Why Travel Alone?sm   We have a Better Idea!

"Why travel alone when traveling together with a pre-selected, compatible partner and newly found friend is not only less costly but also more enjoyable and more practical? Memorable sights should be shared with someone you like," says Jurgen, who conceived the idea of a companion service when he traveled solo after his own divorce and found it to be lonely.


Find New Friends, Travel Companions and/or Travel Partners!

Single, widowed, and divorced people know that living and traveling alone is expensive and lonely. All travel bargains are based on double occupancy (Noah's rule). Solo travelers have to pay a single supplement of up to 100% in this two-by-two world of travel.
 

TCE has helped solo travelers find partners to travel with for over 20 years.

 

Company Profile

TCE is a well-established, nationwide service that helps single travelers find compatible travel companions.

TCE has already helped thousands of unattached travelers find new friends or partners, whether to share local events, short or longer travels here or abroad. No other service has so many years of experience in this field. 

Jurgen's unique service has been featured in most U.S. newspapers, major magazines, countless travel books and travel newsletters and on major radio and TV shows.

 

'Wish I had done this years ago' - we hear this so often from members. TCE's Membership will open up ways to make new friends and help you end your traveling-solo (or traveling-nowhere) days.

Nationwide Service - All Ages.

TCE has been known to be a service with the highest integrity that helps single travelers in at least four ways:

  • make new friends;
  • host other singles or be hosted - Many TCE members love to host other members visiting their area and show off their town;
  • find a compatible partner;
  • save the single supplement and travel more.

From our current listings of members seeking travel companions, you will have the option of choosing your own compatible travel companions -- No more lonely trips or costly single supplements for you.


TCE Pays for Itself!

Jens Jurgen, a well respected, consumer-oriented travel writer, also publishes a bi-monthly travel newsletter covering airfare bargains, hotel and cruise discounts, travel safety tips, senior travel discounts, books for singles, and more. 

 

The TCE membership includes a subscription to the Travel Companionssm newsletter. Each issue is full of money-saving news permitting you to travel more at lower cost while enjoying travel (and life) with newly found friends. Why not start saving now? All great travel deals are for two people traveling together! 

 


 

TCE  Is  NOT  For  Everyone or Just Anybody

Most travelers would agree that a travel partner can make or break a trip. Compatibility is important. TCE is for sincere and upbeat solo travelers who would enjoy the companionship of other like-minded travelers. There are some travelers who prefer and/or should travel alone. Traveling alone can be easier than traveling with someone who is not compatible with you. Traveling alone is just more expensive and often lonely.

Patience, perseverance, and a positive outlook have rewarded many former members with compatible persons to travel with. Many have found lifetime travel mates. If you are looking for instant results, you may be disappointed. Try to plan ahead.

TCE is Not Based Solely on the Internet - Many Reasons:

We have provided a most sincere, honest and personal service to our members for almost 20 years and are not ready to compromise our integrity and reputation, which depends heavily on the quality of our membership.

To ensure the quality of our membership, we require each member to provide their real identity (for internal use only), not just an  e-mail address. We will communicate with each inquirer and member by U.S. mail initially and, for members,  occasionally thereafter.

New members must fill out and mail their Profile Page (bios and details on travel habits and preferences) and join with an imprinted check or a credit card with his/her signature authorizing it - joining on the Internet is not permitted. Our central office in Long Island, NY (USA), will handle members' files and provide assistance to members when needed.

We do not offer a free or trial service because our main goal is not just to expand the membership, but rather to provide dependable service to our paying members. By requiring members to pay a moderate annual fee, we not only cover our office expenses, but also insure that those who join are sincere in finding new friends and/or a travel partner.


Plan Ahead for Holidays!

Don't wait until the last minute - It takes time to find a compatible travel companion.
