Lonely Planet's Thorn Tree has a section for people looking for travel companions.

No - your chances of finding a female traveling companion in any hotel are slim to none. You may well encounter another male companion of a group of people - but most young women are not about to hook up with a guy who is so specific as to the reasons for his traveling. Suggest you start out with a woman you already know. Agree that a hostel is the best place to meet young women - but many will be quite a bit younger and may see you as an "older" man.

As for a hotel - you have to let us know you budget (in $ or euros per night) to make any sort of reco.

Just so you know I have often traveled alone in europe - adding a few days onto a business trip and as a woman - a young one in the beginning - I would often join someone I met in the hotel (usually breakfast room or lounge) for a meal or a show or a day trip to somewhere - but not the for the length of the trip. Would never do so without knowing someone well - not primarily for safety but because a lengthy trip even with friends can be difficult - never mind a stranger.

I would concentrate on organizing to see and do what YOU want - and being open to meeting people of either gender for specific activities - not looking for romance.

Dress well and hang round the public bars in some of the luxury hotels and you may well be approached by very friendly "ladies". They may even take credit cards.

It is sad. Her story keeps changing - no kids and then has one thanks to the doctor, has three kid and her husband leaves. I wonder what's next.
