Film project with hitch-hiking trip to Rome 28 Dec to 8 Jan

Hey

My name is Nick and I am a masters student in Edinburgh University. I am planning to do research for a film project which I am starting the end of next year, the plot surrounds a university student doing a 'Jailbreak' (get as far away from a city as possible in 36 hours with no money at all), and in order to do that I am hoping to do the same to Rome between 28th December to 8th January. I am looking for ridiculously enthusatic young people who want to join me. Hoping to use couchsurfing as much as possible and make the experience as close to the proposed film plot.

Going to be filming the trip, and along with other trips during the year (planning a cycle trip to Istanbul), make a script up.

Drop me a msg if your interested!!

South and/or Central America

Hi there,

I am a 23 year old female taking some time off before grad school and am hoping to find a travel companion who wants to go to South and/or Central America. I would like to go sometime around Jan-March. I am totally open about travel plans so if you have an itinerary you want to follow I don't mind adopting yours. I'm laid-back, but adventurous and am looking for someone similar.

Let me know if you are interested or have any ideas/suggestions

Thanks!

Ciao!

Travel Companion NETHERLANDS late Dec 2009 - Jan 2010

This is a long shot but i'll try it.

Last week, my boyfriend who works and lives in the Netherlands just informed me that he would not be able to see me for Xmas or New Years and I'm not even allowed to stay with him.

This means that I'm now left to find my own housing / hostel and alone for the holidays.
I've had some good recommendations on things to do but if I could meet anyone in a similar solo situation, that would be nice as we could go on some day trips together.

I like live music, hiking, a good beer, art and I'm pretty easy going.
Im 30 so not that young and certainly not a spring chicken at travelling.
Anyone in a similar situation?

Trekking partners for Nepal's Langtang trek from December 23

Starting on the 23rd or 24th, I would like to do the Langtang trek. Nothing fancy that takes a guide and porters along and heads off into the wilderness, but a simple independent circuit along the teahouse route as described in the Lonely Planet Nepal. I am traveling solo through the Indian subcontinent, but of course trekking solo would be foolish, so I hope to find some company. Please send me a PM through the Thorn Tree or an e-mail to crculver@christopherculver.com.

Heelllloooo everybody, I'm new too the whole travel scene & have been thinking undecisevly about traveling by myself or with someone,,, kind of thinking it might be a little better with someone but would rather not go with someone I know oddly enough. I've been working on setting this up for a little while & will continue to do so through this school semester until I am satisified with my generate plan(s). If anyone is interested lmk we could work out details/ plans together over the next couple o' months and further get into it, alls I know right now is I either want to do like a europe thing or thailand malaysia extravaganza. Oh yeah, I'm male, 24, & live in NY, don't really mind if your male / female / other, it's cool, if you're around the same age maybe like 20 - 30 or around there even better.... so if any interest at all lmk!!!! enjoy the holidays!!!!!!!
