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

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.

Hello. I'm 55 straight married lady looking for female companion to travel to Rome with me in September for a week.. I have lovely apartment lined up. 2 bedrooms/bathrooms. Husband not interested in travel and previous friends/family now unable to go for a variety of reasons. Like to have alone time occasionally - don't need entertaining, but don't want to go alone. Love classical architecture, culture, etc. Have been 3 times already - so much to see. Like to chill/chat, take it as it comes. I am just outside Edinburgh, fly from there, so anyone in the area interested, we could meet for a coffee, etc.
Thanks for reading.

Hi,
I Am a young 62 year old , retired and like to think I'm easy going. I live just outside Brighton, other side of the country I know but I think it is possible.
I'm in the same situation as you but my husband is still working so can't get the time off . I have been to Rome but would like to go again . what do you think ?
Ginni
Response from CG62 made on 14th Jul 2017 08:42:36
Hi Ginni
Tried to get private chat with you but it wouldn't connect. This sounds like a plan! Normally I fly direct from Edinburgh with ryanair which goes to Ciampino. From there, my lovely hosts pick me/us up and take us direct to the house (and back). Takes all the hassle out of worrying about transfers. I'm sure we could work something out. As the private chat thing doesn't seem to be working, if you would like to contact me direct by email first of all, we can find out a little about each other and I think we'll both then get a "feel" as to whether we'll work - but I can't see why not as you've responded to my spiel! My email is [email protected]. Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi
I love travelling but hate travelling on my own. As you get older you dont seem to have many friends and the ones you have dont have any money to travel.
So I am looking for someone to travel with, just to socialise, have a drink, chat so that it is not so boring.

Hi there....I'm 59 years old & live in Preston, Lancashire. Am still working & love to have a couple of beach holidays each year if possible. I normally go away with one of my daughters, as my friends are all now in relationships, so tend to go away with their partners. Would love to hear from anyone in my neck of the woods interested in being a travel buddy 🙂

Hi All,
I have booked a cruise for two from Anchorage to Vancouver from August 13 to 20th. My sister was going to go with me but has just started a new job and had to cancel on me. I am looking for someone to take her place. The cruise is with Holland America on the Zaardam in section E with a window. I will be going up a week early to see Denali, Kenai and some of the other sites.
If you would be interested in either joining me for the cruise, land visits or both, please let me know.
I am new to this site, so not sure what happens next, but hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,

Hi Kathy. My name is Alan and I just ran across your post. I am an active 64 yr. old man from Louisiana. I have wanted to take an Alaskan cruise but not alone. I love to do anything outdoors. Motorcycled to Fairbanks in 2012. I was curious about your location. I have not done much research on this cruise as I can`t find anyone that is on fire for Alaska cruises. Seems all want the Caribbean scene. Would like to chat with you about this trip if you have the time. Thanks Alan

Hi, Just joined. I am a 68 year young retired teacher, now realtor with a husband who doesn't want to travel. My dream cruise is on Oceania (been on Celebrity and its good but would like to upgrade because I am a real foodie). Leaves Rome for 20 days in October 2018 to Venice...fabulous ports along the way. Anyway, I am looking for female cruise companion on that cruise or perhaps another. I am a non-smoking, fun, easy going gal. I live on a small island off the east coast of Vancouver Island. Let me know if you are interested in getting together or at least meeting online.
THX,

I am looking at an Oceania cruise to Tahiti 10 days in Jan 2019----I figure it will take that long to find a cabin mate, and I can't afford the double cost if I don't. I've cruised with 5 different cruise lines, mostly RCCL, had never heard of O. before; the ONLY thing they have going for them is the itinerary. Their customer service reputation is appalling---all about greed Your Rome to Venice cruise sounds divine. I love Italy. Let me know if Tahiti appeals to you!
Response from CadWestCoaster made on 26th Jun 2017 19:17:30
Hello,
I might possibly be interested in the Tahiti cruise in 2019. I have a daughter in Australia and if she is still there by then, I might want to travel in that direction! I am hoping to find someone for Oceania cruise 2018 or possibly even 2017 (leaving Sept. 29) I like the itinerary a little better than the 2018 one. It is getting pretty booked up but let me know if you would like me to send it to you or the 2019 cruise. Both in the Mediterranean.
Are you living in England or North America?

I have a deposit in on a 10 day Tahiti cruise for January 2019. I won't be able to afford it myself, without a cabin share. Prefer F traveler; mostly looking to share costs; I've shared with friends and strangers in the past and it has ( almost ) always worked out! Will provide more details about the trip and myself if interested

Recent widow, and just joined Silversurfers today...78 yrs. old but looks a lot younger that people mistakes my older son to be my husband, maybe because he's got salt and pepper hair and I have brown, courtesy of Madame L'Oreal...lol
Anyway, I've traveled a lot to the European Continent while I was actively working, but now that I've retired, I mostly just do cruises with friends, but is lonely because they have their husbands, but mine, unfortunately, has gone to Heaven with our middle son, so you can just imagine how depressed I am, though lonely is more like it.
Being an Aries, I speak my mind, besides, at my age and having gone thru life where my husband had massive heart attack from 1978 yet, I don't have much time to waste, want to have a happy life, cruising with a tall, personable, and educated man who has same interest. So, there you are...
