Travel companions for a round-the-world trip

Salut ! je m'appelle Hugo, j'ai 20 ans , je suis un étudiant fraîchement diplômé d'un BTS dans le tourisme qui part en novembre 2026 seul avec son sac à dos pour faire un roadtrip en Asie.

J'ai déjà mon premier billet pour Bangkok mais ensuite rien de planifié. Je m'inscris donc sur ce forum dans l'attente de conseils, bons plans et pourquoi pas de rencontres sur place !

Merci d'avance 😉

We’re currently three retirees (one man and a couple) looking for one or two people to join us on a road trip through Patagonia by car.

Starting from Concepción in Chile, we’ll head to San Carlos de Bariloche (a possible meet-up point) in Argentina to reach Cabo Vírgenes. Then we’ll return via Route 40, with detours on the Chilean side (Torres del Paine, Lake General Carrera, Coyhaique).

We’ll pass by the Perito Moreno Glacier, Laguna del Desierto, Perito Moreno Park at the foot of San Lorenzo, Jeinemeni Park, Los Alerces Park, and more. A few hikes are planned.

Dates: November 6 to December 15, from Concepción back to Concepción.

Feel free to get in touch! Marc

Pour février 2027, Parce que c'est beaucoup mieux de voyager à deux, je cherche une coéquipière sympa , pour visiter le Laos en faisant auparavant un stop dans le nord de la Thailande pour visiter la région de Chiang Mai et ensuite se diriger au Laos . Je voyage en mode routarde mais confort, chez l'habitant ou petit hôtel avec salle de bain, j'utilise trains et bus du pays, je ne suis pas prise de tête, j'aime plaisanter et rire, je suis rodée aux voyages en liberté. Pour ne pas avoir de mauvaises surprises sur les vols il serait bien de les prendre entre 6 et 8 mois à l'avance. Si tu es partante contacte moi.

Bonjour à tous,

Je suis en train d'organiser un safari photo avec une amie au Kenya et nous recherchons 2 personnes pour compléter notre petit groupe.

📅 Dates : du 13 au 23 juillet 2027

📍 Itinéraire :

Masai Mara Lac Naivasha Amboseli Tsavo Est Tsavo Ouest

Nous serons accompagnés d'un guide francophone confirmé, habitué aux safaris photo et connaissant parfaitement les parcs et la faune.

💰 Tarif : 3 800 € par personne (hors vols internationaux).

Je ne cherche pas simplement des voyageurs, mais des personnes qui partagent la même philosophie : prendre le temps d'observer, respecter les animaux, profiter de chaque rencontre et, bien sûr, vivre pleinement la passion de la photographie animalière. J'ai déjà eu la chance de faire des safaris en Namibie, au Botswana et deux fois au Kenya. Malgré ces magnifiques expériences, l'Afrique continue de me faire rêver, et j'ai toujours autant d'émotion lorsque j'entends un lion rugir au petit matin ou que je vois une famille d'éléphants traverser la piste.

Que vous soyez photographe amateur ou confirmé, l'essentiel est d'avoir l'envie de partager cette aventure dans la bonne humeur, avec patience, respect de la nature... et quelques réveils très matinaux pour profiter des plus belles lumières ! Si cette aventure vous tente, n'hésitez pas à m'envoyer un message. Ce sera avec plaisir que j'échangerai avec vous !

Je cherche compagnon(e) s pour randonner sur via Alpina sur un axe Schwaz - Garmish entre le 11 et le 20 septembre ( dates butoir). Si intéressé me me contacter.

Hi everyone! I’m heading to Israel this weekend for work, and I’m going to take the opportunity to explore a bit since it’s my first time there. I’ll be working until Wednesday evening, then I’ve planned to spend Friday and Saturday in Ein Gedi near the Dead Sea—hiking up Masada for sunrise on Saturday, probably checking out the Dodim Caves on Friday, and of course, a float in the salty water. I’m also thinking of visiting Haifa on Thursday, but I’m not completely decided yet. If anyone’s around during my trip and is into hiking, maybe climbing, or rappelling, let me know! Bruno

Hello! I'm Alice and I'm 29 years old. I'm looking for motivated people for a trip to Egypt. I don’t have a specific itinerary yet—the ideal would be to go for 6-7 days in September. There’s so much to see and do, and I’m open to all suggestions.

You can send me an email at this address if you're interested :)

Can’t wait to chat with you! :)

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?! ☺️

HELLO I’m planning to travel to Senegal via Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, and Mauritania, with Saly by the sea as the final destination (or Dakar if requested). Looking for a male or female co-driver to share the road expenses, including the crossing.

EXPECTED DATE to be agreed (after Christmas 2026 or early January 2027) Vehicle: 2022 Dacia, gray, in good condition, with a valid ATA travel carnet until June 2027. FINAL DESTINATION: SENEGAL If you’re traveling light and easygoing for such a long trip, plan for a minimum of 4 days. Maximum 2 passengers for the journey. You can contact me privately. Best regards,

Hello,

I’m planning a trip of about three months in Vietnam starting in September 2026. I’ll arrive in Hanoi, where I plan to stay for around two to three weeks to explore the city at a relaxed pace, as well as several nearby spots: historical heritage, museums, traditional neighborhoods, markets, and craft villages.

