How do I find a travel companion?
Leaving aside the whole “I might want to get laid, but I don’t want have to come right out and say so” vibe for the minute: traveling with someone you’ve just met — heck, traveling with someone you already know well, romantic or not! — can be challenging. Different people have different styles/expectations — some want everything planned out down to the very last detail ahead of time; others want to play it all (including lodging) by ear. Some want to pack in as many activities as possible; some want to sit on a beach and chill for a week. Of course it can always work out — I’ve had some wonderful traveling companions (platonic and romantic; male and female) over the years, but I’ve also had my share of disasters (a now-ex-friend and I, who were thick as thieves for years, took a weekend trip together; our friendship, frankly, was never the same again). So food for thought. As for the “hey, it would be nice if we could hook up” vibe that’s going on here: I think you’d get a lot more
