I am not a fan of large tours or coach tours, so my son, who is a travel professional, has arranged a fantastic luxury private bespoke itinerary for me, staying in 5 star hotels, flying between cities where possible (met at the airports), and with a comfortable and spacious Toyota Innova 7-seater people mover vehicle with professional English speaking driver/guide anytime a vehicle is required.
The itinerary spends 2 nights in New Delhi, before flying to Varanasi (holy city on Ganges river), then flying to Agra (Taj Mahal) for 2 nights. We then drive to Ranthambore National Park, where we stay for 2 nights on wildlife safari hoping to view tigers in the wild. From Ranthambore we drive into the desert province of Rajasthan to the city of Jaipur for 2 nights. (famous for spectacular forts and fascinating bazaars). Then back to Delhi to finish.
The itinerary is fantastic, and very well priced. It will include all accommodation in 5 star hotels, buffet breakfast every morning except in Ranthambore where the itinerary includes all meals. The itinerary has lots of great inclusions.
Now I am looking for one or two (max) senior travel companions who are well travelled and active and interested to accompany me for this 10 day travel.
Please contact me if you are interested or know someone who might be.
Regards Kim

I tend to do lots of research beforehand -ask friends and even complete strangers you have happened to speak to from the area / country you want to go for their recommendations / ideas of places they would go to back home. You can then book the cheap flight at a time and airport to suit you, and contact the hotels / use travelgo etc.
I am a widow and love to travel by train, plane or foot.
love walking in the alps or anywhere in Europe or Great Britain.
Love to camp. Looking for somebody to share my travels, no matter weather it's she or he, but must be in good health.
I do not sleep much as I like to be on the move.
Is anybody out there who could be my travel partner?
sounds amazing! but unfortunately would not have that kind off money available. So good luck and hope you find some very lucky people on this site that would be in a position to take up your offer.

DO you have anything in mind??
A comment: I'm new on the site, the user interface puzzles me sometimes, but already I have the impression that responses to questions are not forthcoming.
Personally I believe that communication is part of the purpose of this exercise. Even if we don't arrange a travel project then talking about plans is worthwhile.

I'm a retired American who loves to travel more than my wife does, and in ways and to places she'd never dream of going.
I have always wanted to ride the Trans-Siberian express, and I'd even love to be able to say I went from London to Hong Kong by train. Needless to say she won't go along and there's no way she'd ever let me go alone either. I'm too old and too diabetic for that and she's right!
So, as preposterous as the idea is, I'd still like to keep it on my bucket list a while, while I see if there's anyone out there here who'd even remotely contemplate something along these lines. Say late summer 2016.
I read your profile and I found it interesting, I'm a women in my 60' and my husband doesn't like to travel, I'm Swiss-Italian, and live between Italy and England. It's funny because just today I was thinking that a trip with the Trans-Siberian train would be a great adventure, and as soon as I opened the internet, I found your post, so I thought "this could be destiny!!".
To be honest, I was looking for a female companion, but given that our interests are so similar (classical music, opera, arts and history), I was tempted to write to you, one never knows!
If you are interested let me know.
kind regards
Claudia
I too wish to go on trans-Siberian train and for that matter anywhere by train as far as possible.
I would be interested in joining you if you'd like.
