Travel companion wanted

Diane from Mount Maunganui

I used to backpack in Asia about 25 yrs ago (I'm mid 50's) before having the 2 boys, now aged 20 and 14. Both they and my husband are not interested in travelling. I have done tours to China (X2) and Vietnam over the past 5 years but don't like tours. Unfortunately I have lost my confidence to do independent travel as it's been so long since I have done so and am looking for a travel companion for at least my first trip to Asia independently again. I like travelling during cooler months so am looking at the first trip around Oct next year with a max of 3 weeks travelling each year. I am particularly interested in visiting Sth Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos over the next few years. Is there anyone who is interested in joining me?
