Travel companions · Italy

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🙂

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

Hi there, I’ll be in Trani, Puglia from October 3rd to 5th. If you’re in the area, we could meet up to explore the town and its surroundings (Barletta, Molfetta). If you’re into photography, the cathedrals overlooking the harbors are a must at sunset. See you soon!

Hi there,

Here comes the time for well-deserved holidays. Breathing in the fresh air, swimming, hiking... and enjoying an apéro 😎

I’m looking for travel buddies to co-create a getaway around Lake Annecy.

The idea is to explore with day hikes (no pressure, no performance vibes) and discover stunning views, local history... Try canoeing, mountain biking; check out street art performances, music festivals, art exhibitions—anything that makes for a good time.

I’m also open to other suggestions: the Pyrenees, Crete, Sardinia, Lanzarote, or anywhere else here or there 🙂

Holidays in a zen, laid-back spirit—no stress, no grumpiness, no ambiguity.

Energy. Culture. Sharing. Respect. Curiosity to discover the world. Chill vibes.

If you’ve got ideas for trips mixing cultural walks, heritage, music, arts, hiking, etc. (in France or abroad), hit me up to chat. Dates, locations, activities... we’ll figure it out together.

We can discuss via messaging and/or over coffee/ice cream in Paris, Marne-la-Vallée, or Meaux.

Marc,

(already 54 years old! *sigh*. From Seine-et-Marne)

Hello,

I’m a 70-year-old retiree looking for two or three travel companions to visit Sicily, which I haven’t been to, in May or June. I’m also planning to visit Vietnam in September. I love exploring, learning, and meeting new people, and I’m adaptable, but it’s not easy to find people with the same interests. Team spirit is important to me. I travel on a mid-range budget. Looking forward to your comments. You can reach me at: maryse.21 @orange.fr Best regards,

Hi there, A little week or rather ten days—second week of June—in Sardinia sound good to you? Let me know if you're interested. Departing from Sète with Corsica Ferry and returning the same way. We’ll be moving around, spending a max of 2 days in any one town. If you love walking, perfect. See you soon! Thanks

Hi there,

I’m looking for a travel companion (or companions), preferably someone living in northern France or Belgium, for these two trips. Departure from Charleroi.

I’m 62 years old, live in the Eure region, and my main goal is to meet a travel companion who lives in my area or nearby so we can get to know each other before planning any trips. I’m energetic, easygoing, curious, and love discovering new places, going for walks, and having simple conversations. The idea is to meet someone I click with, share travel ideas, and then build a project together in a relaxed way. The Cinque Terre in Italy in early October is one idea I like, but it’s not set in stone—I’m open to other destinations or suggestions based on our shared interests. Ideally, I’d like to find someone within a reasonable distance so we can meet easily and, when the time comes, travel together from Paris. A first exchange via messages, and possibly a meet-up, will help us see if our expectations align. If this approach resonates with you, feel free to reach out via private message. Looking forward to chatting!

Looking to (re)discover the Lombard capital! A retired teacher in my sixties, I’m searching for a serious and motivated travel companion interested in Italian art and culture for a short stay in Milan at the end of May: visiting monuments and museums, friendly chats, and sharing expenses.

Hi there, I’m looking for someone to travel with me to Venice from February 6th to 13th, 2026—we’d share a hotel room with twin beds, of course. I’ll be flying from Marseille with Ryanair.

Otherwise, maybe next year.

Hi! I’m 66 and I’m looking for a travel companion for a 15-day road trip in September 2025 to Puglia. We’d pick up a rental car at Brindisi or Bari airport and book 4 apartments to explore the region. Thanks for your replies! Silvana

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

See you soon, Philippe

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.

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).

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! 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. 🙂

Hi there,

I’m looking for travel companions for summer 2025!

I’d like to stay in Europe—why not Spain? I’m after beaches, hotels with pools now and then, and a few sightseeing stops.

A road trip could be fun—anyone interested?

Thanks! !

Hi there, I’m looking for one or more travel companions for this summer. I’m 32 and open to all ideas—feel free to message me to discuss our plans. Thanks!

Hi there. I’m looking for a travel companion for a week in the Perugia area of Italy. I’m an early to bed, early to rise kind of person. Sightseeing, walks, exploring.

Hi there, I’m looking for one or more women to join me in Italy—specifically Genoa—at the end of May or in June. Departure from Charleroi, with round-trip tickets currently around 60 €. We can figure out accommodation together afterward—separate rooms, of course. Once we’re there, we could take the train to the Cinque Terre. If you’re from northern France or Belgium, feel free to get in touch!

Hi there, I’m looking for travel companions around my age (between 18 and 25) to go hiking in the Alps at the end of July 2025. I’d like to go for 3 to 5 days. It’s my first time doing a multi-day hike, so even though I’m sporty and motivated, I’d prefer something not too tough. If you have any hiking suggestions or want to join me, I’m in! !

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?

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

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, 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 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, 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
