi dormir dans des hébergements plus simples si l'expérience en vaut la peine. Je cherche une ou plusieurs personnes curieuses, ouvertes d'esprit et ayant envie de partager tout ou partie de ce voyage, dans la bonne humeur et le respect du rythme de chacun. L'idée n'est pas de tout faire ensemble à tout prix, mais de partager des découvertes, des trajets, des visites… et de beaux souvenirs. Si vous vous reconnaissez dans cette description, n'hésitez pas à m'écrire ! Au plaisir d'échanger et, qui sait, de partir à l'aventure ensemble ! 😊

Hello,

Y aura t-il du monde qui pédale en Corée du Sud en Septembre ? Y aura t-il du monde qui pédale dans le sud du Japon en Octobre ?

Je vise une arrivée Séoul tout debut septembre, traversée du pays, puis bateau pour le japon fin septembre, itinéraire non défini mais je ne monterai pas plus haut que Osaka. Retour fin octobre.

En mode camping ou bivouac, avec des randos de temps en temps. Entre 0 et 100 km par jour :-) ca dépend des montées, des rencontres, des paysages....et de la météo.

Ce serait sympa de partager un bout de chemin avec d'autres cyclos. Au plaisir de vous lire.

Hi, I’m posting this message not for myself but for my daughter. She doesn’t really have the time to do it and, to be honest, she’s not too hopeful either. If a female traveler is interested, I’ll of course pass along my daughter’s contact details.

The Message: I’m looking for a female travel companion for a 10-day trip around Southeast Asia in October 2026. I’ve already been to Cambodia and Myanmar, as well as some Thai islands. My first idea was to visit northern Thailand (around Chiang Mai), but I’m open to any other plans in Asia. I’ve traveled a lot with my parents or friends, but this time, no one’s available. I feel comfortable traveling alone, but from experience, I love being able to share those discovery moments with someone else. I’m a dynamic and sporty young woman, and a firefighter by profession. Don’t hesitate to get in touch! Alison

Hello World. I’m a retired globetrotter, and I’ve just returned from a wonderful trip: Beijing, Pingyao, Chengde, Xi’an—nothing but beauty, goodness, and happiness. This time, I’d like to "do" the South in October (autumn = beauty, or so I’ve heard): { Shanghai - Guilin - Yangshuo - Chengdu - Chongqing - Zhangjiajie - Shanghai } in about 18–20 days. This is just a rough draft—everything’s flexible. I usually travel solo, staying in 1- or 2-star hotels and eating at local restaurants. But I’m thinking, with one (or more) travel companion(s)—nice and open-minded—it might be even more enjoyable? Plus, it’d let us split the cost of any guides, share our thoughts and photos, and avoid silly mistakes. What do you think?

Hi there,

I’m 40 and in good shape with strong endurance. I’m at an intermediate level in climbing (D- routes) and even better at biking and trekking. I’m looking for a partner for a biking trip to Tajikistan with stops for hiking or climbing. The idea is to have a sporty but also cultural trip, taking time to meet locals along the way. Get in touch if you’re interested! !

Planning a bike road trip from Scandinavia, preparing a coastal voyage along Portugal’s shores to Santiago de Compostela, or taking one of the many routes leading to Compostela...

That’s right—did you know you don’t *have* to walk to experience the adventure of the Camino?

The spirit of travel stays open: hiking, biking, sailing (on a sailboat I can make available for the project), slow wandering, or a more ambitious long-term journey. What matters most is sharing, discovery, and the desire to build a great adventure together.

I’ve already been lucky enough to hike with friends—men and women—I met on this forum, especially in Mercantour Park. Those encounters led to amazing memories and real travel friendships.

If the idea of brainstorming a project, swapping route ideas, or preparing a shared adventure appeals to you, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Ready to start planning your next trip... and maybe even a long-term adventure!

Hi there, My arrival is planned for 08/23 in Las Vegas, with departure on 09/21 from Las Vegas. During this time, I’ll be road-tripping through the American West to explore the wide-open spaces and different cultures. If anyone’s interested in joining for part or all of the trip, feel free to reach out and chat.

Have a great day, and looking forward to exchanging ideas!

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to Latin America starting in November, beginning with Colombia. I’m 35, from Lyon, and I’m looking for someone in the 24–35 age range—location doesn’t matter. I’m open to getting to know each other before we set off. I’ve got travel experience and I’m a seasoned traveler. I’m planning to go for several months, mixing adventure with chill vibes: hiking, mountains, beaches, volcanoes, cities, and even some volunteering through WWOOFing.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a motorcycle road trip to Armenia and Georgia in September 2026 or May 2027. I’m looking for one or more riders (male or female) who’d like to explore these countries with me.

Along the way, we’ll visit Cappadocia, the capitals Yerevan, Tbilisi, Sofia, Skopje, and other cities—we can finalize the route and roadbook later.

You’ll need to be experienced with long motorcycle trips, as we’ll cover around 7,000 km over 5 or 6 weeks (or more, depending on how much time we spend sightseeing).

See you soon!

Hey fellow adventurers! I’m planning a trip to the Philippines and Japan and I’m looking for someone interested in traveling as a duo. More of a road-trip style with a bit of comfort. Estimated duration: Philippines: 4 to 6 weeks Japan: 3 to 4 weeks Ideally January–February for the Philippines, then March–April for Japan. Nothing’s set in stone—everything’s open for discussion! !