After that, I’d like to gradually make my way toward the center and south of the country, depending on the people I meet, the weather, and opportunities along the way. I’m particularly looking forward to another longer stop in Ho Chi Minh City—probably two to three weeks—to discover the city’s modern history, Cholon, the markets, Southern cuisine, and take a few day trips, like to the Mekong Delta or natural areas accessible from the city. The rest of the itinerary is intentionally flexible: I’d rather linger in an interesting place than stick to a rigid schedule.

I’m especially interested in culture and history, museums, markets, local food, craft villages, and slightly less touristy spots. I also enjoy walking around a city, observing daily life, chatting over coffee, or occasionally going out in the evening. That said, I’m not looking for a very active trip or one focused mainly on nightlife.

I’m a calm, curious, and fairly independent person. I can be a bit reserved at first, but I’m sociable once I feel comfortable. I’m particularly interested in IT, artistic creation, and personal projects, and I enjoy quiet conversations about a variety of topics.

I’ll be traveling on a fairly budget-friendly basis: youth hostels, local transport, street food, and small restaurants, with the occasional splurge on an activity or slightly more comfortable accommodation. Of course, everyone would keep their own budget and independence, while sharing certain expenses when it makes sense.

The idea would be to start by meeting in Hanoi for a visit, a meal, or a few days together, then simply see if our paces and interests align. There’s no need to travel together for the full three months—it could be a day, a few days, a few weeks, or longer, depending on how well we get along. I like sharing parts of the journey and activities while still having the freedom to take time alone or do some sightseeing separately.

I’m open to meeting people, with a preference for a female travel companion. My approach is mainly friendly, without any particular expectations, though I’m open to a connection developing naturally.

Feel free to message me to share your dates, itinerary, and travel style.

hi, my wife and I are planning a trip to South America for a year or more, depending on our mood. We’ll be leaving from either Cayenne or Montevideo, depending on the departure date.

We’re planning to travel around the whole continent and have plenty of experience traveling by 4x4.

If anyone’s interested in joining us for the whole trip or just part of it, leave us a message and we’ll get back to you. Possible departure at the end of 2027.

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, We’re a group of three people aged 63 to 65, planning to do the Kangchenjunga trek in April 2026 with a Nepali friend. We’d like to have a total of six participants to share costs. If you’re interested, drop us a message. Gilles

Hi everyone! We see some amazing plans and also posts that go unanswered despite being for pretty popular destinations. We want to liven things up to help you travel more often with companions and in complete safety. Let us know what’s missing for you!

What’s your main hurdle when it comes to using this section?

Fear of not sharing the same interests as the other person. Difficulty managing money and bookings as a group. Lack of seriousness (people who don’t respond or back out). Time spent organizing the itinerary from A to Z.

What would help you the most to take the plunge?

A system of "verified" profiles (identity/trust).[/li> Pre-built itineraries by the forum where you just need to join in.[/li>

Thirty-seven years ago, I crossed Lapland on skis in winter... Four years later, I returned by bike to the Lofoten Islands. Now, I’d like to go back to this stunning country by sea kayak—a sport I’ve been practicing for the past 10 years. If it’s possible to meet up with one or more people for this little trip this year, it’s pretty quick to organize. Otherwise, in 2026, I’d love to kayak around Norway as well. If you’d like to join me for part of the route, that’d be awesome. Some sections require solid kayaking skills and excellent physical condition. I’m 58 and retired this year—in September—due to disability. Looking forward to your questions and/or interest in joining! Improvisation is often part of the plan!!

Hi there, I’m looking for a travel buddy. I live on Réunion Island. I’m 65 years old. I’ve traveled a lot already—I’m easygoing. We can decide on destinations together. Just throwing this out there like a message in a bottle....

Hello! For the few who’ve traveled to Iran, loved the country, and discovered its incredible thousand-year-old beauty and the amazing kindness of its people—one of the last places still untouched by mass tourism— I’d have loved to go back, but given the current situation, it’s not possible right now, and likely won’t be for a long time. In the meantime, a neighboring country, Uzbekistan, definitely deserves a visit! I discovered it through photo reports, and it reminds me a lot of Iran. So, I’m planning to check it out. On foot, on horseback, or by car 😄—this time, I’m going with a car 🚗😊😍 I’m looking for an independent, motivated travel companion to explore this seemingly wonderful country. Who’s in? ⭐

I'm looking for a co-driver for a road trip from PARIS to the NORTH CAPE. My co-driver had an issue and can't come with me. The trip lasts 1 month and covers about 12,000 km. We'll cross 6 countries: Germany, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Finland. My vehicle is a RENAULT KANGOO.

