Anyone who has travelled with others can understand that choosing a good travel companion(同行者) is important for a great holiday. The right person can make a vacation more enjoyable; the wrong person can make you uncomfortable and even end a friendship. Here is our top advice on travelling the world with a friend and still staying friends by the end of your trip.
_________ One of the most difficult things when travelling with friends is organizing and sharing expenses(费用). With so many things to buy and activities to do, it’s easy to forget who’s paying for what. If you wait till the end of the trip to organize expenses, there might be a lot of disagreement. That may make you unhappy.
Know about who you are as a traveller. Knowing your needs, hobbies, dislikes, and travel style will help you in deciding who can travel with you. Make a list of questions.
Ask the right question. You have to ask your potential(可能的) companion the right questions. The primary purpose of these questions is to decide if you’ll be compatible as travel companions. It’s of great importance that you enjoy doing similar activities, work similar hours and have a similar budget(预算).
Knowledge is power. Finally, it pays to get as much information as possible before you both decide to travel together. Plan a time to talk. Go out to lunch or spend the day discussing the travel together if you live in the same area. In situations where your travel styles differ, find ways to solve them.
