Journey to the Land of Dreams

Anneke jassen, 18 (Female) seeking Travel companion

Hello and a warm welcome to my profile! My name is Anneke Jassen, I am 34 years old. I am French and currently live in Belgium. I have always had a great passion for traveling and discovering new places. For me, traveling means much more than just visiting a new country – it's the opportunity to learn about other cultures, meet new people, enjoy local cuisine, and create unforgettable memories. I travel in different ways and enjoy every kind of adventure. I particularly love cruises because they offer the chance to discover multiple destinations while enjoying the peace and beauty of the sea. I am also enthusiastic about hiking in the mountains, where I can experience the fresh air, impressive landscapes, and nature in all its glory. Long walks, whether through forests, along the coast, or through picturesque towns, are also among my favorite activities. The sea holds a special place in my heart. I love listening to the waves, watching the sunset on the beach, swimming, or simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. I am an open, honest, friendly, and cheerful person. I value good conversations, mutual respect, and authentic encounters. I believe that the most beautiful journeys are those shared with positive people who have the same enthusiasm for life and for discovering the world. I am also interested in the culture and traditions of the countries I visit. I enjoy strolling through local markets, trying regional specialties, visiting historical sites, and capturing special moments with my camera. Every trip is a new opportunity for me to broaden my horizons and create beautiful memories. If you also love to travel, discover new places, and share wonderful moments with nice people, I would be very happy to get to know you. Perhaps our shared passion will lead us on the same journey one day – whether to the sea, the mountains, or on a wonderful cruise. I look forward to interesting conversations and new acquaintances! ️️

Looking for a nice travel companion

Gloria, 70 (Female) seeking female travel partner

Nice woman, 70/R, seeking an equally nice female travel companion, primarily for cruises (AIDA/balcony), but also hotel stays in southern countries (Canaries/Greece/Turkey) would be nice. However, I’m not set on anything, and would like to discuss and decide this together. Since I'm no longer working, I can travel more or less anytime. Separate finances, also happy with separate cabins/rooms if the chemistry is right, but just as happy together. Since I have pets (dog and cats), I can unfortunately only travel for 1 week at a time, but 3-4 times a year. It would be great if we could get to know each other beforehand. Preferably from the Gütersloh/Bielefeld area. I would be delighted if nice acquaintances, or even friendships, could develop!!

I am looking forward to meeting a wonderful person.

Caroline, 44 (Female) seeking Travel partner

Hi, my name is Caroline, I'm Mexican and 44 years old. I am passionate about traveling and discovering new cultures. I love exploring the world and gaining enriching experiences in different countries and with different traditions. I am an open-minded, curious person and I pay great attention to the cultural richness that each destination can offer. For me, traveling is a real source of inspiration and personal development. My last trip to Italy, to Tuscany, was a particularly impressive experience. I was thrilled by the beauty of the landscapes, the gastronomy, and the authenticity of Italian culture. I am also the mother of a 9-year-old boy who is passionate about football and is currently playing in Europe, in Spain. Sport therefore plays an important role in our lives, especially football, which is a real passion and daily motivation for him. With this introduction, I simply want to share my world of travel, cultural encounters, and sports passion. But honestly: traveling as a couple is an experience I would like to have again, and being alone all the time is no longer really interesting. Therefore, I could well imagine getting to know a man who has similar interests and ideas.

In the Land of Beautiful Encounters

Birgit, 47 (Female) seeking Travel partner

Hello, my name is Birgit. I am still new to Europe and am discovering this wonderful continent step by step. Even though I originally came to France for personal reasons and therefore left my home country, I have increasingly felt the desire to build a new life here and enjoy Europe to the fullest for some time now. I am a simple, sincere, and open woman. Divorced for many years and the mother of a grown and independent daughter. I love traveling and new discoveries. Cruises, mountains, the sea, city trips, nature, and beautiful landscapes are among my greatest passions. I enjoy simple moments as well as spontaneous adventures, I like getting to know new cultures, I laugh a lot, and I like to share beautiful experiences with positive people. Today, I wish to meet a likeable and serious man – someone who is free in heart and life, and with whom I can share beautiful experiences, create new memories, and perhaps start a new chapter in Europe together. Please excuse me if my ad is not perfect – I'm not very experienced with dating sites yet. Thanks for reading and maybe see you soon. Birgit

Travel companion wanted – for the world and for life.