Hello

I’m looking for people who might be interested in joining me on one or more self-sufficient treks, no agencies, between Zanskar and Ladakh this summer. My plans: Trek from Songde to Phuktal Gompa (return by hitching on the new road to Padum) Trek from Lingshe to Kanji (hitch to Lingshe using the new Padum–Nimmu road) Trek from Leh to Hundar (Nubra Valley) via Lasermo La Trek from Korzok (Tso Moriri) to Kibber via Parang La, probably after September 10th (there are 3 buses a month on the 10th, 20th, and 30th between Leh and Korzok) I’m pretty used to long-distance treks with a heavy backpack (self-sufficiency is key 😄!) and reasonably fit for my age 😅 (the big 5-0!). Feel free to reach out with any ideas if you’re interested, and we can figure out what’s doable together... Looking forward to hearing from you! Raf

Hi there and happy New Year! I’d love to explore Greece or Austria in August 2026 for ten days. If anyone’s interested, feel free to get in touch. Thanks

Looking for a travel partner to visit the Azores for 2 to 3 weeks starting around September 14th. Simple hotels or even better, staying with locals, and a rental car to get around freely. Sharing costs, of course. A few easy hikes. Itinerary to be decided together—plenty of room for spontaneity. Good vibes guaranteed!

Hi there,

I’ve already visited Southern India. Next up is Northern India for 2 months, from Gujarat all the way to Delhi, passing through Madhya Pradesh, Kolkata, Bengal, Bihar, Punjab, and Rajasthan. My itinerary is still in the works.

Anyone up for joining me on this little adventure?

See you soon, Brigitte

I'm looking for 4 to 10 adult participants for a road trip starting from Cebu City or Mactan. The tour costs 2,000 €, to be divided by the number of participants. Hotels, meals, and drinks are at your own expense. Ferries and pumpboats are included, but not terminal fees. This is a 14-day journey visiting more than 7 islands:

Camotes Island Malapascua Island Kalanggaman Island Bantayan Island Negros Iloilo Boracay Island Sumilon Island

That’s where we’ll part ways for those who want to visit Siquijor Island independently.

It’s a great opportunity to explore a large part of the Visayas and make the most of your vacation—unlike many I’ve seen who didn’t. I’ve been married to a Cebuana for 17 years. We have two kids, one of whom was born in Cebu. We live in France and own a house in Cebu that’s unoccupied, like many foreigners married to Filipinas. For those who want to do this tour with kids, I suggest finding the same number of adults so you don’t have to pay for their participation—1 adult = 1 child.

Best regards, and see you soon in Cebu and/or Paris.

Hi there, I’m looking for a travel companion (male or female) for a trip to Algeria, including a few days in Kabylie. Preferably someone of Algerian origin or nationality, aged between 50 and 60. It would be for about a week—we can decide on the dates together. Feel free to DM me.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Norma from Paris

Hello, I’m a 76-year-old "senior" who’s still active and full of energy. I ski, swim, hike, and keep traveling a lot, including to the other side of the world. My most recent trip: The Philippines (winter 2026). I’d love to gather a small group of friendly seniors to first plan some short trips in France together. If everything goes well, we could venture farther and for longer. What matters to me in a foreign country: a change of scenery, trying to understand the locals and their way of life, architectural heritage (cities in particular), and of course the beauty of natural sites. I’m not really into "road trips." I live in Paris and am available the second half of August and the first week of September (2026). Nothing’s set yet for 2027. Hope to meet you soon! Granviajera.

hi I'm looking for a travel companion for a week—destination to be decided.... Jallane

🚐 Looking for a travel companion for a big adventure! 🌄 For the summer :) I want to hit the road again like I’ve done before—crossing the United States by car or camper van and living all kinds of unforgettable experiences. The idea isn’t to follow a rigid itinerary. We’ll go wherever the mood takes us! Discover new places, meet people, visit cities, national parks, offbeat spots, and just enjoy the moment. For accommodation, I’m open to anything: • Couchsurfing (if it still exists!) • Tent • Truck stops • Airbnb • Small motels • Or any other option that comes up along the way I’ve got several weeks, maybe even months, ahead of me. No pressure, no packed schedule. We’ll drive 8 to 10 hours if we feel like it, stay a few days in a place we love, then move on. Why not extend the adventure all the way to Mexico? I’m 40, a cheerful, spontaneous, and easygoing woman. I’m looking for someone who loves adventure, is flexible, open-minded, and wants to enjoy the trip without overcomplicating things. The goal: collect memories, live unique experiences, and fully embrace the freedom of the road. If this adventure speaks to you, drop me a line! 🌄🚐✨

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to share a little 10–15-day bike trip in August (dates are flexible, but before the last week of the holidays). I’ve already done several bike trips (Serbia, Romania, the Pyrenees, Massif Central, Creuse, etc.) and have all the gear I need. The goal is mainly the journey itself—discovering beautiful landscapes (I take a lot of photos with a proper camera 😊) and getting a break from civilization. Major roads? Not my thing! I’d rather head to the mountains, maybe tackle a few cols, but it’s not about performance. If you’re up for sharing a trip, maybe even abroad, feel free to get in touch!

Have a great day, everyone!
