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.
I’m heading to Vietnam for the 3rd time for a 6-week stay.
Who’s planning a trip to the central region in 2027? And who’d like to share a few days with me? The idea is a circuit of several days with a guide and driver around BUON MA THUOT, PLEIKU, and KONTUM—or just a driver, or even a circuit with two easy riders, though they’re hard to find in this area.
And if we hit it off (check my profile), why not spend even more time together?
What I’m looking for:
- Parks, nature reserves, or wildlife sanctuaries
- BUON MA THUOT and surroundings: pagodas and traditional villages—Konklor village and the suspension bridge
- PLEIKU: Bahnar villages and the ethnographic museum
- KON TUM: cathedral, market, and traditional villages
Interested in:
- Local markets, handicrafts (gongs, weaving, and basketry)
- Ceremonies or performances with gongs
- Pagodas
- Museums
- Street food
I’m not planning to travel long distances for waterfalls (unless they’re exceptional), or visits to farms . However, I’m open to any other suggestions for this trip to the Central Highlands, which are less touristy.
With prices rising, I’ve just bought my Paris/Danang and Ho Chi Minh/Paris flight ticket.

Hello!
I’m looking for a travel companion for September. I already know Bali a little, so I can go back and also explore other islands.
Interested in chatting?

Hello,
Jean Pierre from Lille, a 70-year-old retiree in good health with an athletic build.
I’d like to spend 3 weeks in Réunion where my son lives, then head to Vietnam for 2 months where I have friends in the north, and finish with 1 to 2 months in New Zealand where I don’t know anyone!
I often travel as a laid-back adventurer—no stress, but still organized.
Since I don’t like groups, I’m only looking for one person, man or woman, who’s used to traveling off the beaten path.
That’s pretty much it!
Hope to hear from you soon
🙂I’m heading to Northern Vietnam from October 1st to October 10th.
I’d love to connect with people who’ll be there at the same time.
I’m staying two days in Hanoi—if we can meet up to explore the city, that’d be great!
Also, I’d appreciate some tips on packing and which mosquito repellents to bring. Maryvonne Sanchez
Hi there! I’m looking for a travel companion—preferably around my age—to explore Vietnam for two weeks at the end of May. I’m more drawn to landscapes than cities, so I’d like to focus on the northern part starting from Hanoi. May is a great time to visit since the temperatures are more comfortable.
Just to give you an idea, I’ve got a 2-week itinerary planned with a local agency that includes a private driver, but I’m also open to co-creating our own route for a bit more adventure.
If this sounds like something you’d be up for, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Hello, I’m planning a trip to Vietnam next March and I’m looking for a travel companion. The itinerary isn’t set in stone yet, but I’d definitely like to visit the north and then decide the rest together. I’m thinking of a three-week trip with some hiking, sightseeing, and beach time. My "profile" will give you more info about me—I’d love to chat with potential travel buddies!
I’m looking for a contemplative, very calm, and cultured person to savor the spirit of Hoi An and its nearby surroundings. Ideally, the stay would be between 3 weeks and 1 month.
Ever heard of Christian Bobin?
