Travel companions · Asie du Sud-Est

Hi! I’m Hugo, I’m 20, and I’m a recent graduate with a tourism BTS. I’m heading off alone in November 2026 with my backpack for a road trip across Asia.

I already have my first flight ticket to Bangkok, but nothing else is planned yet. So I’m signing up on this forum hoping for tips, good deals, and maybe even meet-ups while I’m there!

Thanks in advance! 😉

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!

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.

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, I’m posting this message not for myself but for my daughter. She doesn’t really have the time to do it and, to be honest, she’s not too hopeful either. If a female traveler is interested, I’ll of course pass along my daughter’s contact details.

The Message: I’m looking for a female travel companion for a 10-day trip around Southeast Asia in October 2026. I’ve already been to Cambodia and Myanmar, as well as some Thai islands. My first idea was to visit northern Thailand (around Chiang Mai), but I’m open to any other plans in Asia. I’ve traveled a lot with my parents or friends, but this time, no one’s available. I feel comfortable traveling alone, but from experience, I love being able to share those discovery moments with someone else. I’m a dynamic and sporty young woman, and a firefighter by profession. Don’t hesitate to get in touch! Alison

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.

Hey everyone! Last-minute booking :-) I’ll be back in Thailand from May 12 to 26, and my itinerary is a blank page! Since it’s only two weeks, I’ll be bouncing between Bangkok, Hua Hin, Pattaya, and Koh Samet. My plan is zero stress and 100% discovery: beaches, walks, sightseeing, street food, nights out... If you’re around and want to share some spontaneous moments, hit me up! The more, the merrier! See you soon!

Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip in April 2026 and I’m looking for a travel companion. My destination isn’t completely set yet, but I’m leaning toward the Philippines. Other options are open too, like Brazil or Argentina. The idea is to share the trip and the good times in a respectful and relaxed vibe. So if you’re interested in my post, don’t hesitate to reach out. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Got my flight ticket! Arriving in Bangkok on January 9th. Returning to France on March 9th. I’ll meet up with a travel buddy upon arrival for 2 or 3 weeks. 3 days in Bangkok, then heading south. What’s next for destinations?... If you’re also traveling solo, we can stay in touch and maybe our paths will cross. Looking forward to hearing from you in a friendly and cheerful spirit! Jeanette (Paris area)

Hi there!

I’m looking for a friendly female travel buddy to fly with me from Nice in February 2026. I’ve been keeping travel journals for 15 years now… and I know Southeast Asia pretty well!

If you love laughing, beaches, markets, sea excursions, or just heading out for a drink and dancing when there’s nothing planned the next morning—if you’re tidy and respectful (we’ll split accommodation costs and some transport, like tuk-tuks), then welcome aboard!

Here’s the plan: We’ll fly from Nice to either CEBU or PUERTO PRINCESA, depending on which ticket is cheapest. Speaking of which, I’m on a tight budget, so I don’t mind a 15-hour layover (for example, often in Singapore—we can even explore the city by taking the MRT!) because long layovers can save me 400 €–500. I’m in no rush—I’d rather save that money for our trip!

We’ll spend three full weeks there.

Just to be clear upfront so there are no surprises or misunderstandings: I’m looking for someone free from around February 20th to March 15th. We’ll leave Nice together. - Valid passport (must be valid for more than six months after our return date). - E-Travel form must be filled out online 72 hours before departure—**mandatory**, or no boarding!

We’ll also book a round-trip domestic flight in advance (cheaper than last-minute).

Our itinerary includes CEBU, BOHOL and the surrounding areas, then a flight to PUERTO PRINCESA, EL NIDO, PORT BARTON, etc.… basically, a dream trip!

Who’s joining me? (Ages 20–70 are fine, as long as you love to laugh and are free for three weeks!) Welcome! Caroline

Hello, Looking for a female travel companion to go to Thailand at the end of January 2026 for 1 month if possible. I’m a 66-year-old retiree and I love traveling. If you don’t have any plans, why not?!!! Best regards, Sylvie

Hi, I’m Ruben, I’m 22, live in the south of France, and I’m finishing my studies. I’d like to plan a trip for September-October or October-November. Since this would be my first long-haul experience, I’m a bit hesitant to go alone. So if anyone’s interested in traveling with me—or even sharing several parts of the trip together—I’m open to it. I don’t have any specific expectations. Age and gender don’t matter. I’m pretty mature, open-minded, and can hold a conversation or build a temporary friendship with just about anyone.

For this trip, my main interests will be: cultural visits, sports (personal hobby), nightlife, meeting locals, and fun activities.

DM me if you’d like more details. Thanks.

Hello,

I’m leaving between December 15 and 20, 2025, for about three months, with a first stop in Bali—but as short as possible because it’s way too touristy 😅

I’d like to head to the Moluccas Islands via East Timor. And also see what comes up along the way—Lombok, Gili, Flores… As this little route unfolds, nothing’s set in stone or booked in advance 😊

The advantage of Timor and the Moluccas is that the climate is different from the rest of Indonesia, so less rain.

