2. CHOOSE WISELY
Although in most relationships
opposites do in fact attract, this
notion does not apply to
considerations for a travel buddy. It
is crucial to share a great deal of
common interests or someone is
going to miss out. There is no
reason to travel with a person
unless you want to do and
accomplish the same things. From
food to tours, from history to
cultural appreciation, and from
sleeping in to late night parties,
opinions on how time is best
occupied need to fall in lane.

3. BUDGET
Discussions of budget
will also come into play.
Even if friends are into
doing the same activities,
they might desire
different levels of class.
There are pricey hotels
with immaculate views,
and there are budget
hostels with bunk beds
and shared bathrooms.
The acceptable range of
expenditures needs to be
agreed upon beforehand
or problems will arise.

4. GETTING
ALONG
Lastly, travel companions need to have
personalities that mesh. They need to enjoy
moving around at a similar pace, and have
comparable thoughts on risk appropriation. It
can be very frustrating to argue at every hint
of danger. Also, some people like to criticize
everything under the sun, while others can
take anything with grace and grain of salt. The
last thing anyone wants is someone
interrupting their moment of Zen with a list of
complaints, so temperaments definitely need
to be in tune.
