Travel companions

Hi there, I’m free to travel from now until fall 2026. Everything’s in my profile—feel free to check it out: https://voyageforum.com/membres/petitflocon3/ See you soon, Philippe

A couple in their late 60s would love to do this trip with another couple, while still having some independence each.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a travel companion for next year, specifically for May 2026, to explore Latin America and the Caribbean. Ideally, I’d prefer a woman aged 25 to 35—I’m 34—but I’m also open to a friendly guy in the same age range.

I’d love to visit all of South America except French Guiana, and Central America except Mexico and Guatemala (since I’ve already been there). I’d also like to explore some Caribbean countries. I’m based in the Lyon area and open to connecting with people in the Rhône-Alpes region to get to know each other and discuss the trip.

The journey would last between 9 to 11 months max, but you don’t have to commit to the whole trip—just part of it if you’re interested. I plan to start in Colombia in May. I’d love to meet people who are passionate about travel and around my age.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

I’m Nicolas, I’m 27, and I’m planning to head to Asia without taking any flights starting from early 2026 (mostly by train, then buses or ferries for some parts). My trip will last several months (between 8 to 10 months). I’m not necessarily looking for someone to join me for the entire journey, but rather someone who can travel with me for part of the way.

Honestly, this is the part that makes me the most nervous. The current global geopolitical situation makes this trip a bit more complicated, especially when it comes to choosing between going through Russia (faster but maybe less psychologically comfortable) or Turkey → Uzbekistan (more logistically challenging), with the goal of reaching China in either case.

So if you’re up for the adventure, feel free to reach out!

I’ve read a lot of trip reports from people who’ve already done this, but if you have any tips to share, don’t hesitate!

Hello everyone,

I’ve booked a round-trip flight to Mumbai from October 4th to 24th, 2025. I haven’t finalized my itinerary yet, but my plan is to spend 2 nights in Mumbai (hotel booked in Colaba), a few nights in Nashik, and then head down to Gokarna. I’m a young-at-heart sixty-something who stays very active and loves traveling. This will be my third trip to "southern" India, so I know what to expect in terms of cultural differences. Plus, my native language is English, so I have no trouble understanding or being understood, no matter the accent over there. I’d be happy to meet up and share some moments with you—young or not-so-young—if you’re up for it.

See you soon, I hope!

Charlie

Hello, I’m looking for someone—or why not form a small, easygoing, cheerful group of people aged 60 or over—to travel to Colombia this winter. My preferred dates are around December 12th through February (flexible). I’d like to head north, or even further if we have time. I travel with a suitcase, taking it easy in mid-range hotels, Airbnbs, or better depending on prices and local transport—buses, trains, taxis, etc. Anyone interested? Gentlemen are welcome as long as they’re not looking for a romantic adventure—you’ve been warned! ;) I live in Bordeaux. Françoise

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for female travelers to share a week of sunny vacation in Greece or Sicily.

The plan: sun, beaches, sightseeing, excursions, restaurants...

I’m flexible on dates between August 19th and September 1st, as well as the duration (more or less a week).

I’ll be departing from Paris.

If you’re interested (girls only), feel free to get in touch.

I’m a new member of VoyageForum. A high school Spanish teacher, I’ll be retiring on October 1, 2025. I’m energetic, curious, and passionate about travel, hiking in the mountains and plains, and nature. A member of the Alpine Club (hiking, skiing), I’m open-minded and fluent in three languages (French, English, Spanish) and have already traveled extensively as a backpacker with friends. For next October or later, I’m looking for a travel companion to explore several destinations: Scandinavia (especially Norway), Argentina, Chile, or New Zealand. If this post interests you, I’d appreciate your response. Best regards, Marc

