Travel companions · Western Europe

Hello! I’m Mélanie, I’m 49. Since my partner isn’t available, I’m looking for a female travel companion between 35 and 60 to join me in the Shetland Islands. Traveling alone is less fun. I’ll be going for 12 or 13 days between May 9 and May 24, 2025. I plan to fly to Sumburgh and then rent a vehicle to get around the islands. I’d like to stay in B&Bs or with locals, and if possible, I’d prefer to have my own room (I snore and don’t want anyone to hold it against me!). But if that’s not possible, we’ll just have to arm ourselves with earplugs! If the weather isn’t too bad, I’d like to do some easy hikes (around 3 to 4 hours of walking per day). I’ll go at my own pace—I love sketching in my travel journal, so I’ll take breaks sometimes. And if we can go pet some ponies and sheep, I’ll be in heaven. What else? Oh right, I speak English, I’ve never driven on the left, and I prefer going to bed early so I can wake up early and make the most of the day. I live in the Paris area and I’m available to meet interested people if they’re nearby too. I want to book my flight and accommodations as soon as possible, so let me know quickly if you’re interested!

Hi there,

I’m planning to travel solo to the Dolomites from July 25 to August 4, 2025. I’d love to find a travel companion for this trip—by plane or car. The plan is easy hiking and exploring the area, mixing up accommodations (camping, hostels, etc.), all to be decided together. @+

Looking for a travel buddy (ages 28 to 36) for 8 days or a bit longer in London or a trip around Italy in July or August. That said, I’m also open to other travel ideas in Europe. Looking forward to hearing from you and chatting!

Hi everyone, I’ll be in the Pisa–Florence–Siena area from April 19 to 27–28. I’d love to visit Tuscany, but I’m open to other suggestions. Who’s in?

Calling all active seniors—and adventurous folks of any age! Let’s share and explore Ireland together, hitting Dublin, Galway, Connemara, Cork, at reduced costs, and see where the journey takes us next... Email or call!

Hi there, I’m Coralie and Abdel, already ready for the adventure😎 I’ll have a fitted van with 4 beds, a mini kitchen, and a fridge. I’m looking for a travel partner for 3 to 5 days of Van Life from May 28 to June 1, 2025—max 2 people. Route: leaving from Marseille toward the Hautes-Alpes, and I can pick you up along the way! 🙂 Costs split between 3 or 4 people! DM me with a quick intro about yourself. I’m in the south of France! Abdel

Hi,

I own a camper van (an old "Traffic" model) and would like to travel to Italy this summer with my kids (8 and 11 years old). I haven’t planned the route yet because I’m pretty open about the region (the lakes? Amalfi Coast? Tuscany?) and the dates (July or August, probably around 3 weeks). We’re used to road-tripping, but we were a group of four before, so this will be our first time as a trio! I’d love to find other camper van or van travelers to join us for extra safety and to share the adventure.

Thanks

Calm, composed, reflective, dreamy, intuitive, joyful—I feel like (especially in winter) colors and warm seas, shared moments to savor the soul of the world. Why not also the rest of the time in Europe, France, Italy, and other regions of the world? For example, to bathe in gorges with clear waters, marvel at landscapes, taste the harmony of a village, a city (Florence…), a culture…

Currently, I’m finishing writing a novel. I’m also looking for partners for the "Human Source" project I’m developing. It’s about collecting and sharing stories of human transformations, moments of awareness, and offering tools to feel guided through these changes. I also love speaking English.

Let’s chat a bit here, then on WhatsApp or by phone, and then meet somewhere in France for 1 or 2 days. If we click, we can organize a short 4- to 5-day trip somewhere not too far, and maybe then continue on to bigger travels. Interests: - Writing, Reading, Songwriting, Awareness, Dream Symbolism, Wonder, Gentle Joy, Sense of Beauty, English, Various topics on human knowledge, Taking the time to live things fully, Sea, Sun

** I’m not into trekking or sports, but more into leisurely walks, taking my time, and peaceful discovery**

I’ve been to Corsica once (Bonifacio) and Italy once (Tuscany), and I have great memories of both. I’d love to go back to one of these places, but this time on a road trip (with my car).

I enjoy walking (nothing too intense like 8-hour hikes), wandering around nature or cities at random, local crafts and specialties, a little beach time, lots of food and culinary discoveries, meeting people, music, and dancing (Latin).

