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?
Devsosi

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

Hi Yodama
Neither I am afraid.
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.

I'm looking for a straight female to travel to the Smoky Mountains with me next month who is friendly and shares my Christian values. I'd like to visit Mammoth Caves, and to spend time in the national park at both dawn and dusk, looking to spot wildlife. I had planned to take this trip alone, but when I discovered the opportunity to travel with a companion, the idea appealed to me. Sharing the cost with someone is a big plus, too.

Hi, I am a 58 year old semi retired male and due to travelling with work and coming out of a relationship find myself without someone to travel with, also the cost imposed on us solo travellers, therefore I would like to find a platonic travel companion or a few of us for a 2 week holiday to Crete in September, sharing the cost,
I have been to Crete a couple of times and love to venture out of the tourist traps and meet the true Greeks as they are lovely generous people, love to spend time on the beach and boat trips
If anyone likes the sound of this please get in touch to see if we can arrange something which suits us,
I am a new member and have still to finalise my profile photo etc
Response from StephanieA made on 14th Jul 2017 15:53:15
I might be interested, will be in the UK in September. Maybe we could chat.

Hi am Liz in Sheffield, am 71single and retired, I frequently travel alone and also find single suppliments expensive, and also I do get loney especially after dinner! I am a very outgong lady, love sightseeing and social events, am especially keen on European cities and like galleries and historical places as well as the culture theatre and wining and dining. Love to hear back.