Hi there, I’m posting another announcement for a slightly more specific destination—Spain. Departing from Montpellier by Flexibus to Barcelona, then following the coast south, visiting the Ebro Delta, and prioritizing local transport or BlaBlaCar. Who’d be up for this 3-week (or longer) trip starting mid-September? If you’re not afraid of walking and laid-back living is your thing, let’s go! Hope to hear from you soon

hello, 65 years old and used to traveling, looking for a travel companion (female or male) for any destination, any conditions. See you soon

Hi everyone. I’m 62, in pretty good shape, and looking for 1 or 2 travel partners to share the fixed costs of a tour agency (vehicle, guide, driver, etc.) for what I hope will be a legendary trip to Ethiopia, ideally departing in mid-February 2025. Trip duration: 22 to 24 days. The itinerary covers all the country’s highlights in optimized safety conditions (hence using a specialized agency). The estimated budget is 5000 to 6000 € per person. I’m very independent and prefer a "private room". As you’ve probably gathered, I’m looking for a situational partnership to minimize costs—I’m not specifically searching for new friends or anything more. That said, I’d love to find one or more travel companions who are easy to communicate and get along with. Thanks for your attention!

Hi everyone,

I’m heading off on a trip starting September 10th in Namibia and returning from Victoria Falls on October 7th, 2025.

I’m not quite set on the exact itinerary yet, but here’s what I love: - Nature - Culture - Hiking - Backpack-style trips, and for this one, mostly 4x4 (which seems essential) but still with plenty of walking - Simple places to stay, unless it’s THE experience not to miss or a little treat for myself

I’m pretty independent—I love traveling and meeting people, but I also like leaving room for discovery and spontaneity.

I’d love to find a few travel companions to share this experience with, so we could plan the main routes, must-see spots, and places to stay together.

I’ll refine my ideas over the next few weeks, and the plan will evolve based on who joins.

Even if you can’t come along, any tips or advice are more than welcome!

Looking forward to reading your thoughts and sharing about Namibia and Zimbabwe. Patricia

Hello, I’d like to hike the Stevenson Trail between September 5th and 15th, 2025. Starting from Le Puy-en-Velay. I’m looking for a woman (I’m 60) to join me since I don’t want to walk alone. Feel free to get in touch! Nathalie (Bouches-du-Rhône, France)

Hello, This summer, a kayaking expedition in Spitsbergen will attempt to reach the 80th parallel north, which is practically the northern tip of the island. We're looking for crew members. No need to be an experienced kayaker—navigating a sea kayak is within everyone's reach. This trip mainly requires good physical condition: in addition to paddling, setting up and taking down camp is energy-intensive, and there are also night watches (it will be daylight all the time) to guard against polar bears. You also need to be comfortable with isolation (3 weeks) and the unpredictability, especially the weather, of such a journey.

The expedition is organized by the agency Grand Nord Grand Large. All the details are on their website. I should mention that I have no affiliation with this agency, but this trip has already been postponed twice due to insufficient participants, and I’d really like it to happen this time. I’ve kayaked in the Arctic before, both in Spitsbergen and Greenland, but this is an exceptional adventure.

Looking forward to paddling together among the icebergs, Didier

Hi there, On holiday from August 25 to September 13, I’m looking for hiking buddies to explore trails through the greenery, discover viewpoints, and enjoy panoramas. A base location with day hikes radiating out, or a relaxed multi-day trek for one, two, or three days. Visit heritage sites, canoe, mountain bike, swim, sightsee, take in viewpoints, local history, music, culture, arts—all chill 🙂 All your suggestions, ideas, projects, places, and destinations are welcome. In France, in Lanzarote, in Sicily, the Dolomites, in Crete… or elsewhere. Let’s meet up for coffee in Paris, Marne-la-Vallée, or Meaux to get to know each other and chat (dates, locations, transport, budget, routes, visits, stages, duration, semi-autonomy/day trips, accommodation…). And co-create together for a fun summer holiday. A “basic fitness level” required. Energy, culture, sharing, respect, curiosity to discover the world. Chill vibes. I play badminton and enjoy hiking. I love art, old stones, music, and upcycling. Looking forward to meeting up here, there, or somewhere else. 😛 I’m 53, from Meaux (77).

