Travel companions

Hi there, I’m planning to go to China this autumn and I’d love to find travel partners who’ve already been to the country at least once—people who already know how things work in China. Even though I’ve traveled a lot, I don’t feel ready to go on an adventure for my first trip to China without some company. If you’re interested, feel free to get in touch.

Hello/good evening, I’m looking for someone available this summer to join me on my bike tour around France (and beyond). Partial or full route welcome...

Hello, This post is for those who’ll be there at those dates! I’m a 72-year-old woman who’s traveled a lot and still loves it. I’ve already visited several countries in Asia.

I’m heading to Bali solo from 05/21 to 06/02. The trip is completely booked. I’ll be staying 5 nights in Ubud, 2 nights in Munduk, and 4 nights in Sidemen. I’ve found a French-speaking driver-guide (60 € per day + lunch included).

If anyone’s around and wants to join me for a visit, a walk, see a dance performance, grab a drink, or have dinner together, I’d love the company.

Traveling with a man is no problem for me, but there must be no ambiguity.

Best regards,

Hi there, I'm looking for a retired camper van travel partner to visit the Nordic countries from late May to late September. Is anyone interested? Thanks for your replies!

Hi there, I’m looking for 1 or 2 travel companions for the Pamir Highway in summer 2025 (dates to be confirmed). I’m 65 and have quite a bit of bike-travel experience. The route is flexible depending on preferences (Wakhan Corridor, Bartang Valley, etc.). Feel free to get in touch! !

Hello.

I’m looking for participants to form a group of 5 to 6 people for a safari in Tanzania during the dry season in January or even February 2026. There are already two of us. This period is ideal for the Great Migration (when animals cross into Kenya, including wildebeest and zebras, with predators like lions around).

Duration: about one week. A 13-day option is available, but it’s more expensive.

Approximate price: 3500 € (flights included).

You can either go through an agency (local or not) or directly contact a guide (like the SO GUIDES association, for example). I have a contact with a guide who has received very positive reviews.

I won’t go into all the details yet. The first step is to form a group so we can negotiate with a provider. After that, we’ll communicate and make decisions together.

You can reach me at this email: jp54pradines@gmail.com (my personal OVS space is no longer valid—this is my partner’s email).

If you’re interested, please contact me quickly. It’s best to book flight tickets as early as possible for better prices.

Here’s an example of a safari package with a guide:

**8-DAY/7-NIGHT WILD ADVENTURE SAFARI**

**Day 1: ARRIVAL AND TRANSFER** Welcome at Kilimanjaro Airport and transfer to Arusha. Overnight at Green Mountain Hotel (breakfast included).

**Day 2: HIKE ON THE TRAILS OF KILIMANJARO** Pickup from your hotel in Arusha to Moshi Materuni village at the foot of Kilimanjaro. Start a day hike to the impressive waterfalls in one of the country’s highest regions, where glacial, crystal-clear water cascades from 70 meters high. The beautiful trail leads to Materuni Waterfalls at 2,500 meters altitude. To reach them, you’ll cross valleys and hills covered in tropical forest, coffee, avocado, and banana plantations. On clear days, you’ll enjoy a breathtaking view of Kibo, Kilimanjaro’s highest peak. You’ll also learn how to prepare and taste coffee. In the evening, return to Arusha for an overnight stay at Green Mountain Hotel.

**Day 3: HIKE IN A MAASAI VILLAGE** After breakfast around 8:30 AM, you’ll be picked up from your hotel for a walking safari in the wild village. Visit local primary schools, meet traditional healers, and learn about their techniques. You’ll also visit one of the local livestock markets. Dinner and overnight at the Maasai village Boma house.

**Day 4: WILDLIFE IN 4X4 ALONG THE TARANGIRE RIVER** Around 8 AM, pickup from your hotel in Arusha for a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park for a day of wildlife viewing. The park is famous for its dense wildlife along the Tarangire River. It’s home to a large number of elephants in the northern circuit and over 550 bird species. You’ll also spot herds of impalas, hartebeests, wildebeests, kudus, oryxes, gerenuks, zebras, buffaloes, and giraffes. Predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas are also present, along with massive African baobabs. Dinner and overnight at Lake Manyara Fig Tree Lodge.

**Day 5: LAKE MANYARA PARK – WILDLIFE VIEWING IN THE RIFT VALLEY** Around 8 AM, depart from your camp to Lake Manyara Park (at the foot of a 600-meter escarpment in the Great Rift Valley) for a day of safaris. You’ll see giraffes, buffaloes, baboon troops, tree-climbing lions, and many other animals. Dinner and overnight at Lake Manyara Fig Tree Lodge.

**Day 6: WILDLIFE IN SERENGETI** In the morning, drive for 5 hours to the stunning Serengeti National Park, passing through the Olduvai Gorge archaeological site. This park is arguably the world’s most famous wildlife reserve, home to over 3 million large mammals. You’ll quickly spot the “Big Five”: buffaloes, elephants, black rhinos in the Moru Kopjes, lions, and leopards. Over 500 bird species have been recorded here. You’ll also witness the spectacular wildebeest migration in the western Serengeti. Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Nyani Camp.

