Hi, my name is Gary, I'm a fit, straight, 67 year old and have lived in Melbourne Australia for the last 32 yrs. I emigrated from Christchurch in Dorset. I have spent many years traveling the world as a solo traveler. I am easy going, like beach and culture and good wine and food. I know it's a long way off but I am touring France for three weeks in August 2018 by car and Spain for four weeks in September by car. If anyone, male or female, is interested I will email you my proposed itinerary and you can decide if you would like to share all or part of my journey. I intend to use Airb&b as a I travel where there are plenty of two bedroom homes and apartments to rent.

HI Gary. I live in France near the border with Geneva, 80 kms from Chamonix. If you plan to come to this part of France let me know and I'll show you around Geneva. I plan to go to Australia in 2019 so you could return the favour in Melbourne!

I am a 51 year old wan who has just come off a wdeks cruising holiday with her sister but don't want to be depending on my sister all time as it's expensive to go away with me and then her husband.I like travel to nice locations but not teLly into placed such as Thailand or very long haul flights somewhere you can be i.I'm about no longer than t hpurs.we like to do another cruise at some stage but don't jave anything planned at minute.I'm not rich so it takes time to Dave but we just like to know when somethi gs in place I'd have someone decent and trustworthy to go with.don't really mind if my travel companion is male or female though from a practical point of view female might be more suited when it comes to acvomodation.but either good.alsoust be within travel distance to me I'm fr Belfast so no point if they aren't within driving distance though I don't drive.so would have to be them well I guess that's all for now

Hello,

Have you had success with your enquires to find a companion for next year? I could go next year if you are still looking for a companion. I am new to this site so not sure how to proceed. I live in Suffolk.

I'm a 63 year old British male living in Aquitaine in France, I've lived in France for most of my life and speak fluent french. I like to escape for the winter between October and April in my camper van, travelling down through Spain to Morocco. I've been a life-long cyclist and I took up paragliding two years ago which I'm fairly well addicted to now, so I travel between flying sites and if the weather is unflyable I do something else. I also play guitar (slide), love backgammon and enjoy cooking. I do have a television in the van but I've never switched it on!In Spain I'm usually inland, in Morocco (Dec - March) I'm always near the coast. I did a similar trip to this last year (2016/2017), alone, and although I like my own company, to have shared the experience would have made it even better, so if you are a reasonably fit female (not necessarily a cyclist or paraglider) and fancy a bit of winter sun, all's you need to do is fly to an airport and I'll collect you. A bientot.

hi, sounds good… I’m a 60 year old German female living in Spain for the last 37 years. I’ve travelled a lot, mostly alone, but quite easy going with company as well. I’m a musician and former dancer and do have a project for later this year, so might not be able to join on the whole trip but maybe part of it. Get in touch if interested – I could also imagine meeting somewhere halfway between Aquitaine and Barcelona. A bientôt j'espère

Hi, I'm on Dartmoor. Newly retired teacher in my early 60s. I hope to gain a, place to study for a Masters in September. I have many many places I want to see. Too many to list here. I'd like to find a female travelling companion. My husband is older than me and can't do heat. The only no is a cruise. Sorry, not remotely interested. I've been to Rome, Greece, NYC, Majorca, Lanzarote and that's it! I need to see much more of the world. So, if you're of a similar mindset, please get in touch.
Response from LesleyG8 made on 2nd Aug 2017 15:05:55
Hi HilaryO,

I live in Suffolk and am looking for somebody to accompany me to Kenya on Safari if you are interested. This is a once in a lifetime chance for me. I am 63 and don't want to wait much longer to go there. My partner isn't interested in seeing wild animals and also not good with the heat. I can travel any time of the year.

I would like to hear from you.
Response from MarieH5 made on 8th Aug 2017 22:31:58
Hi Hilary, I just posted for someone to go to Johannesburg and Victoria falls next year, but involves train journey on Rovos. i'm looking at June but can go later too outside of the school holidays.

Hi Yodama
Sounds very interesting. Where are you taking off from and what do you hope to explore?

Hi Yodama

Tried telephathy but the wave lengths are all over the place. For such an advanced species surely you have some simple ways to communicate with the available electronics?
Journey of a lifetime? I am game if you are although I prefer simple and slow things on the high seas.

Response from Devsosi made on 4th Aug 2017 22:51:20
Hi again
I am in Swansea. Not a million miles from Devon. Well done.
Don't wear shorts or flip flops.
Speed I am used to. Doesn't phase me. In fact I love it.
Looks like We are gonna have to find a different communication highway. Leave that to your imagination

Any holidays planned on Mother Earth? Would be nice to compare notes.

Hello there
I am in my 70's and and my main interest is France and driving through the various regions which I do many times in the year on my own but would like some company on the drive. I am looking to chat with someone who might be interested to share travel costs and is interested in France and the food, wine and culture . My plan for early 2018 is to drive towards the area of Languedoc - Rousillon where the sun shines for more days in the winter/early spring and it is not too hot but warm enough sit outside.

I’m looking for someone to come on holiday with me from time to time, overseas and UK.
I am a fit, young-at-heart, semi-retired male who is married but whose wife doesn’t like travelling or spending time away from our lovely home.
I love animals, countryside and sea and have been known to enjoy a drink or two and good meal. I am hoping to find a slim, like minded lady who doesn’t want to travel alone and would enjoy company. I would welcome hearing from you.
I have no fixed views on the type of holidays, or destinations, being open to ideas.
If finance is a problem I may be prepared to subsidise the first holiday.
I live near Wokingham in Berkshire and, being semi-retired, am able to take holidays at almost any time.
This is the first time I have ever taken such steps to find a lady travel companion and trust I haven’t implied, or hinted at, anything untoward.
