You are not typical mam. Most people can't routinely drop 3k for ten days for a lil fun.

I am not looking for advice. I was wondering if it's hard for some of you to meet people as you get older?
It will get much easier in your 40's and 50's. It seems that many online profiles of women in that age bracket can afford to travel, love to do so, and their children - if any - are grown.

In my area, most of the women 40+ whose children are grown are on the verge (if not already) of becoming grandmothers. I mean this in a maximally polite and generous way. Such women have had difficult lives as single-moms, and are in no position to afford extravagant leisure.

For the OP, perhaps there is a travel-oriented meetup.com group? One hopes that some people in that group would be single and female.

Is OP looking for a woman who will pay his way? I suggest he start looking in the 60 year old age group and learn ballroom dancing.

No sane woman is going to take off on a vacation with a man she just meet and doesn't know well.

If OP just wants to travel with both parties paying their own way, I suggest that he start signing up for some nice cruises and do his hunting there. Everybody on the boat travels and can afford to travel, and there are classes and activities that give a good legitimate excuse for striking up a conversation

Well, there are adventure tourism groups. Like GAP adventures. They typically have more women than men. I have a guy friend and that's where he usually picks up new girlfriends. Going with a tour group to South America or Asia. Not a cheap way to pick up girls but guaranteed way to spend some time around them.

I'll go with ya hun. JK, you're too young.

But here is some advice. If you don't mind traveling by yourself at first, just go, book a trip by yourself and have fun. You'll probably meet someone nice on the road. Another thing you can do is to sign onto a forum that is all about the kind of travel you like to do. I was on bootsnall.com for awhile and it seems there are nice people on there who are crazy about travel and will also be looking for travel partners. CD is great but a little general for what you're trying to do.

It doesn't have to be 3K. There are many ways to travel. Get a discount airfare, and stay in hostels for a few dollars/night. Buy groceries for your meals. Travel can be affordable. I don't know who would agree to travel with a complete stranger, though.

That's all my sperm donor and stepmom do is travel. They got married in their 40's and decided not to have kids. He's an engineer and she's an attorney, so they have the means.
