Many people who love to travel have to set their travel dreams aside because they don't want to hit the road on their own. Single people, widows and widowers, and people in long-term relationships with partners who don't enjoy traveling are often the ones who sit at home and daydream about that Caribbean cruises or flight across the sea to Paris city. But the people who love traveling are the people who should be traveling, so there's now a terrific service that will get them out of their recliners and on board for a memorable vacation with a perfect companion.
TravelChums is an online "companion matching" website for travelers who enjoy getting out and meeting people, exploring new locations, and making new friends. Joining the site is free, and members can post their own travel profiles and photos, send and receive private messages from other TravelChums members, share tips and experiences, and have messages and match notifications sent to private e-mail addresses.
When you join TravelChums you will be able to fill out a personal profile by answering specific questions about your personality, interests, and desired destinations. TravelChums will take your information and match it to other members who share your likes and dislikes, and you will receive notifications about those matches, so you can act on them if you want to. The benefits of the TravelChums service are obvious - no need to pay "single supplement" fees for group tours and hotel rooms just because you're traveling alone; having another person to share rooms, taxis, car rentals and other expenses will keep your budget in line; and you can be matched with someone living in your destination city, so you have a local point of view while touring.
If you already have a specific destination in mind, and you've already set aside dates for your trip, TravelChums will help you locate a like-minded person with the same plans for travel. If you have a special interest you want to enjoy on your next vacation, such as painting, paragliding, bird watching, or golf, TravelChums will help match you up with a buddy who can share your enthusiasm for those activities you enjoy.
There are already more than 48,000 TravelChums members, 75% of whom are located in the United States. Canada, Australia, and England make up about 13% of the total members, and the remaining members are scattered throughout 91 other countries. More than half of the members are looking for either a friendship or a romantic relationship, and they are pretty evenly split between females and males. Most are between 26 and 55 years old, and most are single or divorced.
So if you love to travel but hate traveling alone, you no longer have a reason to complain about not being able to get out and see the world on your own terms...take the trip of a lifetime with a companion perfectly matched for you!