Nothing’s fixed or booked ahead—just going with the flow, following encounters, everyone’s desires, and enjoying places that aren’t too touristy yet.

Beaches, snorkeling, hiking, and chilling out… Just enjoying life, really 😊

Interested? Get in touch—I’d love to chat about it! 😍

Hi, Everything’s already in the title ;) I’m looking for people who love partying and want to join me there during that time. I already know the place well, so no worries about figuring out what to do or where to go. See you soon! Olivier

Hello, Active and fit senior here—I’ll be in Thailand and neighboring countries for 3 months starting mid-December. I know these places well after spending many winters there over the years, but I’m not keen on traveling solo anymore, even though you do meet people along the way when you’re on your own. I haven’t bought my flight ticket yet. If you’d like to chat about it, I’d be happy to. Jeanette

Hi everyone,

I’ll be in Bali from December 8th to the 29th, traveling solo. If anyone’s interested in exploring the island together for a bit, I’d love that—just drop me a message!

Nicolas

Hello

Out of all my travels, I haven’t been to Vietnam yet. Does anyone have plans to visit the country?

Looking forward to hearing from you, Christine

Hi there, This is my first post on this site. I’m planning a 3–4 week trip in July–August 2026 to Malaysia or Indonesia. I’m looking for 1–3 adults who’d be interested in joining the journey. I love traveling by adapting as much as possible to local life. I’m used to organizing the trip: itineraries, accommodations, transport, etc. In the past, I’ve worked in international medical assistance and I’m well-versed in travel medicine.

hi there, it's kamel, 47 years old

I'm looking for someone to do a road trip in Vietnam at the end of January.

I'm a laid-back person who loves to laugh

see you soon

Hey everyone :-) ,

I land in Thailand on 12/08 and stay until New Year’s.

Haven’t decided on the cities yet. If you’re there during this time and up for a chill vibe—sightseeing, beaches, going out—hit me up! ;-)

See ya++

Hi there, I’ll be in Phuket in mid-November for a few days. If you’d like to join for an activity, grab a drink, or enjoy some great Thai food, don’t hesitate! 😛

Hi there,

I’m Stéphane, and due to a last-minute cancellation, I’m looking for one or more travel companions to join me on a trip through several countries (Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia).

The full trip runs from early October 2025 until our return to France in early January 2026—87 days total, CDG-SGN <==> SGN-CDG.

You can split the journey into multiple legs based on your availability.

The itinerary is set up as a big loop: starting in Vietnam, then northern Laos, Thailand, southern Laos, and Cambodia from north to south before heading back to Ho Chi Minh City to fly home.

Depending on your schedule, several arrival points are possible:

- Early October: Ho Chi Minh City, - Around October 20: Hanoi, - Early November: Vientiane/Luang Prabang, - November 15: Bangkok, - Early December: Siem Reap, ...

You can leave whenever works for you based on your availability.

Excluding round-trip flights to/from France (or elsewhere in Asia), the average budget is 25 € per day, covering accommodation and bus transfers.

Looking forward to chatting more, sharing details, meeting up, and traveling together for an amazing adventure!

Hi there, I’ll be in Prachuap Khiri Khan from mid-January to mid-February 2026, and then either Vietnam or Laos—I haven’t decided yet. If anyone’s around the area!

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! !

I’d like to travel with one or two others for these trips. For Senegal, I’ll take my car. For the other trips, we can plan them later if the first one goes smoothly and is fair for all backpackers. I travel light with minimal personal items and no pretensions. I love sharing and chatting without overthinking it. And I’m open to any initiative.

I won’t tolerate people who are too attached to their comfort or their personal cultural lifestyle outside their home country or country of birth. (Humility and tolerance) The world is about discovery and should feel new above all else.

Hi there, looking for an independent, dynamic travel companion. Heading to Vietnam in March 2026 for 3 weeks. Let’s chat... See you soon! Francis

Hey everyone, I’m currently wandering around Thailand in Ao Nang, Krabi, and I’m here for a while, moving around based on the people I meet. I love spending time traveling in Southeast Asia, and I’m planning to check out a few destinations: Malaysia, Indonesia... I’m looking for a travel buddy to share part of the journey—I don’t have any set itineraries.

I’m pretty active, keen to see things, trek, hike, and have adventures without overthinking it.

Looking forward to chatting! ;)

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a travel companion (any gender) for a trip between early October and mid-December 2025. I’m flexible on dates and destinations, with a preference for:

Quebec (road trip or nature stay) Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia) Other suggestions welcome if the plan is exciting

I’m a very organized, independent traveler with plenty of experience. I love optimizing itineraries, snagging great deals (flights, accommodations, miles), and keeping things relaxed. I’m open to traveling with one person or a small group, as long as we get along well. Goal: split costs, share discoveries, and maybe have a few good laughs along the way. If you’re serious, curious, and like planning without overthinking it, drop me a line! Serge
