I have been a widow for close to one year. My home is in the US, but I work in Bucharest, Romania right now. It is no fun to travel alone. I am looking for a female travel companion
for short city breaks. I love culture, good food, good wine, but I also enjoy quiet and nature.
I am a very young 66, active and energetic.

Hi
I am interested in going on a cruise, or coach holiday, air holiday. I will consider any place. I do love the mountains and have a wish list and one day would like to go to the North Pole, Iceland, or Norway.

I am also interested in animals so a safari would also be nice.

However, I am up for going many places so please get in touch.

I live in Lancashire near The Lake District.

Bye for now and love to hear from you.

skyatnight

Hi janis9961
You sound a bit like me.
I am heading to Faro Portugal for 4 days in March.
Still cheap flights available lol
I have been mulling over the following for this year, no particular order.
Croatia. Montenegro. Switzerland.
Bratislava.

What kind of places do you like?

I also like my own space. It's nice to do your own thing sometimes and meet up at the end of the day.
PM me if interested in talking.

At last found the correct place. The main reason I joined was to suss out travel companions/buddies.
I work full time so can't really do weeks and weeks at a time.
Since I became a lone traveller I have preferred to do short breaks. This for me lessens the chance of feeling lonely. Although I always manage to have a conversation with someone most days.

I did do 3 weeks in Canada in 2015 to mark my 60th
Only had a couple of days when I felt lonely. I loved my trip and want to go back sometime in the next couple of years.
Part 2 coming soon

It seems characteristic of social networks. There are a number of possible reasons. Keith

Hi there ,,,i,m not on here that often now ,,,unfortunately i find it quite a difficult site to negotiate,,,but that might just be me ,,,the couple of people i have had a chat with are possibly more on here for the chat than the actual act of travelling,,,i,m not criticising the site obviously some people get out of it what they are looking for,,,,but on the bright side i have met one serious female traveller and we have met up and have planned a weekend away in near future,no strings,,,so maybe worth to keep trying,,,,get back in touch,,,J

Hi - my first post. I'm looking for an over 55 travel companion - pretty much anywhere (except no snow or ice)! Also for anyone interested in reciprocal hosting - I host for 1 week or more here on Vancouver Island (you would have your own self contained suite) then you host. An interest in some pleasant, safe road/trail cycling would be a bonus.

Hi Lindyloo - from the Isle of Wight. I'm also on my own and love to travel. I have a friend in the IOW in Freshwater Bay and we travel together frequently, although have not been in touch quite so much lately. Perhaps I could visit you on the Isle with a view to planning some travel. What do you think?

I would be up for that. Love taking week end breaks but difficult with no companion to share with.

Hi I am a very, very young at heart with a lot of friends who are much younger, and therefore haven't got the money or work-free time that I have, particularly now that I intend to use my pension to pretty much travel all the time. have been to quite a few countries inthe past, though nothing that exotic. i am about to take my van to Europe for the rest of the winter, and maybe do some Workaways, but very interested to find like-minded people as traveling companions after that.
Response from Lindajean123 made on 6th Dec 2016 08:37:39
Sounds very interesting David...I cant sit around any more waiting for life...when will you be thinking of going?