**Day 7: MAGNIFICENT SUNRISE SAFARI IN SERENGETI** Enjoy a stunning sunrise safari in the golden savanna of the Serengeti’s endless plains, all day long, following the animals’ movements. Spend the night at the camp and share your incredible experience so far at Serengeti Nyani Camp.

**Day 8: MAJESTIC EXCURSION IN THE SERENGETI PLAINS** Wake up at 6 AM for coffee at the camp, then head out for a sunrise safari in the Serengeti. Our guide will take you to the best spots to admire the sunrise and observe predators, as many of them, like lions, are most active at this time of day. Return to camp around 10 AM for brunch, then load your belongings into the jeep for a 2-hour safari en route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Simba Lodge.

**Day 9: SPECTACULAR EXCURSION TO NGORONGORO CRATER** Shortly after breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a sunrise safari in the world’s largest uninterrupted caldera, surrounded by steep walls rising 610 meters from the crater floor. This natural wonder is 19.2 km in diameter and covers 304 km². You’ll explore the area on safari and spot rare species like black rhinos, wildebeests, giraffes, ostriches, bustards, lions, cheetahs, and flamingos in the Soda Lake. In the afternoon, return to Arusha, arriving in the evening for your private activities.

**END OF SERVICES**

**RATES:** The package price is 1,800 USD per person in a double room. Since the guide doesn’t handle flight tickets, we’ll need to arrange those ourselves.

You’ll need to add around 1200 €, bringing the total to 3000 €. This is the price for an independent guide. For a travel agency, you’d need to budget at least 3600 €. Plus, with the guide, we get an extra day of activities compared to an agency’s offer.

**PRICE INCLUDES:** - Park entry fees. - Transfer from Kilimanjaro Airport. - Accommodation in Arusha (breakfast included). - Village development fees. - Accommodation in camps/lodges (breakfast, lunch, dinner). - Transport in a 4x4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof in national parks. - Government taxes. - Activities detailed in the itinerary. - Safari guides. - You’ll need to add: return trip from Arusha to Kilimanjaro Airport.

**PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE:** - Alcoholic beverages. - International flights. - Personal items like visas, laundry, etc. - Tips.

Meleji Mollel (the guide).

This package is for a non-private group. If we form our own group, it becomes private, and we can negotiate with the guide—including requesting a French-speaking guide.

So, are you interested? Could you let me know soon, please?

Travel enthusiast looking for a teammate to film trips around the world

Hey everyone,

I’ve just set up an expedition group for those who love off-the-beaten-path travel. This year, I’m focusing on the Pamir region, a place I already know well.

The first leg would be driving from Bishkek to Osh around June 10, in a brand-new UAZ 452 (the legendary Soviet van). This trip will be slow, over 4 days, with several stops along the way. I’m not charging for the ride—just sharing costs (fuel, accommodation, food, etc.). We can also camp along the way if you’re up for it.

A bit about me: I’m Cory, a Belgian traveler, nomadic for 12 years, passionate about hiking, URBEX, cultures, and specializing in remote places.

After this first leg, for those who are interested, I’ll be on the mythical Pamir Highway and the Wakhan Valley from late June to late September (Osh – Dushanbe and Dushanbe – Osh). There are still spots available for these expeditions—I’ve got several dates open.

Drop me a message on WhatsApp if you’re interested: +32 476 37 82 73

See you soon!

Hi, I'm Aurore—I'm from Vannes (in Brittany) and I'm looking for a travel companion (any gender) for a 3-week trip to South Africa in late September/October.

Preferably someone in my age range (35–45). I’ve already traveled about ten times with people I met online, so don’t hesitate to DM me to chat! !

Hi there!

If you're interested in a 5-day/4-night trip to Innsbruck, I’d be up for going this spring. There are flights from Paris or Brussels. The plan would be to explore the city center, experience Tyrolean culture, and take a nature getaway outside the city.

Let me know, See you soon

Hi there, I’m looking for travel companions around my age (between 18 and 25) to go hiking in the Alps at the end of July 2025. I’d like to go for 3 to 5 days. It’s my first time doing a multi-day hike, so even though I’m sporty and motivated, I’d prefer something not too tough. If you have any hiking suggestions or want to join me, I’m in! !

Hi everyone, I’ve booked a departure for the Inca Trail trek 3n/4d from July 25 to 28, 2025, with an amazing agency that was recommended to me by friends. French-speaking guide. We’re looking for people who’d like to join us. Great rate if 3 or more people. We’re already 2. Feel free to message me if you want to come along! Looking forward to it!😊

Hi there! Looking for a travel buddy for a 3-day/2-night Amazon excursion from Leticia into the primary rainforest.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for one or more travel companions (male or female) for a few days to explore Copenhagen (and maybe the Aarhus area too) in April 2025.

I’d love to experience Danish culture and the beautiful landscapes.

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested, even if you only want to visit Copenhagen.

