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. 🌍✈️🥂

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! 😊

An idea to mull over: heading to Oman at the start of the year (January, February). A car for freedom, bivouacs, hostels, desert, mountains, hiking, walks... For two, three, or four—depending on who’s in. Who’s tempted? Have a great week, and more, to everyone!

Hello, I’m a young, active retiree looking for someone to join me in Latin America without the obligation of being together 24/7. I’m leaving on 25/09 for Cusco in Peru, then planning to head down to Chile. If the date is too soon, we could meet up there instead.

I used to travel independently with my partner. We’ve been to Peru, Bolivia twice, Guatemala, Ecuador, Cuba, Ethiopia…

Now, I’m on my own and would prefer to share the experience rather than travel solo. I last visited Peru 13 years ago, so I’m excited to revisit it and explore it differently this time. If you’re interested… see you soon! Brigitte

Hi there, I’m Patricia, 68, from Pau. I’m looking for a travel buddy for any destination and type of trip. Would you be up for getting to know each other, maybe meeting before we plan anything?

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.

Hi there, I’m planning a two-week trip to Yunnan in November. The ideal setup would be renting a car for four people and choosing accommodation from the amazing range of affordable hotels. If anyone has tips or is interested...

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

Hello!

I’m planning to visit Colombia for 3 weeks (maybe a bit longer) between January and February 2025.

I don’t have a set itinerary yet. The idea is to mix cultural visits (monuments), hikes in national parks, and some beach relaxation.

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

I usually organize my trips solo without using an agency.

I’m looking for people who love walking (a lot ;) ) and are comfortable using public transport (trains, buses, etc.).

I’ll be departing from Paris, but it doesn’t matter where you’re flying from—we can meet up directly there. I haven’t booked my tickets yet.

Feel free to send me a private message if you’re planning a similar trip so we can chat!

Have a great day!

Hi everyone, I’m from Annecy and I’ve traveled quite a bit, thanks to VF and friends. I’m looking for someone to travel with for a month in December. I could add New Zealand and later Japan or Bali. I’ve traveled often, in backpacker style, but I also enjoy comfort. I’d prefer someone who doesn’t live too far from my area so we can meet beforehand. I’m 70 years old, I love walking, music, water, nature, and sometimes just listening to the silence... Looking forward to hearing from you. Cécile

Sometimes a trip to Thailand starts in a hotel near an airport, where guests have misunderstood the meaning of the name easyJet...



We know all too well that this long flight will leave us a bit jet-lagged when we arrive...



all while hoping we won’t start our stay completely...



Still, we’re lucid enough to notice that they could’ve at least leveled the ground before adding the decor at the airport:



As always, our arrival is under the watchful eye of some...



under the frankly curious gaze of others...



but of course, there are plenty who couldn’t care less...



All that’s left is to set off exploring, while staying cautious so we don’t get caught off guard...

Nous avons prévu d'aller en Thaïlande et au Laos et nous avons donc pris des Billets Paris-Bangkok, Bangkok-Paris. Entre l'entrée et le retour 56 jours. Nous pensons rester 3 semaines en Thaïlande, filer ensuite au Laos et peut-être au Cambodge pour revenir sur les plages Thailandaises pour les 15 jours autorisés nous restant. Nous partons avec Thaï Airways. Pensez vous que nous soyons obligés de prendre un visa qui nous servira à rien et si nous n'en prenons pas, risquons nous de nous faire refouler à CDG par la compagnie ou pire à l'immigration à Bangkok. En janvier de cette année, nous avions pris un billet depuis Delhi pour Bangkok avec la ThaÏ Aiways et personne ne nous a demandé de justifier les 50 jours en Thaïlande. Nous avons pris à Bangkok une extension de 30 jours et pas de problème. Mais suite au attentat du printemps, ça a t'il changé. Merci pour vos réponses.
