Travel companions

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.

Hi there,

It’s all in the title!

I’m Diane, 38, and I’m traveling to Réunion with my two kids from June 28 to July 13, 2025. I’m ideally looking for another solo mom or dad with kids to join us for some hikes on the island, especially a 2-3 day trip to explore the Mafate cirque.

The goal is to make these outings safer—you never know when a mishap or injury might happen, and it can get pretty serious when you’re the only adult.

I do a lot of hiking and some mountaineering, and my kids are good walkers.

If you’re traveling during the same period and hesitant to book certain hikes because you’re worried about being alone, feel free to reach out!

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Diane.

Hello, What a fantastic 2025 trip!

I’m looking for one or more travel companions to explore both islands from mid-September to mid-October (right after winter). Goal: Discover, wander without rushing or stress. Soak it all in and feast our eyes. Hikes (intermediate level), visits, and more...

Route not finalized—there are so many magical spots to visit and fly over. (For me, arrival and departure from Auckland.) Transportation not set yet... I love taking local transport (train, bus, plane, boat). A car is possible but not 100% certain. I want to go with the flow. Accommodation: Guesthouses, hotels, Airbnb (no camping).

A trip that brings joy and lets us enjoy ourselves without restrictions. Looking forward to hearing from you! Paace e salute😄

Hi there,

I’m planning to leave mid-December for 3 weeks to a month in Asia (see my other post) or in New Zealand, and possibly Australia as well.

I’m traveling with a backpack, on a tight budget, using local transport, but for these destinations—especially New Zealand—renting a car is an option.

I’m looking for a female travel companion to share this adventure.

Feel free to message me privately. See you soon

hello everyone I’d love to take a trip to Bali in May 2025 for about twenty days... I haven’t decided on the type of trip yet, but from what I see, flight tickets alone are expensive... I found some great deals on LastMinute.com. It doesn’t force you to stay in one place—you can move around—so if anyone (or a small group, max 3 people) is interested, thanks for your messages! JO

Hi there,

We’re two women heading to Namibia in late January / early February for 17 days. We’ll be renting a 4x4 and mixing up our accommodation (camping / hostels). We’re looking for two more travelers to join us. Adventurous spirits, positive vibes, and good humor welcome!

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

Hi there, I’ll be on Palawan Island during the last week of January and early February 2025—any other solo travelers (or accompanied ones) around at the same time? I’ve browsed the forum a bit, and there seem to be fewer activities than before, but we’ll see. Just FYI, Air France launched a direct route from CDG to Manila on December 7, 2024.

Have a great day! !

Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to South America in October 2025 by motorcycle—a 600 XT prepped for travel—and I’m looking for a road companion (with their own bike) to join me for extra safety, especially on the Guyana-Brazil leg: Cayenne to Macapá to Santarém (by boat), then the Transamazônica highway all the way to Peru. The exact dates are still flexible, and I’ll be shipping the bike with Long-Cours. The trip duration isn’t set yet—I’m retired, so time’s not an issue!

My Thai wife and I are planning to reach the Laotian border with our 4x4 camper van in 30 days (no visa required for Europeans) via Lhasa in September-October 2025. Our vehicle is currently parked in Kyrgyzstan, and we're looking for candidates to form a group of 5 vehicles.

I'm looking for travel companions for Argentina and Chile. Route: Buenos Aires / Puerto Iguazu / Ushuaia / El Calafate / El Chalten / Puerto Madryn / San Carlos de Bariloche / San Martín de los Andes / Santiago / Atacama Desert (Chile/Bolivia) / Calama airport?

Hi there, in April 2025 we’re heading out from southern France to Mongolia in our 4x4 Land Cruiser. We’d like to cross from Kazakhstan into China in early September and spend two weeks driving through Xinjiang (no visa required). We’re looking for other vehicles to join us and split the cost of the mandatory guide in China. Any takers?

Hi there, I’m planning a week in the Greater Kabylie region in 2025. I don’t have exact dates yet, but if you’re interested, get in touch so we can plan together. Norma from Paris

Hi, I already posted an ad for April for Cape Verde, the Canary Islands, etc., but it’s possible I’ll have more time off than expected and could leave for 3 weeks starting April 19. In that case, I’m considering Sri Lanka, which has great weather across much of the country, or New Zealand, where it’s autumn and everything’s cheaper with still-pleasant weather. Nepal could also be an option, even though it apparently starts raining there. I’d be available for 3 weeks starting April 19, give or take. Open to other far-flung destinations with good weather. Looking for a female travel companion. I travel backpacker-style, on a tight budget, using local transport or renting a car (for New Zealand, for example). Feel free to message me privately.

Hello, I’m planning a trip to South India for 5 or 6 weeks. If there are three or four of us, we could rent a car, which would make things faster, and the planned route might only take a month instead of a month and a half. Since it’s impossible to do everything, I’m prioritizing ** and *** backpacker spots, as well as UNESCO sites.

I’m not really into beach destinations. I’m thinking of skipping Madras (Chennai) from the itinerary since there isn’t much that’s amazing to see there.

As for GOA, I’m much more interested in Old Goa (monuments and atmosphere) than the beaches of Goa.

The dates aren’t set in stone yet. I don’t have my flight ticket yet either. I’d like to leave around January 15th and return in mid or late February 2025.

Don’t hesitate to reach out if the project appeals to you. We can then chat via personal email and later on WhatsApp video. I’m not looking for people who talk non-stop, are overly sensitive, or high-strung. Might as well be upfront about it to avoid any disappointments. 😉

Best regards, Régine from Lyon. (66 years young but 45 in my head 😏)

Hi there,

I’m leaving from Tours (Indre-et-Loire 37) on 12/22 for Seville in Andalusia, with a stop in Valladolid to arrive in Seville on 12/23.

I’ve planned some trips to Huelva, Cadiz, Malaga, and maybe Faro in Portugal, as well as Seville—visited it last February but I can show it to a travel companion this time.

I’ll be heading back from Seville on 01/02/25 with a stop in San Sebastian to get back to Tours on 01/03.

I’ve already booked an Airbnb near the Cathedral (a cute little apartment with 2 bedrooms).

Looking forward to sharing this trip!

Never heard of the Via Francigena? It’s a pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome, which you can do on foot or by bike. I walked part of it (meh!) as far as Reims. Now I’m looking for a partner to continue all the way to Rome, passing through Switzerland and the Great St. Bernard Pass! Everything’s up for discussion: stages, dates, accommodations... Feel free to get in touch via VF or at 0685054720. See you soon.
