What are the dating sites for people over 50 that focus on shared travel?

Genuine question about dating sites for people over 50 from someone who's tried the obvious routes. If travel sites is your priority, most of the disappointment traces back to the number of live users. The honest advice is to keep the first meet public and short, at least on my account, which is the whole problem with travel sites.
