Hi Folks--
New to this, so feel a bit odd.....I'm a 67 yo straight male; been to Germany, England, Scotland (3 times, LOVE it), Canada, Mexico (twice), Hawaii (4 times, LOVE it) ,Alaska cruise, and lived in Thailand for almost 10 yrs. Still have urge to explore, but solo is not as much fun. I am respectful, neat, and know where the boundary lines are, so am not concerned about traveling with females or males.
Sharing a space needn't be a concern for a prospective roomie, and I don't snore. Hope I haven't violated some cultural or social norms.......Would like to cruise, (maybe the Caribbean area), or the
western South American coast, but am open to new ideas and places.

Stay open-minded--

I am a retired Paramedic looking for a cruise companion.
Prepared to travel with people of either gender with disabilities or mobility problems and give some assistance.
Everything in life is negotiable.
Live in Australia so cruises from Sydney or Melbourne are good.
For the record I am a non-smoker and have done 20 + cruises tired of paying twin share to travel alone.

Several folks have asked where I lived in the UK. i do not, I live in the Northwest corner of the US, in Portland, Oregon. My near term plans are to visit the British isles in depth, since I was born in England and Emigrated to the US in 1950 as a child. I will spend time in Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England on this trip. In 2019 aim interested in Scandinavian countries and even some Baltic states.

Would anyone want to walk across Spain? I have done so ,alone ,3 times but would enjoy company this time. Starting out second week of March for 5 weeks. I am non- smoker , social drinker, retired for awhile now. I am a walker ( 4 - 5 k/h ) but a bit slower with a pack. I should probably write more but nothing is coming to mind.

Hi, I retired male engineer from UK. I am presently planning my next next trip for 2018 - must go place to include Japan. This would be my third solo 2-3 month trip and all of them included a lot of tramping/walking and cycling. I would have gone this year but illness of my partner is preventing a long trip. I did Kayaking last year in New Zealand but due to injury doing it didnt find it a lot of fun so will not be doing that again 🙂
Always open to a travel companion but more then willing to share my experiences.

Hi, am female university lecturer in 50s, really enjoy hills, mountains,sea. Also enjoy some of the cultural stuff and the odd sporting event but zero interest in cruises, clubbing and 5* hotels
Looking for female travel companion same age, not relationship or dating, to explore interesting places, I have travelled quite a bit and lived abroad for a while, speak reasonable Spanish, can hold down a conversation on most topics but also happy to be quiet and read a book. Am resourceful, tell bad jokes (& know when not to), pretty fit and light on baggage, both literal and emotional. Anyone similar out there?

I’m an active 64 year old woman with a non travelling husband. In my youth I lived abroad and travelled solo but don’t want to do that now. I’ve lots of interests from Italian cities - like to go to Bologna or far South to rainforests, Far East and ultimately travelling by train in India. I’m not fussed about accommodation but it must be clean and safe but Do enjoy a treat. I’m based both Cornwall and London. I was professional marketeer but now semi retired. I’m sociable, love warm weather, good food and enjoy people/culture/architecture/nature but not cruises. Travel anytime but short trip first.

I am a lady, looking for a companion to go to China. I have been 5 times so want now to explore more. I am Vegan/ Vegetarian and open to many things and ideas. End January/February?
Response from AdaV made on 7th Dec 2017 02:49:48
Hello

I have become interested in China as a destination for some time but never been there. Would you be interested in an inexperienced fellow traveler. I have no objection to people who have to hunt for places to eat their diet (I am a Celiac).

Been 9 times on business. Last 6 times have been in Shenzhen. Sherko. And Hong Kong.
If I can help let me know.

Any skiers out there? I'm male, 70 and going on a skiing trip to Austria with my son (30) in March 2018. Although I am reasonably fit, due to a knee injury (skiing!) I'm only able to potter around the slopes while my son is a downhill racer! It would be great to meet up with anyone in a similar situation for the occasional foray around the slopes and perhaps a spot of apres ski.

Hi, i.m a 50 yr old single female. I am a comfortable solo traveller, i'm next going to Zakinthos solo in June 2018 , I am also looking to book a week away in Aug/Sept 2018, i'm thinking Crete or Kos since they are Greek Islands i've yet to visit, but am flexible so long as it's Greece and not a party resort. Cheap and cheerful chill out. Not looking for any kind of romantic encounter, would prefer a female companion, but don't want to feel joined at the hip,since I enjoy feeling I can do my thing without feeling overly obliged to 'keep someone else happy'

Hi Lina

I am going on a Rhine River Cruise for seven days at the end of August and am looking for one or two people to join me. I am also in my seventies and enjoy light classical music, country walks, table tennis, and painting. I love animals especially cats. I would give companions their own space on the cruise, it is NOT cabin sharing. It would be nice to have other singles to chat to at meal times.

Best wishes

Tricia

Hello
I'm a semi retired 59 year old fit and active male from Sussex who is looking for a travel companion. My partner still works full time and is not that interested in travel. I am flexible about where and when to go but I am interested in traveling to Europe, USA, Canada, South America, South East Asia or anywhere really. I will have time in January to March 2018.
I would be interested from anyone who is of a similar mind.
Regards
Mike
