I am looking for a cruise companion to share the cost of the cabin as to go solo its just too expensive. I am a 58 years young non smoker and easy going. No strings attatched maybe meet up in the evening for dinner and possible excursions. I did meet a very nice gentleman on here last year and we had a wonderful 24 day cruise so i know its possible to find a suitable person to share with.
I am only interested in no fly cruising and would love to find someone who would be interested in in a two ship 38 day cruise to the Bahamas,new york and canada leaving in June 2018.
Would be happy to hear from any future cruise mates.
I dont know if i am allowed to leave my e mail address but here goes as its easier for me to reply direct via e mail than on the site.
[email protected].

Really hoping to hear from you cruisers out there.

Think I have given up on the Cambodia and Vietnam trip as no seems to want to go. Could be the cost. And time. However plan But. I know it's not red hot in February only 15/19 degree
But Cyprus 5 star hotel AI for £299 with a third week free on BB. Any dates Jan or Feb with own room. If interested email me on [email protected]. only liked rooms per hotel
But 4/ 5 should not because problem. Every one pays own flight and hotel bill. Stop protected. Twin rooms work out slightly cheaper

Hi All,

Really useful information relating to the Shearing coach holidays.
I only recently started using the Coach holidays and have been to the Isle of Wight and to St Ives with Alfa travel. And on both occasion, there were more people below 60yrs than those above. And I very much enjoyed the excursions which is actually the plus for me without feeling lonely and getting bored.

I am currently looking at the trip to Spain-Salou in March 2018, maybe l am late in booking? as l may need to pay an extra £149 for the single room instead of £306....not fair, not fair :-((
Please are there better options out there?
And maybe, by a miracle, there is another female out there who will want to go for the same trip and we can share a double room?

Thanks

Hi I am a 62 year old from Austin, TX looking to travel around Mexico or South America beginning toward the end of October 2017. I have traveled alone a lot and looking for companion for this trip to share details and ideas. I've traveled Central America, India on multiple occasions, Holland, Germany, Belgium and France in the past.

Hi Kim
Did you find a small group or individuals that want to go away for christmas.
Response from KimFh made on 25th Sep 2017 11:57:27
Hello to all interested in going somewhere for Christmas sorry I hadn't replied sooner I didn't think anyone had replied. Any suggestions, hotel, apartment, villa and where? Somewhere warm Cyprus, Greece or colder as in Switzerland etc? I can't seem to find the main thread all the replies have been separated I think. Kim

Greetings! I'm a young at heart lady of 61, who is looking for a genuine travelling friend/friends to travel to Kerala, India around the middle to end of November for around 6-8 weeks. I would like to go to an Ayurvedic Centre for a couple of weeks & then travel to other parts of Kerala. I've been once before in 2014 & absolutely loved it! I was brought up in different parts of Arabia, have travelled to Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, France, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey & India, so there's still loads to explore!!! I love nature, different cultures, music, sunshine & meeting new & interesting people 🙂

I am 51yo and would like to do a bit of travelling to more unusual destinations, the ones on my bucket list include Japan, Botswana & PNG. I have much more time free than my friends so am looking for a travel companion.

I have have health concerns that affect my mobility and stamina. I don't need a carer but would like to travel with someone who is independent so, the days I need to rest they are OK to explore on their own, I can contribute to costs incurred.

I am London-based and would expect to do a local UK trial runs away before any big adventure.

Let me know if this interests you; we can chat.

Hi everyone,

I have just joined and am looking for female companion/s 45+ (I am young 62), to go to either Los Angeles or Grand Canyon next Spring/Summer for 10 days or so. I live in London UK so would preferably like to meet people within travelling distance so we can meet first. Anyone interested please message me. Thanks!
Response from jvm2224 made on 15th Sep 2017 23:20:37
Done both more than once. After two days in either place you will get bored and start looking for more. Suggest starting in Portland (2 days) , on to Seattle (3-4 days) and then ending in Vancouver (very international). A land of mountains, ferries, and expresso. Never tire of it.
Response from Laine01 made on 17th Sep 2017 13:39:58
Thanks for input jvm, I am hoping to go on tours such as Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Palm Beach etc etc. Only going for 10-14 days so should be enough to see I would imagine.

57yr old man, like city breaks throughout Europe, maybe further. I like travelling alone but some female company would make for better holidays. Non smoker but like sitting outside bars having a beer. Bit overweight but exercising again. Mostly dressed in jeans and shirt but don't mind going smart. Live just outside Glasgow, Scotland.

I am a 65 yr old widow and I live in Cape Town, South Africa.
I am hoping to do an overland, camping trip through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and possibly into Zambia and Zimbabwe, during our cooler months of April till September. There are many game reserves on the route and some amazing places to see.

I have all the basic equipment needed and I am an experienced 4x4 driver and I have had plenty of Safari experience.

This is not a trip for the faint hearted or physically challenged. It is a true adventure......please email me at [email protected] if you are interested in joining me and sharing expenses.

Cheers

Hi All

Have just returned from a few months exploring Namibia and Botswana. Am now looking for a traveler to join me for a 6 week safari to Zambia and Malawi. Will be leaving from Windhoek in Namibia about the 20th October 2017 and the trip will end in Lusaka, Zambia. Will be exploring as many game Parks as possible and spending time game spotting and bird watching and meeting and learning about the local communities.

My 4x4 Landcruser is fully equipped and I can take one passenger, male or female. I would like to share costs.

My dates are flexible.

Cheers
