Hi! So, I want to travel to all european countries. My next trips will probably be to any of the following: Baltic countries + Finland Iceland Malta Slovenia On my last trip (to the Balkans) we had a nice group, but I was by far the youngest. So I am looking for someone 20-40 to travel with. I can promise you someone who talks a lot, usually smiles and can tell you a lot about Norway (I usually vibe best with people of the female gender). So if you plan to go to any of these places (Or to Egypt, Philipines or Kenya which are on my bucket list) feel free to reply. ---

This is so cool! I often travel alone and the past two times I chose to join a group tour to share the experience with likeminded people. I hear when you said you were the youngest in the group, which operator did you travel with? I always make sure to choose youth operators for my travels as I prefer the group dynamics as well! ---

It was Penguin travels (Balkan kaleidoscope) I chose the tour for the amount of new countries (8 in 14 days) since I try to visit all european countries. We were 19 people. The others were from 49 years (including the tour leader) to 78 years old. ---

Wow, 8 countries in 14 days! Very cool you are travelling to all European countries @Plasticbrain, how many have you been to so far? As @micatravels says, youth operators could be a good choice. But there are also operators that generally attract a younger crowd (or young at heart) like Intredpid or G Adventures, because of how they tend to travel (usually recommend backpacks for example and sometimes use public trabsport), and have more local accomodation. I hope you find someone travelling to those countires on your list though to buddy up with!! ---

I have visited 30/46 countries so far, tried to uplist my scratchmap/checklist (from SAS airlines app) but it would not upload.. I have actually considered doing a Baltic tour with Kilroy, but the price is like 3x of the ones on tourradar, so for that price I will gladly survive if I am the youngest 😅 ---

Wow, 30 countries 😍 you are well on your way @Plasticbrain! Yes definitely not worth 3 x the price 😅. Often it really just depends on who else booked your dates anyway which could chanhe from one date to the next. At the end of the day you all chose to take the same tour at the same time so already have so much in common despite your age! ---

Traveling with someone close in age def helps, but I’ve found vibe matters more - maybe try a short trip first before committing to a big one like Iceland. ---
