Looking for buddies to surf and travel in January-February 2025
Hey surfers, hey everyone,

I’m looking for a partner to hit the waves and share some great moments. The location doesn’t matter to me, as long as there are uncrowded surf spots. I’m thinking, for example, of the Pacific coast in Colombia or some lesser-known islands in Indonesia. I’ve already visited several quiet spots, but always solo. This time, I’d love to share the experience with someone.

I’m open to any destination and happy to adapt if you have ideas or preferences. Ideally, I’m looking for someone with an intermediate level or higher. I’m not an expert surfer, but I can handle intermediate spots and sometimes more challenging ones. If you’re more experienced, that’d be perfect—I’d love to learn from you and improve.

For languages, I speak English and Spanish, so no problem communicating! I’m keen to leave around mid-January or early February for about 2-3 weeks. A pure surf trip, with lots of fun along the way.

If you’re interested, feel free to suggest ideas or drop me a message. Can’t wait to hear your proposals! !

Van road trip across Southern Europe
Hi, I’m Jérémy, 28 years old. Originally from Brittany, I’ve always loved traveling, especially to natural spots—whether by the sea or in the mountains.

I’m a huge sports fan, particularly outdoor sports (surfing, snowboarding, hiking, climbing, etc.) :D

Not long ago, I bought a nice converted van, and I’ve just left home for a very long road trip across Europe.

Right now, I’m heading down the west coast of France. Then, around February 6-7, I’ll turn toward the Northern Alps before heading back down to the Southern Alps. After that, my plan is to head toward the Pyrenees, then loop around Spain and Portugal (to catch some great waves) before passing back through France and continuing into Northern Italy and the Balkans. Basically, the idea is to cover all of Southern Europe if possible.

I’ve traveled solo and with friends before, and I’ve realized I prefer traveling with people. Just sharing experiences together feels amazing :)

If you’d like to join me—whether for a few days or several weeks/months—I’d be happy to host you (after getting to know each other first, of course)! That said, I can only travel with one person or, at most, two at a time since my van has three front seats (though if we’re three, one person would need to sleep in a tent next to the van since there are only two spots inside).

If you’re traveling in a van too, I’m also open to us traveling together with our two vans—it’d let us be a bigger group.

Feel free to message me on Instagram @jeremy.tex

Have a great day!

Jérémy

Travel companions for a road trip in Montenegro spring 2026 + other destinations to follow
Hi everyone,

I’m offering a spot in my van for a maiden trip in May, from 20/05 to 05/06. The planned destination is Montenegro, but it could be any other area. For July and August, I’m planning another van trip through the Baltic countries via Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland. I also have a kayaking trip project, more or less long—probably around ten days initially, just to test the waters, in Scotland. This could happen this autumn combined with a road trip to get there or back, or both! Preferably with experienced kayakers. If you have other ideas, I’m all ears. I’ve got time and options. In the van, I travel with my dog, who’s really chill.

See you soon.

Travel companions to share an excursion in Kazakhstan then Kyrgyzstan border
Hi there,

I contacted a travel agency in Almaty, and they’re offering a trip to Charyn Canyon and Altyn National Park with an overnight stay, then they can drop me off at the Kyrgyzstan border in Karkara (so I won’t be returning to Almaty). The cost is $700 USD—it’s pricey solo, but if there are 3 or 4 of us, it seems like a great deal. Are there any backpackers interested in joining this part of the trip on June 7, 2026? (My flight to Almaty is on June 4 from Lyon with Pegasus.)

Bye,

Patrice

Hiking companions for the Agriates with camping trips
Hi there! I’m a lively, friendly Toulousaine with a great sense of humor who loves hiking—on foot and by bike. Along with another person from this site, we’re heading to CORSICA for a week to hike the coastal trails around the Cap Corse,

with the cherry on top: two days in the Agriates desert!

We’d love to share this adventure with two more hikers (any gender), same vibe, aged 40–60, good humor a must...

The plan is to meet in Bastia on May 9th before noon, then set off with a rental car (for the week, 140 € to split!) to explore the CAP CORSE. We’ll make two camping stops (east and north), so bring your own small tent if possible, to tackle the coastal trails. Then a break in St-Florent, followed by two days in the Agriates (with 4–6-hour hikes daily).

We’ll take the overnight ferry from Toulon and return by boat from Bastia too (40 € round trip).

If you’re interested, please message me quickly—it’s still possible until April 30th! Looking forward to chatting! Anie...

