Your post has piqued my interest. I, too, am a solo female traveller of like age, and have, like you, pondered on how best to overcome the problem of cost, safety and companionship. I'm a Canadian international house sitter, in Glasgow at the minute, but winding up in Horsham in the spring. I'm not looking to be joined at the hip with someone, but to have a "buddy" for safety and fun. I've often considered cruising by freighter, but would never consider this adventure on my own. I'm not really interested in the large ships, but in smaller vessels that can go into more interesting ports. Alaska is definitely on my list, and possibly the Great Lakes plus river cruises in Europe. I do prefer to travel for longer periods of time, a week or ten days just isn't enough. Looking forward to your reply, Cheers, Jane

Hi there,
I'm a 62 year old retired teacher living in Enfield, North London. I love cruising and am looking for a female cabin share for April/ May this year. There are some reasonable offers on some P & O ships at the moment but as usual, the single supplements double the price!
I am a independent lady and am happy to do things by myself but it's nice to have somebody to eat with and go ashore with.
I am a clean, tidy considerate person and had a successful Canadian Rockies/ Alaska cruise with a lady I met through this site last year.
I would prefer to meet up beforehand to have a chat over coffee / lunch if possible.
If you might be interested, I would be delighted to hear from you.

My mobile no is 07963612487.

Are there any 60 plus ladies who would consider travelling with this retired old codger? Naturally, a 'get to know you' period would be advisable.
Response from draenog made on 2nd Feb 2018 14:40:23
Anywhere, anyway, at any time. Wales. Would you mind if we tried this 'private chat' box. I've never used it before. In fact, this is my time on this site looking for a travelling companion. What about you?
Response from YvonneN3 made on 9th Feb 2018 10:38:40
I might be interested. I can private message if you like.

Vehicle is a modern Landrover Discovery, first class accommodation and travel arrangements all the way. 2 to 3 week trip no need for shared expenses.

Sounds an amazing trip. I've been on part of the Atlantic coast by motorhome.

This is a rather simple request, I am a 79 year old fairly healthy and mobile male, not into bike tours or or walking the countryside but I am well travelled, fairly intelligent and intense older male that would like company when I travel, not to subsidize, not to compromise, nor o I expect anything except friendly companionship. I have bee to Ireland, Italy, Denmark, Yugoslavia, Germany, Costa Rica, Bali, Cambodia, Vietnam, Tahiti, the Caribbean several times, England, Greece, Puerto Rico, and Mexico and covered the US and Canada in an RV for several years. I am not done and I have not always enjoyed my company, either groups or with individual.

Do you relate, are you interested, old but alive and want to experience more before you go to your grave?

Questions, thoughts?

Ken

Hi ken
where do you live in the U.K.? I want to travel but not alone and would appreciate thoughtful company.
Response from skyatnight made on 26th Aug 2017 14:55:24
Hi Ken

I am interested in travel next year now. I would love to go to Iceland or Norway or even the artic. perhaps a cruise from Liverpool. I live in Lancashire.

You certainly have been to many places, it's a pity you didn't always like the people you travelled with. clicking I have found isn't all that easy. You have to be on the same mind!

Bye

Joni (skyatnight)

Iceland and Norway are both on my list too, I'm in Cambridgeshire and would love a companion to travel with.

I am 83 and still hanging in there. Wife will only travel to Europe and only a couple of times a year. Hiking or walking long distances is not in my bag, Infantry 27 years. Combat Korea and Vietnam as a infantry Capt. Have traveled to 57 countries and still have many on my bucket list. Wife retired United Airline so I prefer to fly to any of United destinations and continue from there.
I have a river cruise in Europe in May. Also, a trip with my wife and friends in Poland sometime in Oct.
We stay at Airb&b"s our Homeaway. com ( same as Vacationrentalsbyowners.com VRBO.com ) Prefer independent travel and there are a million 2 bedroom apartments or homes available at great prices.
Like you most of the time I can get along with anyone. Some times I am crabby but, not often. When I am I just read a book or go have a few beers and rest.
I am not wealthy but, not poor so three or 4 star hotels are fine. Still prefer airb&b or homeaway for 3 or 4 nights. NOT TUESDAYS WE MUST BE IN BELGUIM.
I live in Florida. If you live in the US it's easy for me to fly up and meet for a lunch or dinner. That way we can see if we get along and our personalities are agreeable.
Warm regards. buddybuff

Looking for a travel companion, for alaskan cruise, or tour of japan. I'm a 66 year old female. I'm open to a male or female companion. I do not smoke and would prefer a non smoker. In spite of my age I'm very young at heart. I'm not a drinker but might have an ocassional drink. Only health issue I have is arthritis in my knees, in spite of that, in my job I walk up to 10 miles a day. I don't let it hinder me.

Have you considered the North-West Passage? Single supplements can be extreme.