Jean-Claude, 51 (Male) seeking female travel companion

My name is Jean-Claude Garcia, I am 51 years old and have French and Spanish roots. Both cultures have shaped me and taught me values such as respect, honesty, togetherness and joy of life. I am a tall man with an athletic build. I take care of myself and my health because I enjoy being active and want to enjoy life to the fullest. I am calm, reliable, honest and loyal. I value open conversations and believe that trust is the foundation of any happy relationship. I have been divorced for over ten years. This time has helped me to get to know myself better and understand what is really important in life. I have a son whom I am very proud of. Today, I wish to experience a beautiful love story once more with a loving and sincere woman. I have been living in France for several years, where I moved for family reasons. I have learned that home is not just a place, but above all the people with whom you share your life. Traveling is one of my greatest passions. For me, traveling means not only discovering new countries, but also getting to know other cultures, experiencing special moments and collecting memories that last a lifetime. Cruises are a particular passion of mine. I love the feeling of freedom on the sea, the sunrise over the water, the starry sky on deck, and the opportunity to discover many fascinating places on a single trip. Every cruise is a small adventure full of relaxation, romance, and new impressions for me. I also love the mountains. Long hikes through beautiful landscapes, clear mountain air, calm lakes, and impressive panoramic views give me new energy. I enjoy nature and appreciate the simple things in life – a walk hand in hand, a picnic with a beautiful view, or a cozy evening after a hike. I also enjoy spending time by the sea, going to good restaurants, exploring charming towns, enjoying sunsets, listening to music, watching movies, and looking forward to spontaneous weekend trips. I am curious about life and open to new experiences. I am not looking for a perfect woman, because perfection does not exist. I wish for a woman with heart, honesty, humor, and the desire to build something real together. For me, mutual respect, trust, loyalty, communication, and the willingness to overcome both good and difficult times together are important. I firmly believe that the most beautiful journeys are not necessarily the longest ones, but those experienced with the right person. Laughing together, dreaming, discovering the world, and creating memories – that is true happiness for me. If you also dream of discovering new countries together, going on romantic cruises, hiking in the mountains, and building a serious, loving relationship, then I look forward to getting to know you. Perhaps our most beautiful journey begins right here – with a simple message.

Cruise Spontaneous Wörthersee Trip in September – Seeking Travel Companion for Austria, Beach Holiday – Austria (Frankfurt am Main)
3 days ago

I am 61 years old and would like to spend a few relaxing days at Lake Wörthersee soon. Traveling alone is fun, but the best memories are often made together. That's why I'm looking for a pleasant travel companion who also fancies a relaxed short break. I imagine a holiday without stress or obligations: relaxing by the lake, swimming, enjoying nature, strolling through the towns, ending the evening in a café or restaurant, or simply deciding spontaneously what we feel like doing. Perhaps a boat trip, a short hike, or an excursion to the surrounding area – everything is possible, nothing is a must. About me: I am honest, reliable, humorous, and easy-going. I enjoy good conversations as much as laughter and appreciate the little things in life. A respectful and relaxed atmosphere is important to me. If you are between 50 and 65 years old, come from Germany or Austria, and can imagine exploring Lake Wörthersee together, I look forward to hearing from you. We can certainly get to know each other beforehand and see if we click. Maybe this trip marks the beginning of a wonderful friendship – who knows what life has in store? I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, I'm new here, single, and looking for a female travel companion. In October, I'll be traveling to France and would love to spend this time with a nice companion. I've been on my own for seven years, and now I'd like to open my heart again and try something new. I could imagine a city trip or a cruise together, but I'm also happy with many other activities, entirely according to our shared interests. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, cycling, inline skating, swimming, traveling, and camping. I also play the saxophone, which brings me a lot of joy. I enjoy spending time with my daughter, who is my only family since the death of her mother. I'm passionate about cooking and listening to music that you can also dance to. The sea is also part of my life, as I work on a drilling rig. That's why I use every free moment to travel and discover new places. If you are also single and would like to travel together and get to know each other better, I would be very happy to hear from you. This way we can find out if we are a good match. If something develops between us and we both feel comfortable, we can meet and take the next step together.

