looking for travel companion

Hello, I’m 65 years old, from Montpellier, and I love traveling—discovering new countries, new cultures, but most of all, meeting people and enjoying what life still has to offer. I’m pretty curious, unconventional, and love living life to the fullest. I enjoy stepping off the beaten path. Routine is definitely not my thing! 😄 I’m looking for men or women, roughly between 35 and 80 years old, who share the same love for travel and, most importantly, the same mindset: open-minded, positive, tolerant, curious, with a sense of humor and a desire to enjoy life. I appreciate people who embrace differences, aren’t judgmental, and with whom you can talk about anything, laugh, and put the world to rights over a good meal or a drink… in short, people who love life! 🥂 Just to clarify, my search is strictly platonic, with no flirting or ambiguity. The idea is to make meaningful connections, share outings, getaways, and maybe even future trips together. ✈️ I’ve already been lucky enough to travel to Thailand, Turkey, Israel, Italy, Cuba, Greece & some Greek islands, and the United States… and Japan is currently in the works. For 2027, the list of destinations is long: Vietnam, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Tahiti… and more! 🌍 Why not start by simply getting to know each other over a coffee, a meal, or an outing? If the vibe is right, we can then plan little getaways or trips together. I’m thinking of a small group of 2 to 5 people max, to keep the atmosphere friendly and really enjoy each other’s company. And of course, everyone keeps their independence and books their own room. We share the trips and the good times, not necessarily the room! 😉 I’m not looking to collect contacts. I’m looking for the right people. So, if you recognize yourself in this mindset, message me privately, and we’ll chat and see where it takes us. Traveling is wonderful. Traveling with the right people is even better. 🌍✈️🥂

hi everyone,

I’m on leave starting November 10th, and I haven’t planned anything yet. No tickets in hand, but that won’t be long now—tomorrow at the latest! 🙂 I’d love to know if there are any solo travelers out there this November, and where? I’m torn between Japan, Mauritius, Réunion, Sri Lanka, Colombia, etc...

Your turn, globetrotters!

I arrive in Hanoi on November 16th... then visiting Sapa and Dien Bien Phu by bus and motorbike (125-150cc) over two weeks. Interested in sharing part or all of this route? Leave me a message. See you soon

Hi there! I love discovering new cities, nature, culture, hiking, and little getaways without breaking the bank. I’m looking for friendly, motivated people to share trips or weekends with, whether in Europe or anywhere else. I’m open to ideas and like to chat a bit before diving into a plan.

If you have a destination in mind, a travel project, or just don’t want to go alone, feel free to reply. I’d love to make some great connections and share some amazing moments!

Looking forward to hearing from you, Elise

Hello from the Marseille area! I’m planning to discover China in the summer of 2027. For now, it’s just a *huge* desire—I don’t have an itinerary yet, but I’ll get to it. The idea is to spend 17 days in small towns around Shanghai.

I never travel with agencies—I’ve always traveled independently with my husband, but since he took his last trip without me, I haven’t taken the plunge to travel solo. So, I’m looking for a travel companion.

I’m 66 years old.

Hi, I’m Stéphanie, I’m 53, and I live in Saint-Étienne. I’m looking for fellow travel enthusiasts in my area to meet up, swap stories, and turn our shared travel dreams into reality.

Hi there! I’m planning a trip to Japan in November for about three weeks. I’m flexible on dates and duration. I’ve started drafting an itinerary that we can tweak based on everyone’s interests. I’m into Japanese culture and food, temples, hot springs, and street food… Who’s in?! ☺️

Hi there,

I’m heading to Vietnam starting January 15, 2027, with a planned arrival in Da Nang.

I’m preferably looking for a female travel companion, ideally French-speaking, who’d like to share part of the trip in a fun and relaxed way.

Here’s the plan:

* Exploring Da Nang and its surroundings. * Excursions, beaches, and boat trips. * Restaurants, bars, and nights out. * Sightseeing and discovering the country. * Sharing great moments and unforgettable experiences.

I’m sociable, open-minded, and easygoing. The idea is simply to get to know each other, share activities, and make the most of the trip without overthinking it.

If you’re traveling around the same time and this sounds appealing to you,

Looking forward to meeting you. 😊

Hello,

My name’s Stéphane, I’m French, I’m 55, and I currently live in French Polynesia.

I’m planning to travel around the world for one to two years—or even longer—on a reasonable budget. Nothing’s set in stone yet: no dates, no itinerary. I’m open to any suggestions, except for the African continent, which isn’t part of my plans for now.

