Advice?

My advice is of the general nature .........

Which is mature sound advice.........

Not advisable to go galavanting around world being totally dependent upon a stranger !!

Not a good idea EVER !!

Has nothing really with Laz 1

I doubt many women would disagree!

Then again he may find his Attractive Female with this post..........stranger things have happened !

I would bet a dollar to a donut he gets zero responses, other than replys like all above.......

O.K. I am off my soapbox and there is no need to waist any more time on this

Good luck Laz1

"Fortune favors the brave ."

Any Woman who seriously responds to my add will by definition be self confident, adventurous, brave, aka probably an"ALPHA FEMALE.

Which is why I am posting here on H/U, where women such as this are perhaps more common than the usual "dating"sites.

Such a woman might enjoy travelling around in a modern "Gypsy Caravan", with a ramblin' man...
For a Winter,
and maybe even for a lifetime.

And such a Woman would not be afraid or intimidated.

You guys who are criticising my choice in Woman and my choice to post here, which is after all titled "travellers seek travel partners", need to broaden your definition of PARTNERS.

Wishing the op all the best in his quest to find a travel partner. If he's also looking for a life partner then terms like alpha bitch might be best left out of future posts on other websites.

Speaking of other sites: there must be plenty of traveller/snowbird sites where you're likely to have a greater chance of success than here, a site populated predominantly by grumpy old men.

Dating sites are also likely to produce a much higher success rate for finding a life partner. That's what they're there for, aren't they?

Please also consider posting on German language travel sites like http://www.wuestenschiff.de Educated and discerning Europeans can understand English.

Good luck!

Wow, I can't believe there's been so much criticism towards someone simply seeking a female companion. Good luck Laz 1, I hope you find what you're looking for. I can't believe some of you think a general dating site would be better than posting on a forum where you'll immediately share similar interests. Seems mad to me. I'd like to think this is a good place to meet fellow travelers, good friends and possibly more.

Smile Good luck Laz1

Hi Laz,

I think this is brilliant. Best of luck with finding your travelling friend - I am huge believer in if you don't ask, then you won't receive!

To the nay-sayers, as a travelling woman this is definitely the sort of Ad I would respond to and yes I would just get up & go with a stranger (after an initial meeting and a chat over coffee re. expectations etc..). What it sounds like is Laz is looking for a woman who is wise enough & strong enough to stand her ground and take care of her own.

Laz, what an exciting adventure you have planned!!! If I wasn't already settled into my own wintery escapade I would have been keen to hear more.

All the best,

TM

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