Hello, I’m a young, active retiree looking for someone to join me in Latin America without the obligation of being together 24/7. I’m leaving on 25/09 for Cusco in Peru, then planning to head down to Chile. If the date is too soon, we could meet up there instead.

I used to travel independently with my partner. We’ve been to Peru, Bolivia twice, Guatemala, Ecuador, Cuba, Ethiopia…

Now, I’m on my own and would prefer to share the experience rather than travel solo. I last visited Peru 13 years ago, so I’m excited to revisit it and explore it differently this time. If you’re interested… see you soon! Brigitte

Hey everyone, so glad to see the group back up and running! I’d love to join an existing group of French speakers—ideally, but if there are any interested folks, why not start one for the Kili climb?

Who'd like to join me at the end of August for about 3 weeks from Slovenia to SERBIA? I can lend a tent—I’ll be sleeping in the van. I’m looking for hiking, seeing lots of beautiful things, rivers, and meeting people... Roger, non-smoker Passing through Sète, northern Italy, Slovenia...

Hi there!

I’m planning a trip to Iceland for the first two weeks of September 2025 and I’m looking for travel companions to join me :)

The main reason for the trip: my brother is getting married in Iceland on September 11th to an Icelandic woman. My family will be gathering there for the wedding, and I’d like to take this opportunity to explore part of the country.

I’m looking for travel buddies who’d be up for renting a 4x4, since I’d love to visit remote spots like Landmannalaugar. And also people who enjoy hiking, trekking, and soaking in that incredible nature.

If anyone’s interested, feel free to reach out—I’d love to get to know you!

Hope to hear from you soon :) Mathilde

Hi there, In Italy, Cinque Terre or Puglia—I don’t have anything specific in mind yet since I’m not familiar with these regions at all. Otherwise, Spain in Andalusia, around 2 weeks starting early October. I’m not available before then. If you’ve got similar plans in the works, feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance and see you soon

Hi there, I’ve never gone hiking but I’d love to try this activity with other people (experienced or not). With or without bivouac/camping.

Share your experiences and tips on this!

See you soon ;)

Hi everyone, I often travel solo, and even though I love it, I also like the idea of traveling with someone and not just "meeting people on the spot"... I’ve already tried Facebook groups or forums, but people rarely follow through with travel plans... and I find some really lack seriousness! Do you know any other alternatives for finding travel companions? Little detail: I’m definitely not into group tours or organized trips... ^^ Thanks in advance for your feedback!

After traveling through Argentina and Chile, I’m heading back next year to visit friends. It’ll be during the southern hemisphere summer of 2026/27.

Still, I’m planning to explore quite a few nature spots where you really need a vehicle, so it’d be best to have 4 or even 5 people. Dates and duration are still flexible depending on everyone’s availability. You can also just join for a leg of the trip. The main route follows Argentina’s Ruta 40 from Cabo Vírgenes to La Quiaca, and then we can play leapfrog with the Andes. The plan is still coming together, so it’ll take a bit of time—get in touch if you’re interested!

Looking forward to chatting.

Marc

Hi! We’re two adults—my friend and I—traveling to Italy from August 18th to the 23rd. Maybe Rimini, with drinks, parties, and all that. We’d love to form a group of 3 or 4 people. 🙂

Hey everyone, I'm copy-pasting a message I wrote in English elsewhere. Hoping to find some people here! :)

Topic: Searching for travel mates in Kyrgyzstan 2nd to 4th week of July (i.e. soon) Hi all, Due to some holiday change of plans, I’m reaching out to this group to put together a team of 2-4 people willing to travel around Kyrgyzstan during July. I’ll land in Bishkek on Tuesday. I’m 42 years old and live in Lausanne. I love trekking, so it’d be great if the trip included some over the 3 weeks.