Have a great day. Maelle

Hello! I’m Mélanie, I’m 49. Since my partner isn’t available, I’m looking for a female travel companion between 35 and 60 to join me in the Shetland Islands. Traveling alone is less fun. I’ll be going for 12 or 13 days between May 9 and May 24, 2025. I plan to fly to Sumburgh and then rent a vehicle to get around the islands. I’d like to stay in B&Bs or with locals, and if possible, I’d prefer to have my own room (I snore and don’t want anyone to hold it against me!). But if that’s not possible, we’ll just have to arm ourselves with earplugs! If the weather isn’t too bad, I’d like to do some easy hikes (around 3 to 4 hours of walking per day). I’ll go at my own pace—I love sketching in my travel journal, so I’ll take breaks sometimes. And if we can go pet some ponies and sheep, I’ll be in heaven. What else? Oh right, I speak English, I’ve never driven on the left, and I prefer going to bed early so I can wake up early and make the most of the day. I live in the Paris area and I’m available to meet interested people if they’re nearby too. I want to book my flight and accommodations as soon as possible, so let me know quickly if you’re interested!

Hello!

I’m embarking on a long-awaited dream trip—Canada!

For my first visit to this incredible country, I’ve set my sights on Gaspésie and the city of Quebec.

I’ll be traveling from August 3rd to 24th, flying from Paris to Quebec City.

I’m looking for one or more travel companions (ages 30–40) who are also planning to spend 3 weeks in Gaspésie this summer (unfortunately, my dates aren’t flexible). The idea is to rent a car together and explore this beautiful region! :)

🙂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 part of a group trip to Seoul from April 22 to 29, 2025. ☀️

During the week, I’ll have some free time that I plan to use for sightseeing, exploring, and eating! 😋

On Monday, April 28 (from morning until late afternoon), I’d love to visit an amusement park near Seoul: Lotte World, Seoul Land, or Everland. 🎢🎠🎡

Which of these three do you think is worth the trip? 🤔

I’m looking for someone available that day to share thrills, laughs, and cotton candy! 😄✋

Let’s make some great memories—and who knows, maybe even the start of a wonderful international friendship? 💖

If you’re interested or know someone who might be, feel free to reach out! 😊

Hi everyone!

I’m heading to India and Nepal from September 6th to October 28th. I’ll arrive in Delhi and plan to stay there for 2 to 3 days to soak it all in before moving on. I’ve been traveling to India for 21 years and have visited 60% of the country. I’d love to share part of the journey with you—it’s way more fun with two or three people!

I’m considering entering Nepal overland (I’ve done it before, and it’s a great experience). Then, I’ll be trekking in Annapurna National Park for the third time! So, it’s open for pure bliss!

I’m not set on any particular destination in India—I’m open to all regions. I’ve got 7 weeks, so plenty of time! Looking forward to hearing from you if you’re up for an unforgettable adventure! We can already get in touch. See you soon!! Email: etre.yoga@gmail.com

Hi there,

I’m planning to travel solo to the Dolomites from July 25 to August 4, 2025. I’d love to find a travel companion for this trip—by plane or car. The plan is easy hiking and exploring the area, mixing up accommodations (camping, hostels, etc.), all to be decided together. @+

I’m from Quebec and I love cruises, but unfortunately my husband doesn’t like flying. I’ve been on several cruises and I’d love to find a companion to share this passion with. Thanks!

Looking for a travel buddy (ages 28 to 36) for 8 days or a bit longer in London or a trip around Italy in July or August. That said, I’m also open to other travel ideas in Europe. Looking forward to hearing from you and chatting!

Hello,

I’m 50 years old, passionate about travel, and I’ve already visited quite a few places, but this time I’d love to go on a road trip for a few months to explore this country.

I need approval from my job, but I have to plan ahead. Before diving into the details and discussing the project, I’d like to know if there are people like me who’d be interested in joining me to make the trip warmer and more humanly enriching.

I’d love to share the beauty of the landscapes and exchange ideas to broaden my horizons.

A maximum of 4 people (men or women, but no ambiguity) would be a good balance.

If the adventure appeals to you, get in touch! Looking forward to it, Florence

I’d like to explore Southeast Asia with a travel companion. I’m available outside of school holidays. I’m gay.

Hello fellow adventurers! :) I’m writing this little message to the community and adventurers because I’m thinking of heading to Morocco (a country I know well) for a week in February (around the 6th or 10th, for about a week) to climb Mount Toubkal in the Atlas Mountains. I’m used to hiking and backpacking, but this would be my first 4,000m peak. I think the mountain landscapes are even more stunning in winter. I know it’s necessary to hire a guide for this ascent. Has anyone here already climbed it in winter? If so, any feedback or tips? Also, if anyone wants to join me on this adventure, I’d love the company! :) The idea would be to rent a car (around 10–15 € per day) and do some other hikes in the Marrakech area too. Don’t hesitate to get in touch! antoine.petiard@gmail.com - 0650536769 Looking forward to it, see you soon! Antoine :)

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 everyone, I’ll be in the Pisa–Florence–Siena area from April 19 to 27–28. I’d love to visit Tuscany, but I’m open to other suggestions. Who’s in?

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! Pascale