Fred, 55 (Male) seeking female travel companions

Hello and a warm welcome to my profile. My name is Fred, I am 56 years old and come from the beautiful city of Nice in the south of France. I am self-employed, which has given me the freedom to live independently, remain open to new things and consciously enjoy life. Today I want to dedicate more time to a passion that has always been with me: traveling. For me, traveling means much more than just visiting new places. It's about getting to know other cultures, meeting inspiring people, experiencing unforgettable moments and gathering experiences that enrich life. I am a calm, respectful, honest and curious person. I appreciate deep conversations, spontaneous encounters over a cup of coffee, walks in unfamiliar places, impressive natural landscapes, historic cities and discovering the regional cuisine. I believe that every place tells its own story and that you can discover it by traveling with openness and curiosity. Since I have no children, I enjoy the freedom to plan my travels entirely according to my own ideas. I like to leave my comfort zone, discover new traditions and get to know different ways of life. Every trip is an opportunity for me to broaden my horizons, create new memories and grow personally. Above all, I wish for authentic encounters with honest, friendly and open-minded people who enjoy sharing their experiences and discovering new things together. Whether exploring a city, admiring a sunset, visiting a local market, trying regional specialties or simply having a pleasant conversation – I am convinced that the most beautiful memories often arise from the simplest moments. I believe that the most beautiful adventures sometimes begin with a single message. If you also enjoy traveling, discovering new horizons and having interesting conversations, I look forward to getting to know you. Maybe our paths will cross somewhere in this world one day. Until then, I look forward to a nice exchange and wish you all the best.

Why a Shared Voyage is a Better Voyage

While solo travel has its own unique rewards, the cruise experience is an adventure that truly shines when shared. Imagine sharing the awe of sailing into the Grand Harbour of Valletta, Malta, or laughing with a companion over a shared plate of tapas after a day exploring Barcelona. These are the moments that forge lasting bonds and create the richest memories. Having a travel partner transforms a simple holiday into a shared story. Practically speaking, a cruise companion is invaluable. You have someone to save your lounge chair by the pool, a dedicated photographer to capture you against a stunning glacial backdrop in Alaska or a Caribbean sunset, and a safety net when exploring unfamiliar ports. It provides a sense of security and camaraderie that can elevate the entire trip.

Furthermore, the social dynamic of a cruise is geared towards pairs and groups. With a partner from urlaubspartner.net, you have an instant dinner companion for the main dining room, someone to try the specialty restaurants with, and a partner for onboard activities like dance classes, trivia nights, or even shore excursions. This shared participation helps you both to fully immerse yourselves in the cruise lifestyle. It mitigates the potential for loneliness that some solo travellers feel on a large ship and opens up more opportunities for social engagement. It's about enhancing the journey, making every discovery, every meal, and every sunset an experience for two.

Navigating the Single Supplement Challenge

One of the biggest financial hurdles for solo cruisers is the dreaded 'single supplement.' Most cruise fares are based on double occupancy, meaning two people sharing a cabin. When a solo traveller books a cabin, the cruise line often charges a supplement, which can range from 150% to 200% of the per-person rate. This means you could be paying almost as much as two people, just to have the cabin to yourself. This practice effectively penalizes those who wish to travel alone, making cruising a much more expensive proposition.

This is where finding a cruise partner through the Travel Buddy Community becomes a game-changer. By finding a compatible travel buddy to share a cabin, you immediately cut your accommodation cost in half. You pay the standard per-person, double-occupancy rate, just like everyone else. The money saved is substantial and can be reallocated to enhance your trip in other ways: you could upgrade to a balcony cabin, book more exciting shore excursions, indulge in a spa treatment, or even fund your next cruise! Finding a partner isn’t just about companionship; it's a strategic financial decision that makes cruising far more accessible and affordable. It democratizes the experience, allowing you to enjoy all the perks of a voyage without the unfair financial penalty of travelling solo.

Your Voyage Begins at urlaubspartner.net

Finding your perfect cruise mate is a journey in itself, and it starts with creating the right profile on urlaubspartner.net. Think of your profile as your personal travel ambassador. Be specific and be authentic. Clearly state that you are looking for a 'cruise partner' and mention the destinations that interest you most, whether it's the sun-drenched Greek Isles, the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, or the historic capitals of the Baltic. What kind of cruise are you looking for? A relaxing retreat with lots of sea days and spa visits? An action-packed adventure with scuba diving and hiking excursions? Or a culture-rich exploration of ancient cities? The more detail you provide about your ideal trip, budget, and travel style, the better your chances of attracting a truly compatible partner.