This is the first time I’m posting here to find a travel buddy—up until now, I’ve mostly traveled solo or met up with friends already on location. It could be a great way to share the experience. I’m open to some planning to outline the itinerary, but also leaving room to adjust based on what feels good in the moment or any opportunities that come up. So, I’m thinking of booking accommodations last-minute sometimes—Airbnb, guesthouses, hotels, camping, etc.

Everything’s on the table, and I’d love to chat about it.

Hope to see you soon! Raphaël

Hi there,

I’ve bought my flight tickets to Scotland for three weeks in early September.

I’m looking for a female travel companion between 30 and 45 who isn’t afraid of driving on the left, since I’m planning to rent a car.

I know Scotland well and speak English.

I’ll be staying in youth hostels or bed and breakfasts, which means we can cook in the evenings.

I’m looking for someone who enjoys hiking, is energetic, loves nature but also culture (castles, churches, museums).

I’d prefer to explore the far north of Scotland, which I haven’t visited yet, but I’m open to other areas too.

Feel free to message me privately.

Hi there, I'm looking for someone heading to Norway or in that direction in June 2025, so we can do the road trip together. So if you've got a spare seat in your vehicle, feel free to reach out by email: justinpoux@hotmail.fr I'm 22 and full of good vibes, Looking forward to finding a travel buddy, Safe travels! !

Hi, I’m looking for people interested in traveling through southern Europe by bike in a small group. I’m more into doing sporty day trips by mountain bike and sleeping on the go in the evenings. I’m thinking Sardinia or southern Portugal and Spain, but other sunny, coastal destinations are possible too. The trip would be two to three weeks between mid-May and mid-June, with some flexibility on dates. Happy to chat more about it. Looking forward to discussing! Eric LG.

Hi everyone! I just found out the site is back online. Awesome! On the off chance, I’m posting this because I’ll have some free time between April 14 and 25, 2025. I’d love to go somewhere for 5 or 6 days with a few people around my age (60-70). In France or Europe—all ideas are welcome! If you’re interested in forming a small group, don’t hesitate! I’m also brainstorming some possible destinations on my end. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi there,

I finally have two weeks off at the end of April, and flight prices to some destinations have gone up, so I’m no longer considering the Canary Islands, for example.

I’m open to any destination, but not too far away given the short two-week timeframe.

Southern Italy, Sicily, Wales, England, Ireland... Eastern and Northern Europe appeal to me, but I’m not sure about the weather being ideal.

I’m looking for a female travel companion to hike, explore cities, etc...

Feel free to message me privately.

Hi there,

I’m looking for travel companions to join me on short trips around Europe (weekends or a few weeks).

Nothing’s set in stone for dates or destinations yet, but I’ve been really keen to visit Italy, for example.

When I travel, I enjoy exploring cultural spots or natural spaces, doing some light sports, meeting locals, and practicing languages.

If you’re interested, feel free to send me a message.

Hi there, I found a yoga retreat with hiking... in the middle of nature in Norway from August 16th to 22nd. I’m looking for a travel buddy—either to join the retreat and a little trip in Norway or just to share accommodations and good times... For introductions, I’m Océane, from Rennes, and I’m 38.

Hi, I’m Jérémy, 28 years old. Originally from Brittany, I’ve always loved traveling, especially to natural spots—whether by the sea or in the mountains.

I’m a huge sports fan, particularly outdoor sports (surfing, snowboarding, hiking, climbing, etc.) :D

Not long ago, I bought a nice converted van, and I’ve just left home for a very long road trip across Europe.

Right now, I’m heading down the west coast of France. Then, around February 6-7, I’ll turn toward the Northern Alps before heading back down to the Southern Alps. After that, my plan is to head toward the Pyrenees, then loop around Spain and Portugal (to catch some great waves) before passing back through France and continuing into Northern Italy and the Balkans. Basically, the idea is to cover all of Southern Europe if possible.

I’ve traveled solo and with friends before, and I’ve realized I prefer traveling with people. Just sharing experiences together feels amazing :)

If you’d like to join me—whether for a few days or several weeks/months—I’d be happy to host you (after getting to know each other first, of course)! That said, I can only travel with one person or, at most, two at a time since my van has three front seats (though if we’re three, one person would need to sleep in a tent next to the van since there are only two spots inside).

