Travel buddies from Rustenburg

Hi! I'm Naomi, 30, from Johannesburg (South Africa). Turkmenistan has been on my list for years – now it's becoming a reality: in December 2028, I have 8 days off and am planning a guided trip with stops in Darvaza, Mary, Konye-Urgench, and a few other places. Interests on-site: desert, architecture, rare sights. Accommodation preference: hotel, no package tours, no rigidly scheduled itinerary. I like to plan loosely and leave days open, enjoy getting up early and having a coffee with a view. Language-wise, English works. Looking for a like-minded travel buddy for the whole duration or for individual segments. Feel free to message me if you're interested!
