When this is all over I would like...

Hi everyone...I'm new to the site and just had a brainwave! I'm 64 and I live in The Peak District. Like many 'older' people I've found myself becoming quite isolated.


My 'regular' travel partner (my son...had him late in life) is going off to uni soon and also of course wants to mix more with his peers than a copy of Victor Meldrew.....only joking!


Anyhoo. to get to the point....what I want is to contact like-minded travel lovers who may be interested in joining me for some....well, travel. The UK or abroad...either are good. The last away day I had....5 nights actually...was to Stockholm....wonderful city and country! Hejda for nu

Hi just joined 2day & find site quite baffling. Are you still interested in travel companions or have you found them now? Hope I can locate your post again!

Hi Trendy123
I see you reply to a few peoples comments, where abouts are you and where are you looking to travel.
I’m in Shropshire and I put a post on a few days ago looking for a travel buddy for Canada, but I’m open to all places as it’s a bit world out there.
If interested please feel free to contact me.
This is not the easiest of sites to use!
Regards
Maria

Hi Maria

Nice to hear from you.
I was on holiday in Ludlow last year and loved Shropshire. I am in Cheshire so if we decide to meet up it would be an hour's drive mid-way. Unfortunately I have Covid at the moment, after dodging it for 3 years and have been really ill. Have done Canada, but not all of it, so open to discussion. Did have in mind Europe and the Med for this year though and have booked 2 weeks in June to Spain and 1 week to Wales in August.

Would it be best if I contact you again when I am Covid free or would you like to speak by phone or swap private emails? Are our message exchanges private, so no one can view our private contact details?

Best wishes
Annie

If this post is still "live", then, yes, I would be interested. I live in the Peak District, so would find it easy to meet and discuss.
Hope to hear from you.

Hello Everyone,
Looking for a travel companion to join me on some trips abroad . I am in my sixties and really looking forward to this new phase in my life.
.
My family now raised and am newly separated... it would be lovely to meet a like minded travel companion when Covid travel restrictions are lifted.


I live in Dublin and would like to meet travel companions from Ireland and UK.
Looking forward to meeting new people. Rosa.

I have just joined the site, I think that sounds like a very good idea and I would be interested in UK travel.

I think the chat button is private so best to arrange a time.

A cautious yes not interested in travel for the sake of it but more for a cultural experience. But having spent a quiet 5 years in France then nearly three back in the UK I am very keen for new experiences and company. Tell us more about yourself so everyone knows if you would be good company 🙂

Hi Streudal,

I don't know what I am supposed to say to seem like 'good company'. 🙂

I'm not a convicted murderer, I like culture rather than a 'beach holiday', I love city breaks but only in cities where there is a history of 'culture'.

On that subject what is 'culture' anyway? What i enjoy and what another may enjoy can be very differing things.

Perhaps we could have a private chat?

I can tell you anything here to seem like 'good company'...like all online sites though what you are told and what is true can be two different things!

If you really do want to know more about me then message me!
