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.

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.
Hi there, I’m a 67-year-old woman living in Belgium, in good health. I’m looking for female or male travel companion(s) for a trip to Laos lasting 3 to 4 weeks max, preferably this year still—departure in October, returning by 15/11/26 at the latest.
Possible dates also from 29/01/27 to 15/03 at the latest, still for 3 to 4 weeks.
Departure from Brussels, Paris, or another airport depending on the price. We could also meet up there.
The goal is to travel relaxed using public transport where possible, visiting places like Luang Prabang and its surroundings, Vientiane and what there is to see around it, Vang Vieng, the Bolaven Plateau, the 4,000 Islands, the Plain of Jars, ethnic villages, Nong Khiaw, going up or down the Mekong, Muang Sing, and more depending on mutual interests.
No big treks or long hikes, though we could arrange a day or two if we feel like it.
The itinerary will be planned together without setting anything in stone, so we can stay flexible and follow our moods without wondering every morning what we’ll do that day.
Looking for clean accommodations like guesthouses, with private bathrooms, and fans rather than AC.
Shared rooms are an option.
It would be great to meet beforehand if possible, otherwise via video call.
Looking forward to hearing from you!


For February 2027,
Since it's so much better to travel as a pair, I'm looking for a friendly female travel buddy to visit Laos, with a stop in northern Thailand first to explore the Chiang Mai region before heading to Laos.
I travel backpacker-style but with comfort—staying with locals or in small hotels with private bathrooms, using the country's trains and buses. I'm easygoing, love joking around and laughing, and I'm experienced with independent travel. To avoid flight surprises, it'd be best to book them 6 to 8 months in advance. If you're interested, get in touch!
Hi there,
I’m looking for a female and/or male cycling partner for bike trips in THAILAND and neighboring countries, late 2026, early 2027, or late 2027 (the best seasons for cycling).
Born in 1952, I ride slowly and not too far: 40 to 70 km/day, 2 to 4 hours per day, depending on how I feel, the terrain, the people I meet, photo stops, etc. 5 or 6 days out of 7.
Accommodation in modest guest houses.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi there,
I’m heading off for 3 weeks around 15–20/11/2025 to Laos and then Cambodia (I’ve already done Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia… so the countries won’t change 😄).
I’ve already got a rough itinerary in mind (the must-sees), including a land border crossing between the two countries after the 4000 Islands.
I’m used to traveling light with a backpack, no stress, and I love walking/hiking.
If anyone fancies joining me, feel free to reply! !

Hi everyone,
We’re a couple planning to cross China from north to south in early August (Erenhot to Mohan). A guide and agency are required, and the price is lower for groups of travelers. Our dates aren’t set yet (first week of August is almost certain).
If anyone’s interested, feel free to reach out! :-)
See you soon! Nav & Pauline

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.
Hi there! I found a 24-day Laos tour with the agency Tamera in March '25.
Who’d like to join me? It looks like there are already 2 people signed up. Just 2 more and the tour is guaranteed!
Happy holidays to everyone
Hello,
I’ve been retired since 2018 and travel solo every winter. But after my sons pointed out: “riding alone through Laos on a bike! Safety-wise, there’s room for improvement.” I’m getting older and need to be more careful. That’s the reason for this post. The idea is to look out for each other if needed, while still keeping our independence and privacy. I’ll be in Laos starting December 6th, then probably Thailand in January since I want to do some diving. After that, it’s all improvisation—nothing’s set in stone. If the destination and the concept interest you, well, we can just chat about it.
Hi there,
I’ll be in Laos and then Cambodia from mid-to-late December until early February.
I haven’t been to Laos before, but I already know Cambodia.
I plan to arrive via northern Thailand and leave from Bangkok (it’s a question of flight prices).
I’m used to traveling by local transport and staying in simple guesthouses, with internal flights if needed. Sightseeing, exploring, and connecting with locals are my priorities.
If anyone’s interested in joining for part or all of this trip, we can chat and discuss. I only have a rough itinerary so far.
See you soon,
Francoise
