Not sure if I am quite ready for that yet, although a friend of mine did a wonderful kayaking trip with them. The group I ran into once were quite elderly. Heck, you never know. I will check them out.

There's a dating website called miss travel, don't know what the "expectations" are if you travel with someone, but if you are looking to meet someone for more than just travel

Finding a Reliable Travel Partner Online

As we grow older, the allure of solo travel can sometimes wear thin, and the prospect of having a companion to share the journey becomes increasingly appealing. At 68, with experience in hostels and a working knowledge of Spanish, you find yourself seeking a male travel partner for both companionship and added safety.

The good news is that the internet has made it easier than ever to connect with like-minded individuals and potential travel companions. Here are a few reliable websites worth exploring:

1. Couchsurfing

While primarily known for its free accommodation offerings, Couchsurfing also has a robust community of travelers who often organize group trips and meetups. You can browse the events section or join local groups to connect with fellow adventurers in your area or at your intended destination.

2. Meetup

Meetup is a platform that facilitates in-person gatherings based on shared interests, including travel. Search for travel-related groups in your city or target destination, attend events, and get to know potential travel partners with similar goals and backgrounds.

3. TravBuddy

TravBuddy is a dedicated travel companion website that allows you to create a profile, specify your travel preferences, and connect with others seeking travel partners. The site has safety measures in place, such as user verification and review systems, to help you find trustworthy companions.

4. Reddit

Reddit has a thriving community of travelers, including subreddits like /r/travelpartners and /r/solotravel. Post your travel plans and preferences, and you may find like-minded individuals interested in joining you on your adventures.

Regardless of the platform you choose, it's crucial to exercise caution and common sense when meeting new people online. Verify identities, share personal details cautiously, and consider meeting potential travel partners in a public place before committing to any travel plans.

With a bit of patience and diligence, you're likely to find a reliable and compatible travel partner who shares your sense of adventure and can add an extra layer of safety and companionship to your future journeys.
