Hi everyone,
I’m Amit, I’m Indian and I currently live in Nashik, Maharashtra.
I lived and studied in France for two years as part of my master’s degree. I speak French (B1 level—I recently passed the DELF B1 exam), English, Hindi, and Marathi.
I love traveling, especially in groups, and I enjoy organizing trips and helping out when unexpected things come up. I’ve also traveled in Switzerland and the Netherlands and lived in Delhi.
I’m wondering if there’s demand for French-speaking local travel companions in India, especially for travelers who’d prefer having someone on the ground to help them during their stay.
I could help with transportation, hotels, restaurants, communicating with locals, planning the itinerary, sightseeing, and handling unexpected situations.
I’d also be interested in accompanying travelers for several days, depending on the itinerary and my availability.
If any of you have used this kind of local companion in India before, or know travelers looking for this type of help, I’d love to hear your advice and experiences.
Thanks in advance! 😊
Accompagnateur local francophone en Inde
Bonjour à tous,
Je m’appelle Amit. Je suis Indien et je vis actuellement à Nashik, dans le Maharashtra.
J’ai vécu et étudié en France pendant deux ans dans le cadre de mon master. Je parle français (niveau B1, j’ai récemment passé le DELF B1), anglais, hindi et marathi.
J’adore voyager, surtout en groupe, et j’aime organiser les voyages et aider en cas d’imprévus. J’ai également voyagé en Suisse et aux Pays-Bas et j’ai vécu à Delhi.
Je souhaite savoir s’il existe une demande pour des accompagnateurs locaux francophones en Inde, notamment pour les voyageurs qui préfèrent avoir quelqu’un sur place pour les assister pendant leur séjour.
Je pourrais les aider avec les transports, les hôtels, les restaurants, la communication avec les habitants, l’organisation de l’itinéraire, les visites et les situations imprévues.
Je serais également intéressé par des accompagnements de plusieurs jours, selon l’itinéraire et mes disponibilités.
Si certains d’entre vous ont déjà fait appel à ce type d’accompagnateur en Inde, ou connaissent des voyageurs recherchant ce genre d’aide, je serais ravi d’avoir vos conseils et retours d’expérience.
Merci d’avance ! 😊
Je m'appelle Nicolas et je souhaite aller en Inde du 19 janvier au 10 / 12 fevrier.
J'aimerais trouver quelqu'un pour m'accompagner et me guider car je ne connais pas et ça sera ma première fois.
Que proposez vous comme services?

Hello, my mother is looking for a travel companion for an organized trip to China, departing on 7/03 and returning on 18/03.
Here are a few details:
The "IMPERIAL CHINA" tour from 07/03 to 18/03/2027, 12 days and 11 nights. She’s looking for a woman interested in this tour and wanting to share a room. 3- and 4-star hotels. There’s a 10% discount for bookings made before the end of September.
Trip for seniors (60+)
Let me know if you're interested, and I’ll put you in touch.
Hi there, I’m a 67-year-old woman living in Belgium, in good health. I’m looking for female or male travel companion(s) for a trip to Laos lasting 3 to 4 weeks max, preferably this year still—departure in October, returning by 15/11/26 at the latest.
Possible dates also from 29/01/27 to 15/03 at the latest, still for 3 to 4 weeks.
Departure from Brussels, Paris, or another airport depending on the price. We could also meet up there.
The goal is to travel relaxed using public transport where possible, visiting places like Luang Prabang and its surroundings, Vientiane and what there is to see around it, Vang Vieng, the Bolaven Plateau, the 4,000 Islands, the Plain of Jars, ethnic villages, Nong Khiaw, going up or down the Mekong, Muang Sing, and more depending on mutual interests.
No big treks or long hikes, though we could arrange a day or two if we feel like it.
The itinerary will be planned together without setting anything in stone, so we can stay flexible and follow our moods without wondering every morning what we’ll do that day.
Looking for clean accommodations like guesthouses, with private bathrooms, and fans rather than AC.
Shared rooms are an option.
It would be great to meet beforehand if possible, otherwise via video call.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Preferably someone from my region—you’ll see, I’m really friendly...
See you soon,
Didier