Once your profile is ready, use the platform’s search filters to find others with similar cruising ambitions. You can search by keywords like 'cruise,' 'Caribbean,' or 'Mediterranean,' as well as by age, gender, and location. When you find a promising profile, don't be shy. Send a thoughtful message that shows you've actually read their profile. Mention your shared interest in, for example, a Norwegian Fjords cruise or your mutual desire to avoid the single supplement. urlaubspartner.net is not a travel agency that pairs you up; it's a community that empowers you to build a connection from the ground up, ensuring your shared adventure is based on mutual understanding and shared excitement long before you ever step foot on the ship.

Mediterranean Wonders: Sun, History, and Shared Dinners

A Mediterranean cruise is a journey through the cradle of Western civilization, a vibrant tapestry of culture, cuisine, and coastal beauty. Sharing this experience with a travel partner amplifies its magic. Imagine standing together in the Colosseum in Rome, sharing a moment of awe before millennia of history. Picture yourselves navigating the labyrinthine streets of Mykonos, discovering a hidden taverna, and sharing a delicious meal of fresh seafood as the sun sets over the Aegean Sea. These are experiences that become richer through shared perspective and conversation. Exploring bustling markets like La Boqueria in Barcelona or the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is also safer and more enjoyable with a second pair of eyes and a shared sense of adventure.

Planning a Mediterranean cruise is best done for the shoulder seasons, spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October). During these months, the weather is pleasant, the summer crowds have thinned, and the prices are often more reasonable. With a cruise partner, you can plan your shore excursions together, perhaps opting for a private wine-tasting tour in Tuscany or a guided walk through the ruins of Pompeii. Back on board, the day's discoveries fuel your dinner conversation, transforming a simple meal into a continuation of your adventure. Finding a partner who shares your passion for history, art, or simply relaxing on a beautiful beach is the key to unlocking the very best of a Mediterranean voyage.

The Magic of the Caribbean: Turquoise Waters and Island Rhythms

Escaping to the Caribbean is the ultimate antidote to winter blues, a symphony of warm sunshine, turquoise waters, and laid-back island culture. A Caribbean cruise with a travel partner is an invitation to shared fun and relaxation. Together, you can explore the diverse personalities of each island port. One day, you might be snorkeling hand-in-hand through the vibrant coral reefs of a marine park in Belize; the next, you're enjoying a rum punch on a pristine white-sand beach in Barbados. Activities that might seem daunting alone, like ziplining through a Dominican rainforest or learning to salsa in San Juan, become exciting shared challenges with a companion by your side.

The best time to cruise the Caribbean is typically from December to April, when the weather is at its driest and most pleasant. This is peak season, but sharing the cost makes it much more manageable. When looking for a partner on urlaubspartner.net for a Caribbean trip, discuss what kind of island experience you both prefer. Are you drawn to the bustling energy and shopping of St. Maarten, the natural beauty and hiking of St. Lucia, or the historic charm of Curaçao? Aligning your interests ensures that your shore excursions are a source of mutual enjoyment. Whether it's co-navigating a rented beach buggy, trying different local foods at each stop, or simply relaxing on the balcony and watching the world drift by, a Caribbean cruise is an idyllic setting for building a new travel friendship.

Discovering the Baltic Sea: A Voyage Through Culture and Capitals

For those whose interests lean more towards history, art, and grand architecture, a Baltic Sea cruise is an unforgettable experience. This itinerary is a dense and rewarding journey through the heart of Northern Europe, often including magnificent capitals like Stockholm, Copenhagen, Tallinn, and Helsinki. Sharing this culturally rich voyage with a companion allows for deeper appreciation and stimulating conversations. You can discuss the blend of medieval and modern design in Tallinn's Old Town, marvel together at the intricate beauty of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg (when itineraries permit), or share a traditional Danish pastry in a cozy Copenhagen café. Navigating the public transport in each new city is far less intimidating with a partner to help read maps and make decisions.