Travel companions for Sicily in May/June or Vietnam in September
Hello,

I’m a 70-year-old retiree looking for two or three travel companions to visit Sicily, which I haven’t been to, in May or June. I’m also planning to visit Vietnam in September. I love exploring, learning, and meeting new people, and I’m adaptable, but it’s not easy to find people with the same interests. Team spirit is important to me. I travel on a mid-range budget. Looking forward to your comments. You can reach me at: maryse.21 @orange.fr Best regards,

Travel companions for sharing a vehicle to visit U.S. Western parks
Hello, we’re a French couple, aged 69 and 74, and we’d like to visit several national parks in the American West, including the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, Valley of Fire, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Yosemite National Park, and Yellowstone National Park, during a flexible period of 15 to 20 days between April and June 2027. One of us will purchase the America the Beautiful pass for $250, and we’ll of course share the gas expenses. I’ll answer two questions you’re probably asking about us: Why aren’t we renting a vehicle ourselves? Because we’ve hardly ever driven. And why not opt for a guided tour? Most organized trips only visit a few parks at a rushed pace with round-trip flights from France. Instead, we’d like to use this trip to explore iconic U.S. cities and sites for an additional month and a half. If you’d like to visit some of these parks (not necessarily all) and for a shorter duration with us, feel free to let me know. As I mentioned, our dates are very flexible. Thanks in advance.

Travel companions to visit American national parks & share a vehicle between April and June
Hello, We’re a French couple, aged 69 and 74, and we’d love to visit several national parks in the American West, including—of course—the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, Valley of Fire, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Yosemite National Park, and Yellowstone National Park. We’re planning a flexible trip of 15 to 20 days between April and June 2027.

One of us will buy the America the Beautiful pass for $250, and we’ll obviously split the cost of gas.

I’ll answer the two questions you’re probably wondering about: Why aren’t we renting a vehicle ourselves? Because we’ve barely driven in our lives. And why aren’t we taking an organized tour? Because most group tours only hit a few parks and rush through with round-trip flights from France. We’d like to extend this trip to visit iconic American cities and places for an extra month and a half.

If you’re interested in visiting some of the parks—even if not all of them—with us, please let us know. As I mentioned, our dates are very flexible.

Thanks in advance! Elisabeth babeth.marcel@yahoo.

Travel Companions in Chile for Hiking-Trekking-Ski Mountaineering
Hi! I’m Romane and I’m passionate about mountain sports! !😎

I’ll be in Chile from March to the end of August and I’m looking for travel companions, especially to hit the mountains—whether it’s hiking, trekking, fast-hiking, ski mountaineering, or even mountain biking. I’d love to explore Chilean and Argentine Patagonia, the Carretera Austral, the Lake District to climb all the volcanoes, the Santiago area around Cajón del Maipo, and why not Peru or Bolivia—I’ve got tons of plans! 😛

Here’s what I’ve got with me: - A pretty solid hardtail MTB - Ski touring gear—crampons, ice axes, avalanche beacon, shovel, probe - Bivouac/camping gear - Trail and hiking equipment

If you’re up for exploring a part of the country with me, let me know! I’m open to any way of traveling: road trips, bikepacking, hitchhiking, buses, etc.

PS: I’m usually in decent shape, so unless you’re Kilian Jornet, we should be able to tackle some awesome outings together! 😛

Travel companions for Hunan or Yunnan or another region in China
Hello, I was planning to go to Yunnan at the end of February, but if that doesn’t work out, I’d like to try late March or early May. I’d love to meet a woman to travel as a duo and make the most of the one-month visa, even if we stay for less time. I’ve only seen a little of China so far—just a few major cities that I found absolutely stunning and impressive—and the rice terraces of Yunhe, which were unforgettable! So besides Yunnan or Hunan, we could choose other regions; China is so vast and varied, and I’d happily revisit the cities I’ve already seen. 🙂 Age doesn’t matter as long as we have energy and curiosity! I’m used to organizing things since I usually travel solo. I’m based in Paris, and of course, we’d get to know each other first to chat before meeting. 😄👫

Travel companions for first trip to Thailand in autumn 2026
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.

Travel companions for Bali, Lombok, Gili, East Timor, and the Moluccas Islands
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! 😍

Looking forward to figuring out the destination and planning the trip together! Nolwenn

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

Travel companions for Laos and Cambodia in late November
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! !