Avid bike-travel enthusiast looking for a senior teammate from ARLON (Belgium) to TRONDHEIM. Nights in campsites, bivouacs.... Departure late June - early July. I suggest a one-week ride from Paris to Arlon to get to know each other and plan the route, duration, etc. No athletic feat (50–70 km/day, or 4–6 hours/day), just riding at the pace of our encounters and desires. Interested in this project? Don’t hesitate! Contact me! Looking forward to hearing from you, Marie

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>

Hello,

I’m a 70-year-old retiree looking for two or three travel companions to visit Sicily, which I haven’t been to, in May or June. I’m also planning to visit Vietnam in September. I love exploring, learning, and meeting new people, and I’m adaptable, but it’s not easy to find people with the same interests. Team spirit is important to me. I travel on a mid-range budget. Looking forward to your comments. You can reach me at: maryse.21 @orange.fr Best regards,

I'm planning a trip to Brazil as winter approaches, around late October to early November 2026. I don’t have exact dates since I recently retired, so I can stay until mid-December if needed. I’m looking for a travel companion (male or female) for this journey—think relaxed mode, pousadas with locals, parks, seaside, culture, and music.

I’ve already explored the north, like Recife and Fortaleza. What I found most challenging was communicating with locals since I don’t speak Portuguese, and not everyone speaks English. I’m trying to learn now, but the accent isn’t easy!!!! This country is huge, and I’d love to discover the south. The idea is to arrive in São Paulo (without staying long—I’m not a big fan of large cities) and take a flight to Iguazu, then a bus to Paraty and Ilha Grande to enjoy the spots. After that, a bit of Rio is unavoidable, but I’d like to explore off-the-beaten-path places with a guide. To finish, Salvador de Bahia, with a focus on Morro de São Paulo and Boipeba. Maybe a return via Salvador—TAP offers that route. Nothing’s set in stone; we can discuss everything together.

I just got back from Madagascar, where I spent the winter (a place I know well), and I’ve got quite a few trips under my belt. Feel free to email me so we can chat, then we can call or meet—I’m based in Toulouse and can host you.

patricia.wagner31@sfr.fr Have a great day! Vejo você em breve

Hello everyone! Who wants to join me for 3 weeks in French Polynesia in September 2027? I’m passionate about snorkeling and dreaming of lagoons, especially swimming with whales (that’s why I’m going in September). I already have a rough idea of which islands to visit and explore—we’ll just need to fine-tune it, of course. I’m not super keen on long hikes, but I do enjoy a good stroll. A few visits here and there, discovering local customs, crafts, songs, and dances, etc... Accommodation with locals or in cozy guesthouses—no overwater hotels or fancy restaurants. The famous *roulottes* (food trucks) will do the trick, or eating with locals depending on where we stay. Small, typical restaurants are great too. Renting a car or scooter if necessary (the catch is I’ve never ridden a scooter before… not helpful, lol). We’ll plan the trip together to make sure it aligns with our dreams and desires. This is a once-in-a-lifetime journey, and I’m excited to share it, exchange ideas and impressions, and just enjoy it all in harmony, with conviviality and respect. Here’s my message in a bottle… looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello everyone!

I’m heading off to explore the Lot region in a week. Starting in Figeac, then making my way up to the northern part of the department before heading back down toward Cahors, and finally setting off toward Villefranche-de-Rouergue...

I’ll be there for a good week, sleeping on the mattress in the back of my van. My priority is quiet, natural, and peaceful spots. I’m self-sufficient with a camping stove, food and drinks, and a backpack for hiking and visiting small villages and nature trails...

If any of you are available and up for sharing a moment together—a meal, a beer, a hike, a visit, etc.—and you’re from the area or want to show me a stunning spot in the Lot that I might not know about, I’m in!

For those who don’t know me, I’m a 41-year-old guy, pretty sporty and passionate about nature and adventure!

Don’t hesitate to reach out privately! Looking forward to great encounters... 🚐🥾

Hi there, I’m traveling solo to Corsica on Tuesday, June 9, leaving from Toulon and arriving in Propriano the next day (June 10). I’m offering to share my crossing—of course, you’d need to book your own ferry ticket as a foot passenger—but I can give you a ride and share my cabin (twin beds). We can discuss the price. 😊

After that, I’m heading to Porto-Vecchio, so I can drop you off there if you’d like.

I’ve booked a spot at a campsite where I rented a hard-sided cabin from June 10 to 18. If you’re interested, we could even share the week together.

Have a great day.

Hi everyone,

I’m offering a spot in my van for a maiden trip in May, from 20/05 to 05/06. The planned destination is Montenegro, but it could be any other area. For July and August, I’m planning another van trip through the Baltic countries via Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland. I also have a kayaking trip project, more or less long—probably around ten days initially, just to test the waters, in Scotland. This could happen this autumn combined with a road trip to get there or back, or both! Preferably with experienced kayakers. If you have other ideas, I’m all ears. I’ve got time and options. In the van, I travel with my dog, who’s really chill.

See you soon.

Hi there, A little week or rather ten days—second week of June—in Sardinia sound good to you? Let me know if you're interested. Departing from Sète with Corsica Ferry and returning the same way. We’ll be moving around, spending a max of 2 days in any one town. If you love walking, perfect. See you soon! Thanks

Thirty-seven years ago, I crossed Lapland on skis in winter... Four years later, I returned by bike to the Lofoten Islands. Now, I’d like to go back to this stunning country by sea kayak—a sport I’ve been practicing for the past 10 years. If it’s possible to meet up with one or more people for this little trip this year, it’s pretty quick to organize. Otherwise, in 2026, I’d love to kayak around Norway as well. If you’d like to join me for part of the route, that’d be awesome. Some sections require solid kayaking skills and excellent physical condition. I’m 58 and retired this year—in September—due to disability. Looking forward to your questions and/or interest in joining! Improvisation is often part of the plan!!
