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 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
Response from Far horizon made on 10th Sep 2017 13:41:17
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

Exotic Marigold Hotel Inspired..

Any adventurous retirees who would like to join two friends and myself to make up a group of 6 to 8 people to spend 16 to 30 days in Kerala? Hotel or Home Stay based and explore this beautiful part of India at a leasurely pace!

If you think that you may be interested I would love to hear from you.
Response from still made on 26th Feb 2017 11:30:12
Also inspired by Exotic Marigold Hotel and very interested in Kerala. Not yet retired but can organise long holidays. A bit about myself - I am a 63 year old widow. Work full time but easing gently in to a quieter lifestyle. Have travelled fairly extensively in Europe. Australia, Russia, and USA. Looking for somewhere new. Am easy going - happy alone and in a group. Would love to know more about your thoughts/plans
Response from still made on 26th Feb 2017 13:07:21
Count me in! I am interested in hearing more about your plans.
Response from FernC made on 26th Mar 2017 18:04:24
I would be interested in this. I am 63, recently retired from Primary teaching desperate to see more of the world whilst I am active, fit and well. My husband has no desire for long distance travel. I live in Hertfordshire and would be glad to chat about this, unless your arrangements have already been finalised.
Response from rutinka made on 28th Aug 2017 16:22:48
I am very interested in this. Regards Ruth, Brighton, 72
Response from KimFh made on 6th Sep 2017 11:32:43
There is an organised tour on here now, doesn't seem very expensive and it is based on the Marigold Hotel experience. Looks interesting I am considering it.