The prime season for a Baltic cruise is during the summer months, from June to August. This is when you'll experience the famous 'White Nights,' with long hours of daylight that allow for maximum exploration in each port. The weather is mild, and the cities are alive with festivals and outdoor activities. When searching for a partner for this type of cruise, look for someone who shares your curiosity and stamina. Days in port can be long and packed with sightseeing. Finding a buddy who is just as excited as you are to explore the Vasa Museum in Stockholm or wander through the art nouveau district in Helsinki will make the trip exceptionally rewarding. It's a journey for the mind and the senses, made all the better with someone to share the wonder.

Vetting Your First Mate: From Profile to Port

The success of your shared cruise adventure hinges on finding a genuinely compatible partner. This process of getting to know each other is the most critical step you'll take before booking anything. Start by spending time on the urlaubspartner.net platform. Read profiles carefully and engage in detailed messaging. Once you've established a good initial rapport, it's essential to move the conversation to a video call. Seeing someone's face and hearing their voice builds trust and gives you a much better sense of their personality than text alone.

During your video calls, be prepared to discuss the 'Big Three': budget, habits, and expectations. Be transparent about your total budget for the cruise, including onboard spending, shore excursions, and drinks. Discuss your travel style: are you an early riser or a night owl? Do you plan every minute of your day, or do you prefer to be spontaneous? Talk about cabin etiquette. It's a small space, so discussing cleanliness, privacy expectations, and guest policies is not awkward, it's smart. A great way to test your compatibility is to plan a hypothetical shore excursion together. This small collaborative task can reveal a lot about your communication styles and ability to compromise. Remember, you're not just looking for someone to split the cost; you're looking for a respectful, reliable, and pleasant companion. Take your time, trust your intuition, and don't commit to a trip until you feel confident and comfortable.

Onboard Harmony: Preparing for a Smooth Sailing Experience

Once you've found your cruise partner and booked your trip, the next phase is preparing for a harmonious onboard experience. Clear communication before you sail can prevent many potential issues at sea. A key topic is finances. While you've split the main cost, there are many onboard expenses. Decide in advance how you'll handle them. Will you have separate onboard accounts linked to your own credit cards? This is often the simplest and cleanest method. If you plan to share the cost of things like a bottle of wine at dinner or a taxi in port, agree on a system, whether it’s taking turns paying or using a payment app to settle up regularly. Discussing money upfront removes potential awkwardness later.

Next, think about packing. Coordinate on some items to save space. Does the cabin have a hairdryer? There's no need to bring two. You can also discuss dress codes. How many formal nights does your cruise have? Will you both participate? Aligning on this ensures no one feels over- or under-dressed. Finally, talk about communication and personal space. A cruise ship can be a massive place, so agree on how to stay in touch, especially on days at sea when phone service is non-existent. Many cruise lines have their own messaging apps. Also, respect each other's need for alone time. It's perfectly fine if one person wants to read a book on the balcony while the other attends a line-dancing class. Flexibility, respect, and open communication are the pillars of a successful partnership, ensuring your voyage is smooth sailing from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find people specifically looking for a cruise partner?

Use the search filters on urlaubspartner.net and enter keywords like 'cruise,' 'cruising,' 'Caribbean,' or the name of a specific cruise line. Also, be sure to clearly state your own cruise intentions in your profile headline and description to attract the right people.

Is finding a travel partner on urlaubspartner.net safe?

We are a platform to connect people, so your safety depends on thorough vetting. We strongly advise extensive messaging, video calls, and reference checks before booking. Trust your intuition and never share financial information or book a trip with someone you don't feel 100% comfortable with.

Who books the cruise?

You and your new travel partner book the cruise yourselves. urlaubspartner.net is a community platform, not a travel agency. You should book together, or have a very clear, written agreement on how the booking will be handled to ensure both parties are protected.

How do we handle the single cabin?

This requires an open discussion before booking. Talk about cleanliness, privacy, sleeping schedules, and whether you are comfortable with either person bringing back a guest (many members agree on a 'no guests' rule). Setting these boundaries early is key to a comfortable experience.

What if my travel partner cancels at the last minute?

This is a risk, which is why travel insurance is essential. Ensure your policy covers cancellation for any reason, if possible. You should also have a written agreement between yourselves about cancellation penalties and how deposits will be handled.