I love Latin America and would love to explore it more. I speak a little English—I get by—but I adore Spanish and I’m learning the language with pleasure.

I’m looking for someone cheerful, who loves life and wants to share good times through communication, connection, and good vibes.

The idea is to travel without rushing, to discover countries and their people, and to leave room for the unexpected. We could share a few weeks, a country, or even more, depending on how well we get along.

I’d like to travel with someone who speaks French or Spanish. We’d build our shared steps together, splitting costs fairly while respecting each other’s budget, pace, and independence.

Looking forward to chatting and getting to know each other! 😊 Stéphane

Hi, I’m planning a trip to Australia in July 2027 and was thinking of spending 3 nights at Uluru / Ayers Rock between the 4th and 7th of July. Staying on-site is really expensive, except for camping, but with short days, it’s not very practical... There are affordable 4-person dorms, but they’re off-limits to minors unless you book all 4 beds. It’s just me and my son... It’s a long shot, but if you’re reading this and have the same issue, maybe we can work something out... 😉

Good morning!

I’ve seriously got the itch to head back to Indonesia!

I was lucky enough to spend all of September between Java and Bali, and I completely fell in love—my only thought was to go back!

I was deeply moved by that special atmosphere: the ever-present spirituality, the lush landscapes, the rice fields, the temples, that laid-back way of life, and above all, the incredible kindness of the Balinese people.

I’d love to go back in March 2027 to celebrate Nyepi (the Balinese New Year) and would be thrilled to find a travel buddy to share the trip with. So if you're tempted, let me know! 😊

Hi there, If you're in Cambodia next month like me, feel free to reach out for a drink, a meal, or to share a little journey together! Independent travel with no fixed plans (slow travel), using public transport and staying in homestays, guesthouses, or small family-run hotels. Hope to see you soon maybe!

I'm planning a cycling trip to Laos from December 1st to 18th. I was thinking of extending my trip to Northern Vietnam, but the two travel companions who were supposed to join me have backed out. I'm now looking for one or two cyclists to accompany me for about two weeks. The itinerary can be decided together. Looking forward to hearing from you. Titekiroul

If you ever want to travel part of the way together, just let me know; Norma from Paris

Hi there, I’m planning to explore Laos or Thailand in January and I’m looking for a travel partner for the whole trip or just part of it. I’ve started mapping out a route for Laos—I prefer local transport and simple accommodations. If this sounds interesting to you, let me know, but the dates aren’t flexible. See you soon.

Hello,

I’m planning to go to Oman in December (the 9th, if there aren’t too many geopolitical issues) for a month. I canceled this trip last year because of the war. I’m flying with Pegasus for 350 € round trip (easy to cancel in case of war). Is there anyone interested in sharing a car rental? Man or woman. I’m 77 years old and travel a lot around the world. See you soon,

Patrice

Hello everyone, 🙂

I’m thinking of chasing some sunshine in Sicily in mid-November (from the 7th to the 15th), mixing visits, great hikes, discoveries, gastronomy, and more! I’d like to head to Palermo, Catania, Mount Etna, Syracuse, and so on. I imagine the island will be really peaceful at this time of year. I’m 45, very adaptable, and curious—just looking to enjoy the experience.

If any kind souls are interested in joining, don’t hesitate to reach out!

See you soon, maybe! Grazie🙂

Antoine

Hello, I’m Anne, 70 years old, I live in Cannes, in the south of France, and I’m especially fond of carnivals. I’ve already been to those in Brazil (Rio, Salvador de Bahia), the one in Colombia (Barranquilla), and a few in Europe. I’d love to experience the one in Bolivia (Oruro), which is very famous—it takes place from February 4th to 9th. Since it’s not the best time to visit this region, I’ll continue on to either Chile or northern Argentina (Salta, etc.). Anyone interested? I know it’s a bit last-minute... but I’m giving it a shot, otherwise I’ll go alone through an agency. Thanks for your replies, and happy travels to everyone!

Hi there, does a snorkeling-focused trip to Raja Ampat sound appealing to you? I’m in! But not alone—it’s safer and more fun to be at least two, plus we can share some costs (like boat trips) and the beauty of the world. I’ll be available from early December 2026 to mid-February 2027. I’m 67, live in Réunion, and can’t dive anymore, but I’m still passionate about the ocean, so I’ve switched to snorkeling. If this adventure interests you, let me know so we can plan—apparently, it’s not something you can improvise last-minute, and it does require a budget (mine isn’t huge, so I’m ruling out cruises over 5,000 €).

