Tentative Travel plans and itinerary for Alaska, Canada, Upper mid-west, and Northwest USA.
YOU, want to get to your farthest designation as quickly as you can and then venture on your return in more detail when traveling to and from. This trip is like a to and from with a circle.
Vehicle: Reconditioned 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4 x 4 with a 5.2 engine. 131,000 miles (designed for 300,000 miles. You find my reconstruction by going to the website with photos in the first album. www.flickr.com/photos/travelbuzz/sets . All body work will be finished beginning in April 2017. There is also a 20 cu.ft storage cargo carrier for the roof of the Jeep manufactured by Thule from Sweden. Besides a tow package on the jeep that can just about tow anything. Stereo system by Sony w/ disk and mp3 player, 4 speakers, two in the front doors and two large ( 10 to 12 in sq.) in the rear cargo area.
Your costs: 50/50 on all fuel and general maintenance of the jeep, food, lodging, etc, etc, etc. There is another cost divided 50/50 of the wear and tear of the Jeep and supplies to be agreed upon. There is a 300 dollar deposit that will be returned to you less any bills out standing. This deposit in non refundable 6 weeks before departure date of late May 30th, 2017, our tentative leaving date. You must commit for at least two months of the trip before any refund is refunded. The two months would bring us to Seattle, Washington USA for any transportation that you would need to travel anywhere.
I will also look into any added vehicle insurance that you may have to contribute for this trip with my insurance company. Canada will want proof and I must be insured for this country.
You, must have all documents, medicial insurance (please check), to enter Canada and back into the USA. You must send me proof of all your documents three months before we leave WITH YOUR 300 DOLLAR deposit.
you dont give us much to go on with. It would be worth putting up your age, what sort of companion, what you are interested in and looking for and maybe a pic
We would be delighted to accommodate a single lady/gentleman or couple from overseas in our home, and show them our beautiful area too if they wished.
I would prefer to correspond by email or social media initially to ensure that we are most likely to enjoy one another's company and get on well together!
We have 2 cats, & one very sweet dog...we may have 2 dogs soon as I am trying to persuade my husband that a Pug puppy would make a perfect addition to our family!
We are told that we are really nice, easy-going people with a good sense of humour, so we would enjoy acting as hosts to similar people, & hopefully become lifelong friends!
Please contact me if you will be visiting England during 2017, tell us something about yourself & partner if you have one, and we will take it from there!
Looking forward to making new, nice, interesting friends!
I'm an Australian living in Houston TX. I am a young 61yo, well travelled widow. It has been very lonely since my husband passed and I have been playing with different ideas of what I would like to do with my life from here on in. I have thought about selling my home and just moving around, but I worry about losing my home base security.
I am Italian by heritage and do speak the language. I have a lot of family in Italy and Australia, but I don't actually want to live in Australia again full time.
I have cruised a lot, I RV'd here in the US full time for 7 years with my husband (which I loved doing!) and although I am asset strong, cash flow is limited and there is still so much of the world and the US I would love to see, so if anyone needs a fun companion, I'd be open to it!
Finally someone from US. I live in IL, would like a travel companion
for Nepal Feb. 1st, 2017, are you interested?
Don't automatically presume because someone is friendly, or you meet them on a forum, whether it be SilverSurfers or not, they are who they say they are. If you meet with someone OFF the forum, ensure:
1. you meet in a public place
2.You let someone know where and who you're meeting
3. Don't give your home address to anyone until you know them very well.
4. If you give out a phone number - don't give your land line, use a mobile number, harder to trace than a land line.
5. If they start to ask about money, or say they're suffering financial difficulties be very aware.
6. Don't invite anyone in to your home just because you get on well in a forum - because it's no different to meeting a total stranger out and then inviting them home. People can get very lost in the "friends zone" of forums and presume someone is genuine.
7. Go on your gut instincts, they are usually spot on - if you feel something, no matter how small, or you can't quite put your finger on it, TRUST it and act upon it.
8. Never give money to someone even in person to book a holiday, or anything else that means passing over a considerable sum of money. This ONLY belongs to the people we have known a lifetime or a very, very long time.
For women looking for female travel companions, you might like

1) First contact in social network.
2) Text chat.
3) Exchange - and use - e-mail.
4) Phone contact - voice only.
5) Possibly Skype.
6) Arrange to meet in a public place and/or with safe persons in attendance.
The number is not large (*), about 6-8. All except one have become real friends. That one was not unsafe but we didn't hit it off and are no longer in touch.
(*) I learnt a Spanish proverb years ago: "Amigos y libros, pocos, buenos y bien conocidos".

It is such a shame that many people nowadays are on their own and would still like to venture abroad and enjoy the final years of their lives and maybe fulfill that bucket list.
Common sense i guess at the end of the day and only after a few meets and get to know someone before agreeing anything and most importantly pay at the same time for anything.
Good luck if you are in this position.
Keith
Keep trying, and just ask for help.