hi everyone,
I’m planning a two-month trip to China in early 2027 and already have a pretty detailed itinerary I’ve put together through my research. Of course, it can be adjusted based on interests and encounters, but the main outline is set.
I love beautiful landscapes, lively cities, meeting people, local culture, and places a little off the beaten path. I’m pretty adaptable—I enjoy comfort but can also stay in simpler accommodations if the experience is worth it.
I’m looking for one or more curious, open-minded people who’d like to share all or part of this trip, in good spirits and at everyone’s own pace. The idea isn’t to do everything together at all costs, but to share discoveries, journeys, visits, and great memories.
If this sounds like you, feel free to message me!
Looking forward to chatting and, who knows, setting off on an adventure together! 😊
I’ll be in Jomtien, Thailand in early October, and I’m looking for one or more players (preferably French-speaking) for some games of American pool in the afternoons or evenings.
I’m not a pro, but I can hold my own, and I’d love to play a few hours a day or week with other French speakers.
Feel free to reply via private message or on the site.
Hope to see you soon!
Thanks 😎
Hi there, I’ll be in Trani, Puglia from October 3rd to 5th. If you’re in the area, we could meet up to explore the town and its surroundings (Barletta, Molfetta). If you’re into photography, the cathedrals overlooking the harbors are a must at sunset. See you soon!
I’m planning my 6th bike trip. After crossing France, Spain, and Portugal, my last leg brought me to Fes.
In November, I’m heading out again for about 1,000 km through the Atlas Forest and the desert.
Have you done any bike trips before? If so, get in touch—I’ll share the Komoot route with you.
See you soon
I’m planning to head to Madagascar from December 24th in the evening until January 17th from Réunion Island, for about 3 weeks. 🇲🇬✈️
I’d really love to make the most of this trip to explore the country in depth—its culture, landscapes, cuisine, and especially meet locals. I’m hoping for a pretty authentic experience, mixing discovery, nature, hikes, a few excursions, and of course some relaxing beach days. 🏝️🏡
I’m traveling solo, but I’d be thrilled to find one or more girls to share part of the journey with—not necessarily the whole trip, so everyone can keep their independence and pace.
If any of you are in Madagascar during these dates or thinking of going, feel free to message me so we can chat and see if our travel plans align! 🤗🌍
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!
I’ll be in Diego Suarez and I’ve planned a private 2-day / 1-night trip on September 25-26, 2026 to Nosy Hara🌿.
I’m looking for one or more people interested in joining the trip and splitting the costs.
Don’t hesitate to DM me if you’re interested!
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,
Don’t stay in the cold and damp! I’m looking for one or more people (men or women, travel companions) to spend a few weeks in South India and Sri Lanka from late January to early March.
I’m Jean Pierre, 75 years old, and I manage just fine when traveling. Phone: 0389812641

We’ll be in Antalya from September 26th to October 2nd, 2026 (inclusive), and we’re looking for one or two people to join us on a private day trip to Sagalassos to split the costs. If anyone’s interested!
Hello,
I’m 65 years old, from Montpellier, and I love traveling—discovering new countries, new cultures, but most of all, meeting people and enjoying what life still has to offer.
I’m pretty curious, unconventional, and love living life to the fullest. I enjoy stepping off the beaten path.
Routine is definitely not my thing! 😄
I’m looking for men or women, roughly between 35 and 80 years old, who share the same love for travel and, most importantly, the same mindset: open-minded, positive, tolerant, curious, with a sense of humor and a desire to enjoy life.
I appreciate people who embrace differences, aren’t judgmental, and with whom you can talk about anything, laugh, and put the world to rights over a good meal or a drink… in short, people who love life! 🥂
Just to clarify, my search is strictly platonic, with no flirting or ambiguity.
The idea is to make meaningful connections, share outings, getaways, and maybe even future trips together.
✈️ I’ve already been lucky enough to travel to Thailand, Turkey, Israel, Italy, Cuba, Greece & some Greek islands, and the United States… and Japan is currently in the works.
For 2027, the list of destinations is long: Vietnam, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Tahiti… and more! 🌍
Why not start by simply getting to know each other over a coffee, a meal, or an outing? If the vibe is right, we can then plan little getaways or trips together.
I’m thinking of a small group of 2 to 5 people max, to keep the atmosphere friendly and really enjoy each other’s company.
And of course, everyone keeps their independence and books their own room. We share the trips and the good times, not necessarily the room! 😉
I’m not looking to collect contacts. I’m looking for the right people.
So, if you recognize yourself in this mindset, message me privately, and we’ll chat and see where it takes us.
Traveling is wonderful. Traveling with the right people is even better. 🌍✈️🥂
Hello everyone,
I’ll be arriving in Indonesia in early December in Jakarta, and I’ve planned a loop to Yogyakarta (Borobudur and Prambanan), then the Bromo and Kawah Ijen volcanoes, before returning to Jakarta—all over about ten days (at a relaxed pace).
The start date isn’t set in stone, but I absolutely must be back in Jakarta by the 15th at the latest (flight to Sorong on the 16th at 00:30).
Here’s the idea: to share this trip or part of it with one or more easygoing, friendly people, to split the transport costs to the volcanoes and share the treks.
I’m 58, used to traveling solo and sharing parts of trips with people I meet along the way. I’m cheerful and open, enjoy conversations but not unnecessary drama! 😎
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Stéphane
We’re currently two people for a 7-day trek on the Tassili N'Ajjer plateaus. We know the local agency—it’s legit. We’re leaving on October 27th and returning on November 4th.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch for more info.

