I live in Sydney but coming to UK in ’16. My wife doesn’t travel, so looking for a companion for a couple of weeks. Have Skype. Address is [email protected]. I’m not sure of plans or dates as yet. Should like to correspond/skype beforehand. Have been making enquiries about a walking holiday in Cornwall, but am up in the air (as usual). Perhaps a river cruise on the canals??

Hi - I'm really keen to go to Mexico and possible Belize this autumn (2016). I am interested in the Day of the Dead ceremonies (around November 1st) and looking to see as many Aztec and Mayan sites as possible. And I want to see the National Museum in Mexico City. Having said that its got to be a holiday as well, and fun and I am happy seeing other stuff that people are interested in! Always glad to have my eyes opened to something different! I'm thinking of a 3 to 4 week trip. Happy to consider just one travelling companion or a small group. Mexico sounds like its easier to travel accompanied. If this appeals do leave a comment etc.

Hi,
I'm a 62year old lady, keen sailor, travelling to Australia at the end of January 2016 for one month, to see my son in Sydney. Anyone who has a boy of 29 knows that a whole month with them may be, 'a bit much', and we will need some time apart during my stay.
I would love to do some sailing maybe from Airlie Beach and visit the Whitsunday Islands. A change from Scottish sailing in cold weather! Anyone interested in joining me?

I have 2 small dogs so would love them to be able to share any holidays with me in the UK if someone else also has small dogs? Would love to go away for over christmas,,ANYWHERE!! Would love to make some new friends on here. Male or female.
Response from JAMES58 made on 4th Dec 2015 20:48:26
Hi,know exactly how you feelre finding someone to travel with,i have 4 or 5 free days over xmas,if you fancied Scotland over holiday period,im in Airdrie and would be happy to show you around ,like on a day to day basis,no strings,yes i appreciate it is out our comfort zone a bit,i,m just new on here too,let me know what you think
Response from JAMES58 made on 6th Dec 2015 16:06:08
If you have read this,your probably thinking same as me,i don,t even know this person,but i was thinking that if you were giving it any thought at all,then maybe you could book into a B and B locallyand as i said in previous ,maybe a bit of sightseeing during the day,i,m not sure,just a thought,think about it. James
Response from lajollaally made on 6th Dec 2015 20:20:36
Hiya james.... thanks for your reply,,, that sounds great,,,, but I've already booked a break with my friend and the 2 dogs now. I would love to see Scotland though. I used to be a member of Globalfreeloaders,, have you heard of it? Been to meet people in Scottsdale,AZ with that and had 2 different people from oz coming here to stay.
I am going to join it again and also make travelling buddies on there.
Fabulous way to meet people across the globe and stay in their house for free as long as you can offer the same back to another person wanting to visit Scotland,,, or where ever people live.
Nice of you to offer to show me around,, I have never been to Scotland and it looks beautiful. I love lakes and mountains,,,, can't climb up them mind,,,,,,,,lol.
Response from JAMES58 made on 7th Dec 2015 18:57:35
Thats good,at least your getting away,re your globalfreeloaders comment,i,m seriously looking at a couchsurfing site,i think that has got to be the way to go to try and keep costs down and experiences up,especially as i hope to go to America in 2017 for a few months,anyway enjoy your mini holiday,and if you ever want to come to Scotland in the future don,t hesitate to let me know,i,llarrange something,which involves no climbing,,,,,,,,

Evening looking for a travel companion, I'm newly divorced at 50 and would like to continue travelling but this will be my first solo holiday
Response from smudger15 made on 30th Nov 2015 13:59:13
Are you looking for a male or female companion? when you thinking of going and what type of holiday you interested in?
Response from heledw made on 30th Nov 2015 18:37:29
To be honest would prefer female, but happy to go with a male....
I have 7 weeks annual leave so I'm easy
I'm open to holiday choices .... What do you like.....
Response from smudger15 made on 1st Dec 2015 06:53:56
Im toying between an active holiday two week Peru with an Amazon trek or a lazy 10 days in Mauritius or even a cheap and cheerful holiday in cape verde or greece. depends on the time of year.
Response from heledw made on 1st Dec 2015 07:07:38
All of them sound fine, Peru holiday dependant on cost.... And date
Never been to Mauritius or Cape Verde
Love Greece
As I said I'm pretty flexible with holiday dates , prefer not in school holidays as difficult to request them dates as I have no school age children
Response from smudger15 made on 1st Dec 2015 20:32:23
Other than Greece Ive never been either. Im planning on Peru in November cost between 2-3k. The other pretty much depend on when you go. I never travel anytime when the school holidays are near...costs are way too high. Im in leicester, so not sure if that convenient or whether you want to wait to see if you get a female traveller.

