Travel buddies from Edinburgh

Hi! I'm Olivia, 28, from Manchester (UK). Slovakia has been on my list for years – now it's becoming a reality: in August 2027, I'll have 9 days off and am planning a hiking trip with stops in Bratislava, Štrbské Pleso, Banská Bystrica, and a few other places. Interests there: hiking, mountains, castles. Accommodation preferably a guesthouse, no package deals, no rigid schedule. I like to plan loosely and leave days open, enjoy getting up early and having a coffee with a view. Language-wise, English works fine. Looking for a like-minded travel buddy for the whole trip or for specific sections. Feel free to message me if you're interested!
