Hello there,
I'm a sound female traveller leaving UK to Trivandrum on the 18th Dec and looking for other travellers who are going to be in the area around this time. I will leaving India in early Jan from Mumbai.

I'm very interested in chilling, taking the scenery and pottering about. Taking Ayurvedic treatments, yoga and meditating. Then slowly wending my way up to Goa for Xmas.
Also I know the back water house baot trips are much better value between min 2 poeple.

I'm pretty flexible and cool person.
Please drop me a line if this coincides.
Thanks,

London to Cape Town Overland 2010 - Anyone Interested?

Hi all

I am at the very early stages of planning an overland trip from London to Cape Town - I mean very early (getting the atlas out and deciding where I want to go, which seems to be everywhere at the moment!).

The aim is to buy a 4x4 here in the UK and drive all the way to South Africa while seeing as much as possible in-between. I hoping there are other people out there interested in the same kind of trip who would be up for planning it from scratch - there's heaps of information out there. It would mean splitting costs, planning and driving. I've travelled quite extensively on my own, but for this trip I love to travel with like minded people. Ideally I would like to leave the UK towards the end of 2010, but again, nothing is fixed.

If you are interested in joining for what will surely be the trip of a lifetime, or perhaps are planning a similar trip I'd love to ... more »

Bhutan from Kathmandu..

Hi All.....
Are there any crazy people out there with a bit of cash to burn that feel like visiting the delightful Kingdom of Bhutan imminently?? I am in Kathmandu and it's too cost prohibitive to go with less than three people. As it is it's $236 a day inclusive!!
Anyway, worth a try...Private message me if your interested please...
All the best, Melanie.
