Young Aussie woman to travel solo in Australia, Asia and beyond

by Chloe
(Australia )

Hi, I'm 22 and would love to go and travel around my home country Australia and Asia then work in Europe or the UK, and South America - just go wherever I want to. This will all be on my own which excites me to a certain point, but how do I find someone to travel some of the way who is not from a dating site? Also I need to work - I will have a certificate in tourism and business.

Answer:

Since this isn't a job site I can't help you with finding work but I can point you towards my Female Travel Companions and its resources on finding women with whom to travel.

If you're looking for men as well, your best bet would be one of the larger travel forums. Try posting a request at the Thorn Tree or BootsnAll.

A word of advice: if you're serious about finding travel partners, narrow down your search by giving people approximate dates and places and make your request a little less general and more specific. Happy travels!