I’m heading to China for the first time on October 10th (after Golden Week, so it should be quieter). I’ll be coming from Hanoi (Vietnam), where I’ll be from September 3rd, and I’ll fly to Kunming on October 10th.
I’ve planned a route starting in Kunming (4 nights), then Guilin (4 nights), Chongqing (3 nights), Zhangjiajie (4 nights), Chengdu (3 nights), Xi’An (3 nights), Beijing (3 nights), and finally Shanghai (3 nights), with my departure set for November 6th to the Philippines (flight not booked yet).
The durations are flexible and should give me enough time to enjoy each place. The schedule is adjustable if needed, and I’ve left a 2-day buffer for the 30-day visa exemption.
All connections are planned by high-speed train (not booked yet), with travel times maxing out at 5 hours on the fastest trains.
I usually travel solo, but I’m open to some company—someone easygoing and cheerful—and for practical reasons, to split costs on a few excursions, like Dongchuan (the Red Lands), which is easier with a private car.
So, if this itinerary or part of it interests you, I’d love to hear from you!
PS: I’m new to China and its cashless world, so there might be a few lonely moments while I get Alipay, WeChat, and Didi fully set up… 😉
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!
Hi, I’d like to go on a trip of about 14 days to Ladakh, with Dharamsala or Nepal as possible alternatives.
One of my goals is to authentically explore Tibetan Buddhism: understand its principles, attend one or a few teachings, visit monasteries, and if possible, meet a monk or teacher.
I’d like to dedicate a significant part of the trip to discovering local life: villages, families, cuisine, culture, nature, and interacting with the locals.
Is anyone planning a similar trip in the near future? I’m looking for someone who could join me. Whether we meet there or travel together from France.
Thanks a lot.
Hi there,
I’m looking for a female and/or male cycling partner for bike trips in THAILAND and neighboring countries, late 2026, early 2027, or late 2027 (the best seasons for cycling).
Born in 1952, I ride slowly and not too far: 40 to 70 km/day, 2 to 4 hours per day, depending on how I feel, the terrain, the people I meet, photo stops, etc. 5 or 6 days out of 7.
Accommodation in modest guest houses.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

I’m looking for a travel companion (male or female) from mid-October to mid-November as I’m planning to head back to China, specifically the Sichuan region, famous for its pandas, Tibetan culture in the west with its mountains, traditional villages around Chengdu, and renowned for its cuisine.
I also plan to visit Chongqing nearby.
I really enjoy connecting with locals (Chinese people are super friendly).
I’ve traveled in China before, the visa is still free this year. I use local transport—buses and trains. I travel light and can adapt easily. The destination is budget-friendly.
No pressure to spend every day together—communication and respect for each other’s choices are key.
For flight pricing reasons, I’m likely departing from Brussels.
If you’re interested, feel free to DM me to chat! 😊
