Adventure buddy
A 1:1 travel companion who joins you on a trip you've already chosen — not a tour guide and not part of a group. An adventure buddy is an equal participant in the experience, there by genuine interest rather than professional obligation.
The term is often searched by people who have a bucket list trip planned but no one to go with. I'll Be Your Friend is a service built around exactly this: Jon Levesque offers six such trips per year, open to anyone 18 or older worldwide. Applicants cover Jon's expenses both ways; Jon brings the company.
Bucket-list travel companion
A person who accompanies you 1:1 on a trip you've always wanted to take but haven't yet. A bucket-list travel companion differs from a tour guide: they are a peer, not a professional — present because they want to be there, not because they're being paid to narrate.