Hi, I'm looking for a travel companion to join me in a camper van for 3 months, starting late December or early January 2027 to explore Morocco. I've been there several times already... Any route suggestions are open for discussion. I have my dog with me...Patrick

hi there, I’m heading to Colombia in December 2026 for 3 months (visiting other countries is possible too). Backpacker style, traveling light. I’m a 67-year-old retiree... if you’re interested, let me know! Have a great day, Patrice

Hi there! I’d like to visit Kabylie, specifically around Draa el Mizan (Greater Kabylie). I’m looking for someone who’d like to join me before the end of this year, for about a week—we can decide the dates together. If you’re already there and can give me some tips, that’d be really great, thanks!

Hello, Looking for a travel partner for a trip of at least 2 months, up to 3 months possible. Departure from PARIS on January 27th, one-way flight to HANOI, VIETNAM. Then by train and minibus (I’ve already done the route up to) SAPA (rice terrace ethnic region), then DIEN BIEN PHU, crossing the border to northern LAOS, MUANG KHUA by local boats for about 300 km with stops in MUANG NGOI, NONG KIAW, then continuing on the MEKONG to arrive by boat in LOUANG PRABANG. Stop durations in towns depend on the sights to visit. “If it’s good, we extend; if we’re done, we move on.” The rest by bus, train, and boat: VANG VIENG, VIENTIANE, THAKHET, SAVANNAKHET, PAKSE, CHAMPASSAK. Crossing into Cambodia: KRATIE, PHNOM PENH, KAMPONG KHLEANG (floating and stilt village), SIEM REAP (Angkor). Crossing into Thailand at POIPET (I’ve already spent a month in Thailand). BAN PHE by boat to KO SAMET (white sand, cocktails). Return via BANGKOK. Flight PARIS-HANOI and return BANGKOK-PARIS around 800 €. This is a flexible outline, but I’ve thoroughly researched this trip—the sights to see, charming little hotels with nice settings when possible, even the bars and restaurants are marked on my phone. Budget-wise, it’s not as expensive as you might think. I’m not looking for luxury, just authenticity: cheap little hotels, same for food. I’m 67 years old, have an international driver’s license for cars and motorcycles, and am well-experienced with this kind of road trip. I’m waiting to book my flight (as soon as possible) in case I get a response to travel together or meet up in Hanoi. Possible to go as far as VIENTIANE. My only requirements are: A small backpack, max 5 kg, to move around easily (for moto-taxis, no checked luggage on planes or buses), and absolutely no rolling suitcases (train station sidewalks when looking for a hotel). Also, enjoy walking (I walk a lot to explore)—it can go up to 10 km spread over the day. I’m open to 1 or 2 women who want to “feel secure” or try the 5 kg challenge (I’ve had several female travel partners who survived). I also adapt to vegan travelers. Don’t hesitate to contact me. Bruno.

Lovers of vast open spaces and beautiful journeys 🌍. For an undetermined duration, I plan to continue a trip I started last year (Cuzco/Puerto Montt). Departing from Puerto Montt in Chile to the southernmost city in the world, Puerto Williams. Transportation: buses or short-term car rentals and ferries (sailing through the fjords). Accommodations: hospedajes or dorms depending on what we find. Food: markets, street food, local restaurants, and homemade meals—without ruling out little treats. Passing through PUYUHUAPI, COYHAIQUE, PUERTO RÍO TRANQUILO (Marble Caves), PUERTO NATALES (Torres del Paine Park), crossing into Argentina (El Chaltén—trekking capital, El Calafate—Perito Moreno Glacier), PUNTA ARENAS, all the way to the southernmost city in the world, PUERTO WILLIAMS (on Navarino Island) 🏝️ before crossing the Beagle Channel again to reach USHUAIA and heading back up through Argentina—maybe even making our way to Paraguay. No set timeline. The dates aren’t finalized yet. The ideal time for Patagonia is December to February, but that’s also peak season and more expensive. October/November or March/April might be better—still to be decided. Calling all adventurers and sports enthusiasts! If this adventure tempts you, get in touch. Meeting beforehand to get to know each other and see if we click is a must. Thanks, and see you soon.