How do we split the costs of the cruise?

Typically, the main cruise fare is split 50/50, as this is the primary goal. For onboard expenses, the easiest method is for each person to have their own separate onboard account linked to their own credit card. Discuss how you'll handle shared costs like a shared taxi before the trip.

Can I find a same-gender travel partner?

Absolutely. Many members, regardless of gender, prefer a same-gender partner for cabin-sharing comfort. You can specify this preference in your profile and use search filters to connect with members who are seeking the same arrangement.

Does urlaubspartner.net take a commission on our trip?

No, not at all. We are a member-supported community. We don't take any commission from the travels our members organize. Your financial arrangements for the trip are strictly between you and your travel partner.

What if we discover we have different interests for shore excursions?

That's perfectly normal and can be a good thing! It’s important to feel comfortable splitting up for a few hours. You can explore different things and then meet up for lunch or back on the ship to share your different experiences. It's about finding a balance between shared time and individual pursuits.

How long should we talk before we agree to book a cruise?

There's no magic number, but it should be a significant period. We recommend weeks, not days. Have multiple video calls. Discuss everything from budgets to pet peeves. Rushing into a booking is the most common mistake. Take your time to build real trust.

Can I find a cruise partner for a luxury or expedition cruise?

Yes. Members on the Travel Buddy Community have a wide range of interests and budgets. Be specific in your profile about the type of cruise you're interested in, whether it's a high-end line like Seabourn or an adventurous journey to Antarctica with Hurtigruten.

What happens if we don't get along during the cruise?

This is where pre-trip vetting is crucial to minimize the risk. If it happens, communicate respectfully. A large cruise ship offers plenty of space to get some distance. You can spend days doing separate activities and just meet for dinner, or even dine separately if needed. Remember to stay civil, as you are sharing a cabin.

I'm over 60. Can I find a cruise partner in my age group?

Yes, our community spans all ages. Many of our members are mature travelers looking for companions to explore the world with. You can use the age-range filter in your search to find members in a similar stage of life.

Should we book a cabin with one bed or two?

For a new travel partnership, always request a cabin with two twin beds. Most cruise ship cabins can be configured with either one king bed or two separate twins. Make sure you confirm a twin-bed configuration with the cruise line when booking.

Is it better to choose a short or long cruise for a first trip together?

For your first trip with a new travel partner, it's often wise to start with a shorter cruise, perhaps 3 to 5 nights. This lowers the financial and time commitment and acts as a 'test run' for your compatibility. If it goes well, you can plan a longer voyage for your next adventure.

What's the difference between a free and a premium membership on urlaubspartner.net?

A free membership typically allows you to create a profile and see who is available. A premium membership is required to initiate contact and send unlimited messages, which is essential for the process of vetting and finding a suitable partner.

Do I need special vaccinations for a cruise?

This depends entirely on your itinerary. Caribbean or South American cruises may have different requirements than European ones. Always consult your doctor and the official health advisory websites for your destinations well in advance of your trip.

Does urlaubspartner.net offer any kind of background checks?

No, urlaubspartner.net does not perform background checks on its members. We provide the platform for connection, but the responsibility for vetting and ensuring your own safety lies with you. This is why we emphasize a slow and thorough 'getting to know you' phase.

Should our passports be from the same country?

Not necessarily, but it is a critical point to discuss. Different nationalities can have different visa requirements for the same cruise ports. You must both verify your individual visa needs for every single port of call on the itinerary before booking.

Can I find a travel partner for a river cruise, not just an ocean cruise?

Yes, definitely. While ocean cruises are popular, many members are also interested in river cruises through Europe (Danube, Rhine) or Asia (Mekong). Be specific in your profile, using keywords like 'river cruise' to connect with members sharing that interest.

What is the best way to present my profile to attract a cruise partner?

Use a clear, recent photo of yourself smiling. Be positive and specific in your bio. Instead of saying 'I like travel,' say 'I'm excited to find a partner for a 10-day Baltic cruise to explore historic cities and museums.' This shows clear intent and helps the right person find you.

Can I trust my travel partner with my cabin key card?

Each person will receive their own individual key card from the cruise line. This card is your room key, your onboard ID, and your method of payment. There should be no reason to share it or give it to your travel partner.
