best travel companion? just yourself. then when you decide that the coolest thing to do at this moment is just sit in a doorway and watch the local life go by there’s not someone standing there asking you “what are we doing here? why are we stopping?” otherwise, next best is someone who is quite content to say “okay, cool. i’m gonna keep walking and i’ll meet you up the road”… that is, a travel companion who is self sufficient enough to have their own agenda of enjoyment, if doing it together isn’t what’s happening right now. a companion requires compromise. decide what level of compromise you are cool with, and be sure your companion is at that level also.

Hey Ivan! Great Post! I love to travel too and I completely agree with you.
Travel equals share.
And after a great trip you are full or histories to tell like the ones you post.
Thanks for sharing

Another great post! Finding a fellow travel partner that you completely click with is definitely hard, which is why I tend to travel by myself. Even travel with my boyfriend is sometimes difficult, because I’m much more of a “walk around town and look at everything” type of person, and he on the other hand, wants to visit every museum and every tourist attraction. However, we share a common ground on all the other points you mentioned, so we compromise on the one we’re missing. Which is actually a wonderful thing in the end. Yes, sometimes I don’t want to go to the museum, and sometimes he doesn’t want to walk from one point to the other in order to see traditional houses, but more often than not, we really enjoy going a bit out of our way and doing something that without one another we wouldn’t do. So, although I think all your points are very valuable, I also think that sometimes, someone who has a bit of a different perspective when traveling can really be rewarding.
