Going to Cuba over the holidays

Hi! I'm a 35 year old female from New York City and will be traveling in Cuba from 12/23 to 1/2. I will be starting off in Havana for 4 days or so and then am open to exploring the countryside, beaches, etc. Zero interest in Varadero and any all-inclusive resorts.

I'm not necessarily looking to meet up with someone to travel with (not totally opposed either) but drinks/dinner and trading travel info/stories could be fun.

I'm an easy-going, experienced traveler, speak Spanish and enjoy meeting people from any and everywhere and see how the daily life is. I can't wait to get to Cuba!

Drop me a line if you'll be around - thanks!

Christmas in Goa

Hi,

I am planning a trip to Goa starting 25th Dec and am looking for a travel partner to share the costs with since this is the most expensive time of the year.
I am a non-smoker, drinker and not the party type (but as long as you are not an addict I am good) though I love sipping the Chai a lot. I am looking for a travel partner to share the hotel costs, bike etc. I intend to hire a Bike and just do trips most of the day exploring and taking pictures and in the evenings maybe play some pool or meet some friends (I am not sure of their plans though). Please let me know if interested at vickyzmail2005@yahoo.co.in. I intend to spend my time at the not too touristy beaches (I know it will be hard to find but I will try).

Take care (I go on facebook by vicki India) more »

India November 09 - April 2010..Anyone?

Hi!

I have arrived into India 2 weeks ago with not much of a plan. I will be travelling around for 6 months and have started from the South and making my way North(my flights leave from Kolkata). I am currently in the state of Tamil Nadu and am volunteering at an orphanage near Didingul.

I am planning my itinearry at the moment and if anyone is intrested to meet up or are on the same path, let me know. I will be in the orphanage for another 2 weeks. I am keen to get to the Andaman Islands after that..possibly by ferry....it will take 2 and a half days to get there so would be nice to have some company. It will be around the 24th of November...waiting to hear back on ferry departure times. I am hoping to be there for 2 weeks or so.

After the Andaman islands, I will make my way to Kerala and I have allowed 2 weeks for this. My plan is to arrive into Goa in time for New Years. ... more »

Can anyone recommend an apt swap site I can trust?

Hi,

I'm looking to swap my 1BR Manhattan apt for another similar apt anywhere in the world. There are so many sites but many of them are for larger homes which doesn't apply to me. In addition, most charge a $50 or $75 fee which is not a big deal but I don't want to join one only to find out it's useless.

Have any of you had success w/ any of these sites?

Thanks so much,

Seth

Travelling Solo Thailand Dec 28 - Jan 17th

Hey Guys and Girls,

So i decided to book this trip to Thailand because i here its amazing, but one problem..... all my friends are broke or going to Mexico as its a Canadian hot spot during our winter ..... that leaves me on my own.
I'm really looking forward to meeting up with some people along my way and being able to explore this foreign place with. I'm sure it would be amazing to see on my own, but lets face it its always more fun when your with others, especially when you put back a few.

My plans so far;
Arrive BBK Dec 28th, 11:45am. Tour around till the 31st, catch a plane to Ko Samui....... take a boat to Ko Phangan for the new years bash, then back to ko Samui.....

Places i would like to go;
Phuket, Chaing mai, Laos, Krabi (rock climbing), Similan Islands (Scuba Diving)...... and a whole heck of ... more »

Nagaland - group needed for Nagaland permit.

Heya,

Im a female, 21 year old, solo traveller currently in kolkata staying with some Indian friends from uni in Australia and I was hoping to go to Nagaland for the Hornbill festival on the 1st to the 6th or 7th of december. I want to travel there with an Indian friend from Nagaland and stay with his family whilst there but Ive only just found out that you need a pass to go to nagaland at all.
You need a group of at least 4 people to be able to apply for a permit so I am looking for people that are interested in forming a group OR a group of 3,4 or more people that wouldn't mind me applying for a permit with them. I would be very very thankful for help as without more people i will be unable to go at all.
Please if anyone is interested or knows anyone that I may be able to get in contact with please reply to this thread or email me on: jelly_belly_billy@hotmail.com.

Thanks h... more »
