Travel companions

Looking for a hiking buddy to do the Tour des Fizz in 4 days from August 26-27 to 30, 2025

Hello!

I’m planning to spend nearly 3 weeks in the sun in September (from mid-September to October 7th).

I’d prefer a sunny destination. I was thinking of places like Turkey, Greece, an Eastern European country (Georgia, Bulgaria, etc.), the Canary Islands, Portugal, or even South Africa.

The idea is to mix visits to monuments, hikes in parks, and some beach relaxation.

I’m primarily looking for female travel companions for convenience, ideally around my age (I’m 42).

I usually organize my trips solo without going through an agency.

Once there, I’m used to walking a lot and getting around by public transport (train, coach, bus, etc.).

Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Have a great day! !

Hello A cool, active retired person (m/f) who loves hiking and culture without the fuss for January 2026! !

Retired couple (75 years old) looking for another couple to travel as a group of four to Japan, Namibia, or Brazil in 2026 or 2027. For Japan, someone who speaks Japanese would be ideal. Three-week tour staying in hotels.

Hi! I’m 66 and I’m looking for a travel companion for a 15-day road trip in September 2025 to Puglia. We’d pick up a rental car at Brindisi or Bari airport and book 4 apartments to explore the region. Thanks for your replies! Silvana

I’m planning to go to Zanzibar from mid-January to mid-April. Looking for a comfortable, clean place with AC or a fan, really close to a beach (max 600m on foot). I’ll be traveling with my Jack Russell, who’s also a seasoned traveler.

Any tips, good deals, or recommendations are welcome! 😊 I spent 4 months in Zanzibar… 20 years ago!! Thanks in advance. It’d be great to find a travel companion. I know the trip might be a bit long for some folks 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hi everyone,

After a last-minute cancellation, I’m now looking for someone to join me on a bivouac trip from the 18th to the 24th (the dates are slightly flexible).

I’m planning to head to the Pyrenees, which I know well, but if anyone’s interested in another destination (Jura, Alps, etc.), I’m open to suggestions. Either way, I’m keen to explore new landscapes.

I’m used to bivouacking, have all the necessary gear, and I’m a pretty contemplative guy. I need the peace of the mountains and a bit of simplicity to recharge before facing the rest of the year in society.

That said, I’m definitely up for sharing a good bottle of wine and some tasty food after a great day of hiking!

If you’re tempted, feel free to get in touch.

Have a great day, everyone

Hi there! I’m looking for one or two (or more) people to climb the Maasai sacred mountain, Ol Doinyo volcano. I already have a guide. The dates are January 12, 13, and 14. It’ll be a full moon, so it’ll be easier to see during the night ascent. Good physical fitness is required. Otherwise, to anyone who’s been there before—I’d love some tips!

I’ve got some vacation time to use before the end of the year and I’d love to visit the stunning Yunnan region in southern China. Flying into Kunming, then spending 15–20 days traveling through Dali, Shaxi, Lijiang, Tiger Leaping Gorge, and Shangri-La. Getting around between stops using public transport. Sightseeing and hiking on the agenda. Flying back out of Kunming.

Dates are still flexible, but mainly looking at November.

I’m 56, with plenty of travel experience under my belt, and I’d like to reconnect with the experience of traveling as a duo or trio.

DM me if you’re interested.

Hi there,

I’m looking for a female travel companion for South America in October or November for 3 weeks. Dates and countries are flexible. We’d be traveling independently, mixing hiking, nature, and cultural visits. Interested? Don’t hesitate to reach out! Emma

Looking for a travel companion to enjoy the Route 66 centennial celebrations. Road trip by car dates flexible, take the time to refine the itinerary and connect. Laurent (58 years old)

Hello, For the Laos portion of my trip in Asia, I’m looking for a travel companion (male or female) starting September 16, 2025. I’m 78 years old and travel backpacker-style but with a minimum of comfort. Getting around by local buses and motorbike (scooter type). Planned route from Luang Prabang to Phnom Penh (Cambodia) for about a month. Get in touch for more details. See you soon

