I’m heading to the Raja Ampat archipelago from February 11th to March 20th. I’ll be staying with locals on different islands. The plan includes snorkeling, kayaking (packraft), hiking... If you’re interested, we can share part of the journey together.

Hi there!
Looking to head off by the end of this year, no later than between December 10th and 15th, for the Philippines.
Any recommendations for regions like the Batanes Islands and Mindanao, away from mass tourism and off the beaten path?
Plan:
Beaches, snorkeling, diving, hiking, and visiting the most interesting sites depending on each person’s preferences (I’m not really into old stones but more about nature, jungle, flora, and fauna).
When?
Between December 10th and 15th, but no later than December 15th–17th.
Where?
Northern Philippines, starting with a few days of beach and relaxation to recharge after the bad weather and winter in France. Then, off to trek in northern Luzon with its stunning rice terraces, followed by the Batanes Islands, which are the epitome of off-the-beaten-path destinations. After that, we’d head down to the Balicas Islands, where you can swim with turtles and where tourism is minimal due to very limited hotel infrastructure (accommodation is in tents by the sea).
Next up: the island of Mindanao.
Depending on time and everyone’s interests, we could continue to Sumatra and then the Moluccas Islands, which, unlike the rest of Indonesia, are much less affected by the monsoon.
With whom?
Someone who’s already traveled and hiked beyond just their imagination and dreams .
Independent and resourceful (I’m looking for a travel partner, not a tourist to guide).
Good-humored and adaptable.
Loving adventure and eager to explore off the beaten path.
I’ve traveled a lot and I’m a fan of the unexpected (go where the wind takes you).
If you see yourself in these few lines, it would be a great pleasure to share this new adventure with you for a few days or weeks....
This is just a rough plan I’m proposing, and it can be adjusted based on everyone’s preferences.
Hi, I’d like to go to Indonesia between April and September. I’ve been there once before with someone to Yogyakarta and Lombok.
This time, I’ll be going alone to Sumba.
I’m looking for company for the trip at least until Sumba or Jakarta. In theory, I have someone picking me up in Sumba.
I hope I’ll get this opportunity. Thanks.
Hi,
I’ll be in Cambodia from January 15 to 28, 2025, and I’d love to meet up with people for activities, grab a drink, or just chill on the beach.
Plans include the Angkor temples and then Koh Rong Island—if anyone’s around or up for traveling, don’t hesitate!
Looking forward to it,
Vanessa
I’m looking for a partner to go surfing and share some great moments. The location doesn’t matter to me, as long as there are uncrowded surf spots. I’m thinking, for example, of the Pacific coast in Colombia or some lesser-known islands in Indonesia. I’ve already visited several quiet spots, but always solo. This time, I’d love to share the experience with someone.
I’m open to any destination and ready to adapt if you have ideas or preferences. Ideally, I’m looking for someone with an intermediate level or higher. I’m not an expert surfer, but I can handle intermediate spots and sometimes more challenging ones. If you’re more experienced, that’d be perfect—I’d love to learn from you and improve.
For languages, I speak English and Spanish, so no problem communicating! I’m keen to leave around mid-January or early February for about 2-3 weeks. A pure surf trip, with lots of fun along the way.
If you’re interested, feel free to suggest ideas or drop me a message. Can’t wait to hear your proposals! !
Hi there,
I’d love to start traveling with company again, but going solo can feel a bit heavy. I’m looking for someone to share part of the journey with.
hello everyone
I’d love to take a trip to Bali in May 2025 for about twenty days... I haven’t decided on the type of trip yet, but from what I see, flight tickets alone are expensive...
I found some great deals on LastMinute.com. It doesn’t force you to stay in one place—you can move around—so if anyone (or a small group, max 3 people) is interested,
thanks for your messages!

Hi there! I found a 24-day Laos tour with the agency Tamera in March '25.
Who’d like to join me? It looks like there are already 2 people signed up. Just 2 more and the tour is guaranteed!
Happy holidays to everyone
Hi there,
I’ll be on Palawan Island during the last week of January and early February 2025—any other solo travelers (or accompanied ones) around at the same time?
I’ve browsed the forum a bit, and there seem to be fewer activities than before, but we’ll see.
Just FYI, Air France launched a direct route from CDG to Manila on December 7, 2024.
Hello,
I’ve been retired since 2018 and travel solo every winter. But after my sons pointed out: “riding alone through Laos on a bike! Safety-wise, there’s room for improvement.” I’m getting older and need to be more careful. That’s the reason for this post. The idea is to look out for each other if needed, while still keeping our independence and privacy. I’ll be in Laos starting December 6th, then probably Thailand in January since I want to do some diving. After that, it’s all improvisation—nothing’s set in stone. If the destination and the concept interest you, well, we can just chat about it.

Hi there,
I’ve booked my one-way ticket from Paris to Manila on December 6th, flight at 4 PM.
I’ve already visited 6 out of 7,000 islands 😅 traveling on a small budget but not roughing it 😄
I’ll be traveling for 3 months, and nothing’s set in stone, so if anyone wants to join for part of the trip or suggest their itinerary, I’d love that. Could also be India or somewhere else. I’m an early riser, energetic, and resourceful. I’ve traveled quite a bit—Colombia, Mexico, Malaysia, India, etc.—mostly on budget flights. I love visiting iconic sites, nature, diving in warm, vibrant seas, and so on… over to you! I’m definitely not looking for hardship, just a travel buddy 😊