South Korea 2027 – Looking for a travel companion

Hello everyone,

I’m planning a trip to South Korea in 2027 and would love to meet someone interested in sharing this wonderful experience.

I’m a retired, curious, and independent traveler who enjoys taking my time to explore a country, soak in its atmosphere, observe the daily life of its people, and discover neighborhoods, markets, local traditions, and culture.

I don’t want to rush from one tourist site to another but would rather stay longer in the places I choose to truly get to know them.

I’m considering a trip of about three to four weeks, including Seoul, Jeju Island, Busan, and Gyeongju. Extending the trip to Japan could also be an option.

My dates are flexible: April or September-October 2027, or even another time we can discuss. The duration, itinerary, and budget are all open to planning together.

I’m looking for someone independent, open-minded, curious, and easygoing to build this trip with—someone who values sharing, respect, and mutual freedom.

If this way of traveling resonates with you, I’d be happy to chat!

See you soon, maybe!

Hello, I’m a French guy visiting Thailand for the first time in November (starting on the 12th), and I’d love to share part of the itinerary with a French woman in her 40s or older. Just to clarify, I can get by in English. Why not combine our strengths and make the most of this trip? Thanks,

Hey there, beautiful and diverse travel community,

With just one day left (if that!) before I arrive in Florence for a quick getaway, I’m throwing this message into the (Mediterranean) sea in the hope of walking a few steps (wearing out my shoes?) alongside a fellow traveler eager to soak up the scents of Florence—a still-vibrant relic of the Renaissance era. It’d be a sensory awakening without which we’d miss the very essence of discovering lands we too rarely consider.

Open-mindedness, tolerance, a touch of madness (big or small), and Difference are all welcome—even actively sought after!

To keep it simple and less psychedelic, here are the key points of my autumn trip to Tuscany: - Arriving in Florence on the morning of Friday, October 9th - Leaving on Sunday evening, October 11th, to head back to my native Bouches-du-Rhône. That leaves just under three full days to soak up the intensity of Florence and the historical heritage of this famously romantic city. - Since I booked this trip last-minute, I’ll be staying in a youth hostel for both nights. - My sightseeing plans are flexible but will definitely include museums, gardens, and squares/fountains. I fell in love with the Villa Medici in Rome during a previous trip in 2025, so I’d love to continue in that vein.

I didn’t mention it earlier, but I’m traveling solo. I’m 38 years old, but with fewer stardust particles than light-years of flight hours under my belt. I speak Shakespeare’s language moderately well (but compared to my Spanish, it could be worse!) and can handle Cervantes’ language well enough that I’m not terrified of tackling Italy with nothing but Don Quixote’s idioms as my linguistic weapons! Luckily, with my basic grasp of Molière’s language, I might just avoid the Devil and dream of Olympus and the Colosseum (or Olympique de Marseille and Michael Olisé ⚽).

To anyone interested in making this early autumn anything but dull: let’s connect! If I come off as too much, I’ll dial it back—no need to play the tough guy or pull a Sylvester Stallone act if we cross paths. Otherwise, I might end up annoying you to the point of cracking (like a cricket?) or wearing you down (like the cicada—"igual"?), and I’d really rather not end up... alone (thankfully, I don’t have a clone). ;-)

Ciaooo bello/a(s) Reachable via private message or phone during the day to gauge compatibility. Florence: "I think, therefore I (follow) you." Italy, you haunt me, so I’m diving in! LaurENT, take me as I am or leave me

Hello everyone,

I’d like to travel with one or two women, preferably, for a 3-month discovery stay in Tokyo this summer, from mid-June to early September. (Dates are flexible.) Think dynamic retirees!

1) The cheapest flight ticket right now (I checked this morning) is around 720 €. If we don’t wait too long, that is—prices will climb fast.

2) Once there, sharing a room costs about 300 € per month. Food is very affordable, and the yen is at a really low rate. Would Geneva Airport with Air China work for you?

3) Would 84 days work for you (from June 10 to around September 2, flexible)? Tokyo is the world’s largest city, with 30 million people, and it’ll be *very* hot.

4) We’ll face a major heatwave in France, but Japan will be just as scorching (2027 is an El Niño year due to climate change).

5) As long as we share a place—even a tiny room with bunk beds—we can still be independent. But knowing we’re teammates, flying together, returning to France together, and supporting each other on the ground is really reassuring.

If these conditions interest you, we can talk on the phone to discuss next steps. I live in Strasbourg.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Best regards,

Lililotus