Hello or Guten Tag, Departure planned between 15 and 20/09. Why Austria? For me, it’s a way to escape the 30°C that might still be lingering in southern France—but that’s not the only reason... For budget info, on average, the cost of living in Austria in 2024 is 3% lower than in France. Looking for a female companion living in the Castres/81 area or in 85/Vendée, where I actually plan to move. Her personality? I’d prefer to discuss that in private messages. If she doesn’t have an e-bike (I have an excellent one), we can swap our “rides” from time to time. Oh... She should be around 1.70 m tall (that’s my height), and there’s no adjustment needed (saddle height + handlebars). Don’t take it to mean that anyone under 1.70 m is automatically out—I can fix a flat tire, I’m resourceful, and I’ve got a good sense of initiative. I should mention that we’ll be riding in temperatures between 18 and 21°C. So, if you’re a travel lover who doesn’t mind slightly cooler weather, you’re welcome! I have a “good level of English language pass,” which is essential for communicating with locals, though some will understand French. Personally, I understand about twenty words of German. Some stretches without much interest can be covered by train. I’m thinking Salzburg–Passau. To be discussed... No need to panic, Monique! The elevation gain might seem intimidating, but spread over 802 km, it’s not too bad. Outbound trip: by car, left in a safe place in Constance or at the hotel where we’d have spent 3 nights. To negotiate with the manager... Return by train from Wien (that’s Vienna in German, please!) for between 38 € and 80 €. We’ll see when we’re there... I’m planning 2 to 3 nights in Constance, given the beauty of the lake (water between 22 and 24°C—maybe a swim?) and the interest this city holds. Fancy getting close to Austria’s highest peak (3800 m) after climbing a pass (a pass with a unique feature in Europe) at 2504 m? Want to have fun like a teenager on Europe’s longest summer toboggan run (on rails) for 3535 m? Want to follow the Danube River for about 317 km on the EuroVelo route 6, a path dedicated just to cyclists? Want to explore Tyrol for 3 or 4 days? Want to discover Vienna and its surroundings? FYI: late September, around 20°C. I’ll be equipped with an excellent vocal GPS. So no fumbling to find an address. Why this country? We’re in the Eurozone. Budget? Hard to pin down. It’ll depend on the accommodations we choose. I’m estimating around 60 to 70 € per day per person while there. Lunch as a picnic. In such a setting, it’s a must! Dinner at a restaurant-inn. Oh... One important point. I’m a heavy sleeper. Nearly 10 hours of rest. After that, I’m in a great mood. I also enjoy a nap of at least an hour after lunch if the spot allows (shady and quiet).

Hi there, I’m free to travel from now until fall 2026. Everything’s in my profile—feel free to check it out: https://voyageforum.com/membres/petitflocon3/ See you soon, Philippe

A couple in their late 60s would love to do this trip with another couple, while still having some independence each.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a travel companion for next year, specifically for May 2026, to explore Latin America and the Caribbean. Ideally, I’d prefer a woman aged 25 to 35—I’m 34—but I’m also open to a friendly guy in the same age range.

I’d love to visit all of South America except French Guiana, and Central America except Mexico and Guatemala (since I’ve already been there). I’d also like to explore some Caribbean countries. I’m based in the Lyon area and open to connecting with people in the Rhône-Alpes region to get to know each other and discuss the trip.

The journey would last between 9 to 11 months max, but you don’t have to commit to the whole trip—just part of it if you’re interested. I plan to start in Colombia in May. I’d love to meet people who are passionate about travel and around my age.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

I’m Nicolas, I’m 27, and I’m planning to head to Asia without taking any flights starting from early 2026 (mostly by train, then buses or ferries for some parts). My trip will last several months (between 8 to 10 months). I’m not necessarily looking for someone to join me for the entire journey, but rather someone who can travel with me for part of the way.

Honestly, this is the part that makes me the most nervous. The current global geopolitical situation makes this trip a bit more complicated, especially when it comes to choosing between going through Russia (faster but maybe less psychologically comfortable) or Turkey → Uzbekistan (more logistically challenging), with the goal of reaching China in either case.

So if you’re up for the adventure, feel free to reach out!

I’ve read a lot of trip reports from people who’ve already done this, but if you have any tips to share, don’t hesitate!

Hello everyone,

I’ve booked a round-trip flight to Mumbai from October 4th to 24th, 2025. I haven’t finalized my itinerary yet, but my plan is to spend 2 nights in Mumbai (hotel booked in Colaba), a few nights in Nashik, and then head down to Gokarna. I’m a young-at-heart sixty-something who stays very active and loves traveling. This will be my third trip to "southern" India, so I know what to expect in terms of cultural differences. Plus, my native language is English, so I have no trouble understanding or being understood, no matter the accent over there. I’d be happy to meet up and share some moments with you—young or not-so-young—if you’re up for it.

See you soon, I hope!

Charlie

Hello, I’m looking for someone—or why not form a small, easygoing, cheerful group of people aged 60 or over—to travel to Colombia this winter. My preferred dates are around December 12th through February (flexible). I’d like to head north, or even further if we have time. I travel with a suitcase, taking it easy in mid-range hotels, Airbnbs, or better depending on prices and local transport—buses, trains, taxis, etc. Anyone interested? Gentlemen are welcome as long as they’re not looking for a romantic adventure—you’ve been warned! ;) I live in Bordeaux. Françoise
