Calling all gap-year girls!

There are many reasons people take a gap year:

See the world Learn about other cultures Practise foreign languages Volunteer on third world or environmental projects Have fun and make new friends, both from home and abroad.

You probably know that there are a gazillion websites out there aimed at telling you which are the best places, offering you short-term accommodation and employment so you can job your way around the world, giving you tips to keep yourself safe and healthy everywhere from Outer Mongolia to Timbuktu, and so on.

But what if none of your best mates is up for going travelling when and where you want to? What if your folks refuse to let you strike out on your own, despite your promises of finding a way to contact them every other day?

This is where Buddies4Travel can help, as we know that there are lots of other young females out there in the same boat. Let us put you in touch with other girls who share your enthusiasm to see the world before life takes over.

50+ ladies: thinking of going travelling?

Travelling to see the world is no longer the prerogative of gap-year students. Since Buddies4Travel was set up, a relatively new phenomenon has been featured in the national press: that of the mature traveller. More and more people in their fifties and above are travelling more than they did before.

Male executives on sabbatical usually value having time to themselves and are happy to go solo. Not so for many women: you may have reached a stage in your life when you now have the opportunity as well as the inclination to travel more, but the thought of going alone is holding you back. Well, guess what? Youre not the only one: in fact, most other women prefer travelling with someone else. Whether you have been widowed or find yourself alone through relationship breakdown or the children leaving home, Buddies4Travel can help you find like-minded female travel companions to share your holiday experience and make it all the more enjoyable.

Register today, meet new people and start planning!