If you’re traveling in a van too, I’m also open to us traveling together with our two vans—it’d let us be a bigger group.

Feel free to message me on Instagram @jeremy.tex

Have a great day!

Jérémy

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a travel companion aged 25-35 for a 4-month bike trip through France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia.

I have a tandem, but everyone can bring their own bike if they prefer. I’m planning a 4-month trip because I have a dog, and I can’t do more than 40 km a day max with him running alongside.

If you’re up for biking and camping under the stars, let’s go! I’m leaving by August 31st at the latest, and I’m flexible with dates.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for one or more travel companions (female travelers welcome!) for a weekend in London on May 24 and 25, 2025.

I’d like to go to the Vitamin String Quartet concert on the evening of May 24. This classical music group is famous for their music from *Bridgerton*, but also for their covers of Taylor Swift and other current artists.

I’d also like to do some cultural and foodie sightseeing during the weekend.

Feel free to get in touch!

Have a great day. Maelle

Hello, With a couple of friends, I’m looking for a teammate (or up to two people max) interested in exploring Iceland in the areas I’ve circled on the attached document. This trip will focus on the island’s interior, traveling through the tracks of the 'Icelandic desert' where the landscapes are stunning—including the Myvatn region, Landmannalaugar, the Golden Circle, and the Askja area. A 4x4 is essential (rental to be arranged). The itinerary includes discovering well-known and hidden spots, photography, short treks (2 to 4 hours), relaxing in hot springs, and soaking up the unique atmosphere of this incredible country I’ve visited several times before. Average age of participants already on the list: 62, but we’ve all traveled extensively across all five continents. It’d be great if anyone interested could take turns driving the 4x4, but it’s not mandatory. 😎😎 Looking forward to hearing from you, takk fyrir!

Hi there,

I’m updating my post because VoyageForum didn’t quite get the dates right in the title.

I’m looking for a female travel companion to hike and explore the north of Scotland for three weeks, starting the last week of May through mid-June.

I already know Scotland well and this time I’d like to discover the northern tip facing the Orkney Islands.

We’ll rent a car and stay in bed and breakfasts or hostels if available.

Feel free to message me privately.

I'd love to find a travel buddy

Hi there,

I’m leaving from Tours (Indre-et-Loire 37) on 12/22 for Seville in Andalusia, with a stop in Valladolid to arrive in Seville on 12/23.

I’ve planned some trips to Huelva, Cadiz, Malaga, and maybe Faro in Portugal, as well as Seville—visited it last February but I can show it to a travel companion this time.

I’ll be heading back from Seville on 01/02/25 with a stop in San Sebastian to get back to Tours on 01/03.

I’ve already booked an Airbnb near the Cathedral (a cute little apartment with 2 bedrooms).

Looking forward to sharing this trip!

Never heard of the Via Francigena? It’s a pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome, which you can do on foot or by bike. I walked part of it (meh!) as far as Reims. Now I’m looking for a partner to continue all the way to Rome, passing through Switzerland and the Great St. Bernard Pass! Everything’s up for discussion: stages, dates, accommodations... Feel free to get in touch via VF or at 0685054720. See you soon.

Hey there, My boyfriend or my ex—I can’t even tell anymore—just bailed on me, saying "he can’t get on the plane." Long story short, I should be in Sicily right now, and I’m really bummed... I’ve got friends, like everyone else, but they’re all working. So, who knows why, but I’m looking for a stranger who’d be up for wandering around with me next week—I don’t even know where yet. At least I’ll have tried, right? Thanks. Elodie Oh, and I live in French-speaking Switzerland, in case that matters

I'm looking for a travel partner for a kayaking/hiking/tourism trip in the Norwegian fjords, the Lofoten Islands, and the lakes of Finland in summer 2025. Outbound via Denmark, return via Estonia. We’ll launch the kayaks whenever we feel like it and when it’s possible. You’ll need an inflatable kayak. I have a Framura and the vehicle, an Evasion. Chill vibe, not a sports expedition. Bivouacs and campgrounds. Looking for a cool person who speaks good English and has some travel experience. The itinerary and dates are flexible, but a good window is early June to mid-July. I live in La Rochelle and I’m 73 (just finished a month and a half of hiking in the Alps and Pyrenees). First contact by email, thanks.
