Summary of Benefits

Key Benefits of Joining TCE and Sharing Travel with Newly Found Friends:

Sharing is More Enjoyable and Enhances the Travel Experience

As social beings we all desire to share good things in life with someone we like. Travel is no exception. Some single travelers find dining alone to be awkward and less enjoyable. Many solo travelers also miss sharing the awe of beautiful sights with someone. Upon coming home, they again find themselves without a partner to reminisce about the trip.

Single rooms or cabins are often small or poorly located - despite the higher cost.

Share with Friends, Not Strangers!

Travel Companion Exchange helps singles to either find another person of the same sex or the opposite sex. "With our service, you don't travel or share with a stranger. Members can become friends before traveling together," comments Jurgen. 

While traveling itself is romantic, some TCE members also found compatibility while traveling together to be a natural beginning to a potentially more permanent relationship, as hundreds of marriages between former members prove. TCE treasures over 1,300 thank-you notes from members and subscribers.

Of course,  we are not a dating service and we encourage friendships (and traveling together) between members of the same or opposite sex. However, since getting married is such a dramatic and exciting experience for both parties involved we at TCE tend to hear (and remember) more about those than just good friendships.

Save Money by Sharing Travel Cost

Since all new hotel rooms and cruise cabins are built for two people traveling together, the single supplement can be up to 100%.

Even a taxi ride is cheaper when you share it with someone else.

It Is Usually Safer to Travel (or Walk) with a Partner

Getting to really know a city means strolling around at night when many special sights are illuminated. Unfortunately, walking alone at night is no longer advisable in many places, not even for men.

"Just having a companion along usually means greater safety, more freedom to explore, to really see the sights you went to see," comments Jurgen.

Single travelers often make easy targets for pickpockets and petty crimes since they cannot leave their bags behind and run after the thief. Making  a phone call to make hotel reservations or finding transportation is much easier when one person is watching the luggage. Being pickpocketed while traveling can also be more devastating for single travelers because there is no one to turn to for help or support.

TCE Members Host Each Other

Even for singles who don't have a lot of time or money to travel, TCE is very useful. Thousands of members have visited and hosted each other, showing visiting singles the local sights often not easily found without a native guide. Now singles no longer have to dine alone when visiting other cities, as they could meet other members almost everywhere.
