Japan-Mt. Fuji and Daisetsu-zan NP backpack-July 3-14

Japan-Mt. Fuji and Daisetsu-zan NP backpack

Looking for backpacker/hikers for July 3-14. I lived in Japan (long time ago) and 2 adventures I missed:

Pilgrims route up Mt. Fuji, starting at Fuji-Yoshida. (2/3 days)
Backpacking in Daisetsuzan National Park (5/6 days)

I am planning on flying to Hokkaido backpacking (July 4-10). I’ve scheduled a few extra days for weather, relaxing, sushi binges, seeing other things. Then, returning to Tokyo for Fuji-san ascent (July 12-13).
I’m from Colorado, USA (also posted for Tibet partners earlier), used to speak Nihongo and travel independently, but no longer possess language skills-darn. Japan has many wondrous places.
Please contact me if interested.
Thanks, Sam

from Greece- to India by ROAD (turkey-kazakhstan-Nepal-India-Africa

Hi,
I really travel on a fixed income and explore India and Africa. - (the airplane tickets are what kills me.. otherwise it'd be easy there.. So! Find someone who wants to drive.. ;z) (I can't-due to vision problems)
Currently I'm living in Athens Greece. I just came back from 6 months solo in China ~ 29/m/Californian
I've traveled over half my life.. C. & N America, Europe- all. and around.. but India and Africa not yet. (Tunisia I don't count as Africa)

I tend to sit in open squares and play guitar and sing.. Dance at every party.. and look for live music jams..
I have been a life long vegetarian and I'm a good cook / baker.

I could leave anytime, but of course the older this post goes the more likely i'll be doing something else. ;z)

reply here, or look for Fez Miester on various sites..
Regards,
Fez more »

San Diego - 25-27 May and 1 June

Hello fellow travelers!

I will be in SD for business and plan to stay the weekend before and after to see the sights.
My sightseeing dates are 25, 26, 27 May and 1 Jun

I plan to spend some time doing the standards - Zoo/Aquarium, tidepools, Botanical Garden, paragliding, sea lions, etc...

I am also looking to do some things outside the city, such as interesting hikes (not hard core, but not an easy walk either) or waterfalls or whatever. I will have a car and could even sleep outside SD if the drive is far and someone has a good recommendation.

Looking to see if anybody of similar age (+/10 years to my age) / fitness level / interests will be in the area and would want to participate in any of these activities. I'm 43, professional, female, decent fitness level and health conscious, prefer quieter evenings such as movies or restaurants (ethnic being my favorite), local ... more »

TIBET FROM MID JUNE TO SEPT

HI GUYS,

I'm thinking of going to Tibet this summer, with a stop at chengdu and maybe going to yunnan before or after Tibet this summer. I don't want to go with a tour group and since I am going to be in China all summer I thought it would be a good idea for me to explore with a few travel buddies. I am Chinese (but grew up in Canada), so I hope that would help with any of you with language barriers and I'm really not too picky about the time but I would like to visit all three places listed if possible. Chengdu is pretty much a must since it's so close to Tibet and the food there is amazing.

Please let me know if you are interested! you can email me at ariajw@hotmail.com!

thanks,
Aria

Ride offer: Los Angeles to South Carolina

I am moving back to the East Coast from Los Angeles, loading up my car and heading out on June 2. Would anyone else like to come along? I'm taking I-40, which goes through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Let's split gas!

I did a similar trip from East Coast to West Coast with someone else a couple years ago and it was amazing! We couchsurfed across the U.S. - so affordable and such a neat way to meet so many different people in so many states!

I'm thinking the trip'll be about six days or so. Please let me know if you're interested - stephanie dot strauss at gmail.com

Kilimanjaro week of June 3!

Hi all,

I am looking to do a Mt Kilimanjaro hike departing June 4-5. I'm interested in a six-day Machame Route hike, but am open to other suggestions. Looking for others to join on a group. I've got a guide who comes highly recommended from three separate groups of friends and who is also local. Alternatively, if you're looking for an additional person to join your group around these dates, let me know! Contact me if interested in either/or.
