olbaid, this is the chance you've been waiting for. Good luck!

Too late for travelling in Aussie these days its like Pitt Street out there thank God I saw it when it was pristine -- as the last couple of times it has been downright shoulder to shoulder -- and so much has been ruined and nothing like it should be any more

Sounds good Zicky I did India March/April this year  love it and next trip South Africa  booked May next year I love travelling always got something on the drawing board,  that sometimes is the trouble when you want to share people have already been to the places you want to go but best of luck

I went to Cuba two years ago and absolutely loved it. I was there when Castro died -a momentous point in Cuba's history. Go soon Zicky.

Hi Zicky, 
I've been looking for a travel companion for a while now.  I'm female and roughly in the same age group as you.
Fit and healthy, but not into mountaineering!
I was disappointed recently when I tried to book a trip (organised tour) to China.  The fine print said that as a single person I must buy TWO TICKETS.  There's always a surcharge, but double was a bit much from my point of view!
International travel for me is only once a year, but within Australia could be more. 
I live in Victoria, but have also lived in Queensland. Have not seen the West yet. Otherwise have visited all states. Enjoyed each one! The family has grown and I'd like a companion with no strings attached. 
Please feel free to reply and I'll have a look at this site from time to time.   
Cheers for now.  Potential Travel Companion.

(Haven't written on this page before.  I think 'my name' is either Sal or Marika on here.  Neither is accurate  lol. 
I'll give you my name in time, depending on your reply).

Hiya Zicky, am in the same boat and would love a like minded companion for travel single supplements are the worst, am off to India this month with my daughter but she will be unable to travel with me in the future. How do we make contact ?

Yes, I understand you....sounds as if you’d only do most things solo.

On the one hand, I like the way you are being proactive Zicky, when it comes to finding companions to travel with without strings attached. On the other hand, olbaid has a point....one cannot be too careful! I hope the women who have professed interest will check you out well before committing.

Calm down everyone.  I've already requested the AFP and even the FBI to look into the background of a man called Zicky who apparently barracks for the Tigers.   I'll let you know the outcome!   Cheers, Sal.

Good luck Sal but I don’t think Zicky is his real name :)

Make sure he’s not a Nigerian scam artist - that would be an even crappier outcome than getting stuck with an Aussie sleaseball.

Come on Sal....you could at least go to more exotic agencies such as Interpol, MI6 or Mossad but you may have to explain those to Mrs and Mr Troll. Enjoying the banter. Thanks.

“Attack dogs” Ray? Mr and Mrs Troll ? About as fearsome as Peppa Pig dolls, that pair, but thank you very much. 

Wow Zicky I cant believe the trolls who are targeting you.  I travel solo mainly because of some bad experiences sharing with a woman I met a few years ago on a trip - we had some good holidays together until we went overseas and then it all blew up into a massive meltdown.  So now I pay the single supplement and have peace of mind.  But I do agree it becomes very expensive when its an overseas trip.  Just doesnt seem fair to have to pay almost double the price.  Good luck - I hope you find someone you can share travel expenses with.

It must be ten years since I visited India Zicky..if it is your first time you will be enchanted. I don't know which part of the country you will be touring..but..may I suggest Rajasthan and Kerala as part of your itinerary...both spectacular!

Good to see you are not fazed by the two miserable so and sos..and hope you find a nice travel companion :)
