Availability ??  How often is a person able to go.

Season ??  Preference for Spring/Summer/Fall.

Swimmer or non swimmer ??

Otherwise the forums already provide clues to the style of trips and activities valued by members.  If you're more of a quiet type of paddler who doesn't say much (like yellowbird)  ::), then consider responding to threads which interest you or maybe add a trip report from the past.  Its a great way to introduce yourself to a potential future paddling companion.

Tripper, I have earplugs.
