I’m looking for travel buddies to co-create a getaway around Lake Annecy.
The idea is to explore with day hikes (no pressure, no performance vibes) and discover stunning views, local history...
Try canoeing, mountain biking; check out street art performances, music festivals, art exhibitions—anything that makes for a good time.
I’m also open to other suggestions: the Pyrenees, Crete, Sardinia, Lanzarote, or anywhere else here or there 🙂
Holidays in a zen, laid-back spirit—no stress, no grumpiness, no ambiguity.
Energy. Culture. Sharing. Respect. Curiosity to discover the world. Chill vibes.

Hello,
We’re a group of three people aged 63 to 65, planning to do the Kangchenjunga trek in April 2026 with a Nepali friend. We’d like to have a total of six participants to share costs. If you’re interested, drop us a message.

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>
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!!
Hi there,
I’m looking for a travel buddy. I live on Réunion Island. I’m 65 years old.
I’ve traveled a lot already—I’m easygoing. We can decide on destinations together.
Just throwing this out there like a message in a bottle....
Hello!
For the few who’ve traveled to Iran, loved the country, and discovered its incredible thousand-year-old beauty and the amazing kindness of its people—one of the last places still untouched by mass tourism—
I’d have loved to go back, but given the current situation, it’s not possible right now, and likely won’t be for a long time.
In the meantime, a neighboring country, Uzbekistan, definitely deserves a visit!
I discovered it through photo reports, and it reminds me a lot of Iran. So, I’m planning to check it out.
On foot, on horseback, or by car 😄—this time, I’m going with a car 🚗😊😍
I’m looking for an independent, motivated travel companion to explore this seemingly wonderful country.
Who’s in? ⭐
I'm looking for a co-driver for a road trip from PARIS to the NORTH CAPE.
My co-driver had an issue and can't come with me.
The trip lasts 1 month and covers about 12,000 km.
We'll cross 6 countries:
Germany, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Finland. My vehicle is a RENAULT KANGOO.
I’m looking for people who might be interested in joining me on one or more self-sufficient treks, no agencies, between Zanskar and Ladakh this summer.
My plans:
Trek from Songde to Phuktal Gompa (return by hitching on the new road to Padum)
Trek from Lingshe to Kanji (hitch to Lingshe using the new Padum–Nimmu road)
Trek from Leh to Hundar (Nubra Valley) via Lasermo La
Trek from Korzok (Tso Moriri) to Kibber via Parang La, probably after September 10th (there are 3 buses a month on the 10th, 20th, and 30th between Leh and Korzok)
I’m pretty used to long-distance treks with a heavy backpack (self-sufficiency is key 😄!) and reasonably fit for my age 😅 (the big 5-0!).
Feel free to reach out with any ideas if you’re interested, and we can figure out what’s doable together...
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Raf
Hi there and happy New Year! I’d love to explore Greece or Austria in August 2026 for ten days.
If anyone’s interested, feel free to get in touch.
Thanks
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!
I’ve already visited Southern India. Next up is Northern India for 2 months, from Gujarat all the way to Delhi, passing through Madhya Pradesh, Kolkata, Bengal, Bihar, Punjab, and Rajasthan. My itinerary is still in the works.
Anyone up for joining me on this little adventure?
I'm looking for 4 to 10 adult participants for a road trip starting from Cebu City or Mactan. The tour costs 2,000 €, to be divided by the number of participants. Hotels, meals, and drinks are at your own expense. Ferries and pumpboats are included, but not terminal fees.
This is a 14-day journey visiting more than 7 islands:
Camotes Island
Malapascua Island
Kalanggaman Island
Bantayan Island
Negros
Iloilo
Boracay Island
Sumilon Island
That’s where we’ll part ways for those who want to visit Siquijor Island independently.
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 17 years. We have two kids, one of whom was born in Cebu.
We live in France and own a house in Cebu that’s unoccupied, 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—1 adult = 1 child.
Best regards, and see you soon in Cebu and/or Paris.
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.
🚐 Looking for a travel companion for a big adventure! 🌄
For the summer :)
I want to hit the road again like I’ve done before—crossing the United States by car or camper van and living all kinds of unforgettable experiences.
The idea isn’t to follow a rigid itinerary. We’ll go wherever the mood takes us! Discover new places, meet people, visit cities, national parks, offbeat spots, and just enjoy the moment.
For accommodation, I’m open to anything:
• Couchsurfing (if it still exists!)
• Tent
• Truck stops
• Airbnb
• Small motels
• Or any other option that comes up along the way
I’ve got several weeks, maybe even months, ahead of me. No pressure, no packed schedule. We’ll drive 8 to 10 hours if we feel like it, stay a few days in a place we love, then move on. Why not extend the adventure all the way to Mexico?
I’m 40, a cheerful, spontaneous, and easygoing woman. I’m looking for someone who loves adventure, is flexible, open-minded, and wants to enjoy the trip without overcomplicating things.
The goal: collect memories, live unique experiences, and fully embrace the freedom of the road.
If this adventure speaks to you, drop me a line!
🌄🚐✨
I’m looking to share a little 10–15-day bike trip in August (dates are flexible, but before the last week of the holidays). I’ve already done several bike trips (Serbia, Romania, the Pyrenees, Massif Central, Creuse, etc.) and have all the gear I need. The goal is mainly the journey itself—discovering beautiful landscapes (I take a lot of photos with a proper camera 😊) and getting a break from civilization. Major roads? Not my thing! I’d rather head to the mountains, maybe tackle a few cols, but it’s not about performance. If you’re up for sharing a trip, maybe even abroad, feel free to get in touch!
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! 😊
Will there be anyone cycling in South Korea in September?
Will there be anyone cycling in southern Japan in October?
I’m planning to arrive in Seoul at the very beginning of September, cross the country, then take a boat to Japan at the end of September. My route isn’t set yet, but I won’t go any farther north than Osaka. I’ll be heading back at the end of October.
I’ll be camping or bivouacking, with some hikes here and there. I’ll be doing between 0 and 100 km a day—it all depends on the climbs, the people I meet, the landscapes, and the weather.
It’d be great to share part of the journey with other cyclists.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Christine, 58, from Belfort, Franche-Comté,
currently on a long break to travel.
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?
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.
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).
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
