Travel companions

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.

I’m giving it another shot to share a trip I’ve planned for next July. My itinerary starts in Almaty, Kazakhstan, with hikes around Lake Kaindy and Lake Kolsay, then the Charyn Canyon. After crossing the border into Kyrgyzstan, we’ll head to the southern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul and finally to Lake Song Kul. There’ll be walks at Fairy Tale Canyon, Seven Bulls, and Barskoon Gorge...

After a flight from Bishkek to Tashkent, we’ll visit the cities of Uzbekistan: Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva.

Transport will be by car with a driver.

We’re a couple in our sixties and would love to share this trip with another couple or two solo travelers.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.

Hi there, I’m thinking of spending about ten days in Guadeloupe between March and April—no fixed dates yet. Plans include hiking, beach time, snorkeling, and rum tasting... I’m not planning everything in advance; I like leaving room for spontaneity too. Looking to meet people aged 20 to 35, preferably active/sporty.

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.

Hello, We’re a couple in our 50s with a 12-year-old son, and we’re looking for 2 or 3 other people (ideally another couple with a child close in age to ours, but that’s not essential) to join us on a lovely excursion to Phang Nga Bay on Tuesday, 11/2/2025. There’s still space available, which would help reduce the cost per person.

Here’s the plan: An authentic and traditional small-group tour (max. 6 people) away from the crowds, on a private longtail boat from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We’ll explore numerous caves and lagoons, go for swims, visit James Bond Island, a stilt village, and more.

Price: 4000 THB per person.

Note: We’ll be staying in the southwest part of Phuket province, so it’d be best if you’re not too far away to make logistics easier.

DM me if you’re interested.

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 there,

I have a fitted van with 4 sleeping spots, a mini kitchen, and a fridge.

I’m looking for a travel partner for a 3- to 5-day van-life trip to start with—just to see if the vibe is good before planning a longer journey.

I’d like to travel abroad later, but that’ll be for other projects!

Please introduce yourself.

I’m based in the south of France!

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!

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.

I’m looking for a contemplative, very calm, and cultured person to savor the spirit of Hoi An and its nearby surroundings. Ideally, the stay would be between 3 weeks and 1 month. Ever heard of Christian Bobin? Philippe (Petit Flocon)

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

Hi there, Anyone up for a trip to Malaysia or Thailand from January 17 to February 1, 2025? It’ll depend on the flight tickets and how long we want to travel—ideally, two weeks to explore at our own pace. I’m a Parisian in my 40s, non-smoker, love walking, cultural outings, the beach, and trying local food. If any fellow traveler’s interested in planning a trip together, let me know! Looking forward to it, future travel buddy! 😎

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. Christelle

Hi there!! We’ll be on vacation in Mauritius from March 18 to 29 and have booked a private outing to swim with dolphins on March 25. The price for this outing is 430 € whether there are 2 or 4 of us. Right now, it’s just the two of us, and we’d be up for sharing this experience with two other people (which would bring the price down to about 110 € per person). The provider is okay with this.

We chose this option because the providers are usually very respectful of the animals. It also lets us leave early (5:30 AM) to be the first to see the dolphins before the horde of more "touristy" boats arrives (around 7:30 AM) and swarms the animals. (I’ve experienced this—and really didn’t enjoy it—in Malaysia with turtles, and I don’t want to go through that again.) The outing lasts 3 hours (60 to 90 minutes with the dolphins, then a snorkeling spot, then Crystal Rock).

If you're interested...

See you soon! !

My usual travel buddy isn’t available. I’m looking for someone to join me from February 13th to 28th in Egypt for a classic trip off the beaten path—Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Alexandria, and Abu Simbel.

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.

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!

Hello, We’re looking for participants to join us on the Annapurna Circuit trek from March 7 to 26, 2025. If you’d like to team up and hike this loop together, get in touch! Have a great day and see you on the adventure trail!!! Aventure

Hi there! We’re looking for people interested in joining us on a 2-day trek around the stunning Lake Otún in Los Nevados Park, Colombia. The trek is organized by Montañas Colombianas. (Dates: February 16 & 17, 2025). We’re already 2 participants, but if we form a group of 3 or more, everyone gets the discounted rate of 879,000 COP per person! Feel free to reach out if you’re interested. Nina

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 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.

Hello, I’m looking on this forum for a group to join for hiking, in Brittany or elsewhere. My time off in 2025 is from May 1st to 11th, and from May 29th to June 9th (a stretch with lots of public holidays!), so it could be during those times or others. As for destinations, I don’t have a set idea—just that it’s doable both budget-wise and physically.

Looking forward to meeting you! Anne Postaire

Hi there, I’m heading back to Réunion 13 years after my first trip to this gorgeous island, from 02/25 to 03/12 because airfare prices are great for those dates with Air Austral—557.65 € with a checked bag and 100 € less without. Departing from Paris CDG on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, at 7:00 PM and returning to Paris on Tuesday, March 12, 2025, at 5:30 AM. I know it’s not the ideal time to visit Réunion, but I’ve been there during the same season before and it went well. There are fewer tourists, the landscapes are even more stunning, and the only risk is a cyclone keeping us indoors for a few days. Otherwise, there’s always a spot on the island with sunshine, and rain usually arrives in the afternoon... I’m looking for people who, like me, love hiking and (re)discovering a region to join me!

We’ll rent a car and hike across different parts of the island most days, plus some sightseeing and a bit of swimming in natural pools or at the beach. The detailed itinerary isn’t set yet, and I’m open to suggestions—though we’ll mostly go with the weather. I’m planning several accommodations to explore more easily and cut down on driving... Estimated costs: Train to Paris and RER: 100 € per person Flights: 558 € per person (or less if we share a checked bag for two) Car rental: 520 € + 100 € for gas, split among participants Accommodation: 500 € per person Food/restaurants: 450 € per person Total: 1,610 € plus 310 € for the car if there are 2 of us, or 210 € if there are 3... See you soon

I’m proposing to team up for two weeks in Mauritania in February.

Round-trip flight Paris/Nouakchott with RAM is around 500 €. Departure around 28/01, return around 13/02.

On the ground, I’m organizing a grand tour of Mauritania with a guide I know who’s very reliable. We’ll be in a 4x4, alternating between bivouacs and small hostels. A really diverse itinerary. The circuit price is a maximum of 1200 €. Mauritanian visa: 55 €.

I already know Mauritania—it’s a low-tourism, safe, and friendly country. A chance to discover a real desert with real nomads! However, the ‘hotel’ services are basic! So I’m looking for adaptable travel companions, easy-going, and preferably with a good sense of humor.

I’m in the senior age range, but I’ve got nothing against younger folks 😊.

If you’d like to share this amazing adventure, get in touch with me.

I'd love to find a travel buddy

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

Hey surfers, hey everyone,

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! If this can help connect, I’m heading to New Zealand in May. I’d love to find someone for a short or long trip—it all depends! I’d like to visit the South Island for some amazing hikes. Ideally, a Quebecer so we can meet up beforehand. Have a great day!

Hi there, I’m looking for travel companion(s) for a little 10-day trip to Morocco. I’ll be riding my RE 500 Classic, but you can bring whatever bike you like! It’s gonna be a relaxed, easygoing ride. Since I’m recently retired, I’ve got plenty of time on my hands. If you share the same philosophy about biking and travel, feel free to get in touch.

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.
