Starting a travel group if anyone is interested. I'm located near Cambridge but anyone is welcome if we could arrange a meet up somewhere. Btw..... I often travel up to the North of England to see relatives, so could meet somewhere around North Lancashire.

Have a look in Travel section of Forum for details. It would be nice to have a mix of people. (I'm from the North and find Northerners particularly friendly and hospitable).

Hope to hear from you soon 🙂

Smudger15 and Pilkie ..... maybe you could leave a message on the TRAVEL GROUP post that I've written in

COMMUNITY > FORUM > TRAVEL .... we may get more people interested who have similar travel plans to you/us. It's not a very easy site to navigate around so it's best if all the info is in one place.
Perhaps you could mention a bit about yourselves and what kind of travel you are interested in.

Thx 🙂

Hi All, Re my posting a few months ago regarding travel Companions to Kerala, headed "Marigold Hotel". Owing to the popularity of this film and series all sensible priced accomodation already booked for the next year or so! On to Plan B on my Travek Wish List.!

Anyone out there who would like to join be on a trip to Sri Lanka leaving Heathrow 9th January 2018 for around 18 days? I have researched different reputable Travel Companies and come up with the following deal which I consider excellent value for money, 4 and 5 star hotels, most meals be it half board majority of days, flights from Heathrow, spending 14 days in Sri Lanka and a taster of 4 nights in Kerala, this includes all flights, transfers, plus 7 days touring Sri Lanka, 4 nights beachside resort etc., total cost at this moment £2380 per person sharing twin room, single room occupancy extra charge. This Itinery is not fixed and could be amended to suit anyone traveling with me.

If of interest please contact me.

Looking for a travel companion 50-70 for short European trips initially, with perhaps some kind of activity (tennis, cycling etc), although this isn't absolutely necessary.

I would like to go somewhere warm next week but can I find anything I like, I don't want to go to a noisy hotel in Spain and places I have liked don't want a single. Just thought I would get that off my chest!

Response from KimFh made on 20th May 2017 18:12:49
I don't do too hot, I just want to get out of the rain and cold but it was just a whim, I went to Cologne in March and the weather was beautiful.
Response from KimFh made on 20th May 2017 18:13:40
It isn't hot in May, I said warm not hot.

New to the board, a senior male, currently living in South Florida. I am looking to develop a
friendship with a compatible female travel partner who enjoys the more ecletic style of travel. Wine country trips, cultural endeavors, ethnic investigations, wildlife trekks, and those sorts of things.
I try to take two or three journeys a year and am looking now at a September or October run through the Loire valley perhaps on a barge - but open to similar ideas.

Obviously there needs to be some preliminary contact to establish a cordial working relationship. I am open to come visit in order to establish an introduction. I can meet anywhere in the US or Canada for that purpose, or I could fly to London for a few days to do the same.

Looking forward to chatting with like minded travelers.

I am new to this sight. I am a 64 year old retired man from Canada..... well travelled and in pretty good physical condition. I am just starting to plan an 8 week trip to the Scandinavian countries for later this year.... thinking sometime in the August to October time window. Looking into the feasibility of renting a small car..... having a travel companion would make the trip much more fun and make the car rental much more possible from a financial point... Any interest out there?

Hi there,
I'm looking for company to travel Japan and possibly South Korea with for a couple of days at the end of September 2017 (I can be quite variable with dates and duration).
I‘d prefer a like-minded companion(s) who is a similar age as me. I am an easy going, fun loving and physically fit guy.
Anyone interested?

Paris in August 2017? I'm a single straight female from the US (California) who is looking for someone to pal around with while in Paris from 29 July to 21 August. I already booked a 1BR flat in the 2nd arrondissement and am open to sharing it with another female; gents would need to have their own accommodations. Taking short trips from Paris by train is also an option. Lyon? Loire Valley? Other? I have never been to France so it will all be new to me.

Newbie to this website, male, late 50’s. Slipped out of work and now have more time to travel. Much prefer company of women but companionship only is sought.
Have an itinerary for Southern Italy (Bari/Brindisi) taking in Trani, Matera, Alberobello and sophisticated Lecce, thinking Monday 29th May-Tuesday 6th June but some flexibility: any interest?
I’ve seen suggestions of travel clubs within posts. Is there one in south Bucks? Or good to set up? It would provide an opportunity to meet up.

I'm a 61 year old lady living in North London and retired from my job as a primary school deputy headteacher last Summer.

Although I have a wide circle of friends, I do not have anyone to holiday with. I enjoy cruising and would also like to visit the Canadian Rockies, go on the Rocky Mountainer train and an Alaska cruise.

I am an independent person, clean and considerate and would love to find a female ( between 50 & 70) to share a cabin / room to reduce costs and to have some company.

Please get in touch if you are interested. It would be good to meet up beforehand ( if possible).

Hello Bwf .....The Rocky Mountaineer train including Banff and an Alaskan cruise are on my wish list. ........ I am an early retired professional lady, non-smoker, living in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands. I am usually reliable and easy-going and have been hoping to find a genuine travel companion. I have been on a number of cruises, and would like to see more of the world in this way. Hoping to hear from you and agree it is best to meet up before making any arrangements.
Response from Metime made on 25th Feb 2017 15:08:40
BWF

I was fortunate to to do this trip a few years ago. I was preparing to go alone when one of my friend asked to join me. Over 14 days we did a land cruise by coach around Banf and Lake Louise, Crossed the Rocky Mountains by train. We then boarded a Princess cruise ship and travelled the Tracy's Arm passage around Alaska .... It was one of the best holidays I've ever had and I'd go again in a heart beat. I hope you find a travel companion to join you on your travels as you will have an amazing trip.

Happy Traveling.

hello
i am also recently retired from primary school teaching - although still doing a little bit of supply - to fund further holidays. recently back for an Australia and New Zealand cruise. I did this with two other widows. i had a great time but they will not travel long haul again as they found it too much. I live in Worcestershire and am open to holidays anywhere. I travelled a lot when my husband was alive and am keen to continue doing this whilst I m fit and well!!
regards
