How can I find companions to travel abroad with?

So I want to travel from the US to pretty much anywhere abroad in the next few months. The only problem is I can’t find anyone among my friends at home who will commit to going with me. They either can’t find the time or don’t have the money to go. Is there a way to find other people out there in the same situation who have the time and money to go abroad but can’t find travelling companions? Are there any travel forums or message boards on the internet I can look at? I’m 27 years old, so I’m too old to go with a high school tour group and too young to join a seniors tour! :) Are there any tour groups out there for people my age? Any helpful suggestions will be most appreciated!

That’s odd. I was looking for a broad to be a companion with!

Call your travel agent, and ask if they have any singles trips planned. They do this often, where they encourage singles to go on certain trips, and they you are with a bunch of single people, and you can make friends. They have a lot of resorts like this, but they also go to Europe and everywhere else.

CHECK OUT THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES BULLETIN BOARDS AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL…SOMETIME GRADUATE CLASSES ALSO …IVE SEEN POSTINGS ON THE BOARDS AT THE ENTRY OF UNIVESITY LABBYS….BETTER CLASS OF TRAVELING COMPANION THERE I WOULD THINK.

You could always post your interests in a forum like craigslist.com. Maybe try to put in an ad in the paper too? People who are looking for the same things as you will look in similar places! Also, there are some great sites online that offer student tours and even though you might be a -few- years older than a college student, I bet they could push you in the right direction. Happy travels!

Maybe flossing or a hiding a mint leaf in your cheek will do the trick. Bueno Suerte (I speak Spanish) !
