The best place where to find & meet travel buddies

After you’ve created your profile and are dead set to travel, the trip companion finder you’ll find here enables you to set up your own trip for others to see, where you’ll fill the following:

- Selected destination,
- Journey type (backpacking, city break, beach, etc.)
- Your itinerary
- The languages you speak
- Who you’re looking for (male or female)
- Budget
- Whether you wish to split cost,
- How you plan to get around (car, bike, bus, train, boat, plane…)
- Accommodation you plan to stay in (campside, homestay, hotel, etc.)
- Whether you want to link up in person before, or wish to communicate by other means

Of course you’re free to post any other details you wish to share with your potential travel mate in the description! Then all you have to do is wait for your online travel partner to respond!

Need a travel partner buddy… or perhaps a local who knows the area?

Of course, you don’t need to set up your own trip, especially if you have no clear idea in your mind so far. Just browse the offers of those who do and see if you find something to match your expectations. Looking for people to travel with can be simpler than a window-shopping! Once you find something that sparks your curiosity, jump at the opportunity and contact the trip organiser. Do some chatting, have a skype conference, perhaps even meet in person to see if you’d get along well. If you do – then there’s nothing between you and your common adventure!

We’re making sure your looking for someone to travel with is as safe as possible

Not only can you meet an international travel companion at this site, we’re also glad to help connect visitors with local people from the area. Nothing like a native to show you around, introduce you to some cool places most tourists miss out on, share some tips and tricks to help you navigate the area and local customs!

No two ways about it – seeking for a travel partner is always tough, however easier it is in today’s internet age. There are also many pitfalls to finding travel companions online, but we always do our best to mitigate them. Most of the adventurers visiting and advertising on our site are genuine people who make excellent and reliable travel friends, but, as with everything, the possibility of running into a cheat can never go away completely.

Should you run into a fake profile, or someone who tries to lure money or shady favours from you – please, don’t hesitate to report them. We regularly delete cheats, frauds, spammers and those who engage in harassing behaviour. We pride ourselves of being a trustworthy, honest platform – trust and honesty are perhaps the most important qualities a traveller should have and look for in others. Here, we strive to uphold them!

Did you find a holiday or vacation buddy already?

If you did – congratulations! Now you should clarify your expectations from the trip and harmonise them together. Ideally, a trip should be a common project where every travel companion has a say, not a military expedition where one leads and everyone else follows. Sometimes a little concession from everyone is needed. Make sure you settle everything in advance so that you don’t have to unnecessarily argue during the trip. Get to know each other better – though a prior personal meeting isn’t always possible, at least acquaint yourselves via online communication, Skype, or whatever suits you. Half the battle is won by setting things straight right away!

If you didn’t find who you’re looking for – don’t despair and keep looking! We’re sure you’ll find one eventually. Or more. There are thousands to choose from.