Response from JAMES58 made on 4th Dec 2015 20:57:24
Hi,i,m a fairly active 58 year old,no more holidays left now until march,but certainly consider anything after then,i like to think i prefer a holiday/break thats a little bit out of my comfort zone,but then sometimes wonder if i,m kidding myself on,depends what day of the week it is,if you want to think about and get back to me to discuss more.
Response from smudger15 made on 4th Dec 2015 21:22:22
Ive made a few posting on here looking for someone to travel with. Looking at Peru in November. But would love a break beach break in Mauritius,Cape Verde or Greek Island.
Response from travelbug1 made on 4th Dec 2015 21:33:08
Hi I'd thought of Cape Verde a couple of years ago but having chatted to someone who'd been I'll give a miss quite expensive ok ish they said but not worth the cost x

hi james is there anyway you can inbox me on this site for more info ?
Response from JAMES58 made on 7th Dec 2015 18:48:49
I,m not that great on the computer,but i would think that if you contact the site team they might be able to help, i think that is probably the concept of this site,the fact that all contact is public,i understand your concern,to change the subject a bit,i,ve had a look had a couchsurfing site(not for Italy/Sardinia) but hopefully some point in the future,i would probably be up for that ,thoughts on that,travelbug??? anyone
Response from JAMES58 made on 9th Dec 2015 21:26:37
If your still considering,i can put my e mail address up if you want,,,,,,,james, thats all i can think of.

Hello my fellow SSer's

I'm a total newby to this website and forums so, please, be gentle with me...

Am planning on taking myself off to Gibraltar for five/six days at the beginning of February. I was there for only a few hours back in September (whilst on a cruise) and was amazed to see how the country has flourished over the past thirty years since my last visit.

Anyone out there fancy a few days of exploring, wining, dining, chatting, laughing and walking around the ragged rock?

I'm a well travelled individual who has a good sense of fun and enjoys meeting people.

Hi looking to cut the single room costs for the Maldives. Looking to go for three weeks, around the 26th January. I'm into diving and snorkeling, and photographing wildlife. I am an early riser and not one for staying up late. looking to get a good quality room on the beach or over water. I would estimate you would need a budget of around 4 grand ish, going on my own they want almost double !!!!!. Looking for a non smoker, this is purely for financial reasons, not looking for romance!!.
Response from cavedude made on 11th Dec 2015 12:50:01
Hiya, I am also into diving but the £4000 for Maldives is a bit steep, would you consider Sharm?
Response from Ruahri made on 28th Dec 2015 14:04:16
like swimming ,snorkeling and photography but limited to about £2500...can do it though if cheaper option available..

I'll be travelling around New Zealand ,both Islands, in Jan 2016, followed by a week travelling down the East coast of Australia from Cairns to Sydney. In Christchurch I'll be staying with friends, however they won't be able to accompany me on the rest of the tour. I have a rental car along with accommodation already booked.
So this is a long shot, but if there are any like minded individuals that would like to join me for any part of the trip that would be awesome.

I'm a somewhat active 57 y.o Carpenter from B.C , Canada and like to be outdoors, hiking, camping, fishing. Whilst in New Zealand l'll be hiking the Tongariro crossing and Kepler Track for sure as well as enjoying other easy walks and beautiful scenery along the way.

I,ve found that as well,and tend to find that if you are prepared to spend a bit of time online and alter your timetable slightly there are bargains out there to be had,especially nice hotels at good prices,but i,m in process of looking at couchsurfing i would be well up for that(i think),i,m ok with roughing it a bit,they say its character building,if i can do it online anyone can,i am rubbish on the computer but even i can get flights etc,do you fancy Italy/Sardinia about May someone else on this forum says she may be interested,let me know what you think,where would you like to see?
Response from smudger15 made on 8th Dec 2015 14:01:17
Id be interested, but its everyones locale that could be the issue. Im in Leicester.
Response from smudger15 made on 9th Dec 2015 17:48:38
good old pompey. I spent many satudays at fratton park with a pint or two in the Artillery Arms before the match.
Response from JAMES58 made on 9th Dec 2015 21:33:07
You will probably struggle to get people from your own area to allwant to go same place, same time of year,from same airport, if interested in Italy/Sardinia you would be better meeting at Rome airport as this would be the common denominator for 90% of people from UK,,,,,,,? James
