is a traveling companion a time bomb?

If you have ever traveled with others, you will definitely feel the same way. A traveling companion is a magical existence, and this role is very different from your family, lovers, friends and colleagues. A close friend who tells you everything in daily life may turn against you during the trip, and a couple who are about to get married may break up directly after the trip ... After returning from a trip, I think it's time to talk to you about choosing a travel companion during the trip.

do you really need a traveling companion?

if you are not sure about your traveling companion and don't want to ruin the whole trip, and you haven't evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of traveling with your companion, I think the safest plan is to take no traveling companion, no traveling companion, no traveling companion. Meeting a reliable traveling companion is not much higher than winning the lottery.

so, why do you want to find a travel companion to travel with you? In the final analysis, there are three purposes to find a fellow traveler: to get High together, to complement each other, and to share funds.

? If you need a High traveling companion

If you want to get high together, you and your traveling companion must have the same three views, such as high tolerance for differences in economy, time arrangement and specific implementation details, so you'd better choose the one you can play with, otherwise you will shout with your life in the Sun God car in the amusement park, and your traveling companion can only watch the bag with you under different amusement projects, then you will feel disappointed and he will feel bored.

? Solution: So how do you find a traveling companion who can get high together? Personal experience is that you should be more active. Since you choose your traveling companion, it is the first step of sincerity to make plans in advance and confirm them face to face. Before you choose, you must first understand each other's personality and then make a judgment. If you need a complementary traveling companion

maybe you are not sure to conquer an unknown destination by yourself, and you need to find a traveling companion to help you. Or you are well aware of some shortcomings in your personality and hope to find someone to complement each other perfectly. In a word, you need to do something for you by yourself, or help you carry the load on foot, or make the trip by yourself and find the delicious food by yourself. Two people play the effect that 1+1 is greater than 2.

? Solution: Generally speaking, this kind of traveling companion needs a high degree of fit with you, which is not suitable for finding on social networks. The kind of person who has only met once or twice, who can guarantee to cooperate with you in the trip? Generally speaking, such traveling companions are your friends, and they are not the kind of fair-weather friends. When you need to come up, you should say what part of your responsibility is, and at the same time, you should clearly say what you want from each other.

Of course, this kind of traveling companion is not very easy to find, but believe me, if you have had such a perfect trip with your traveling companion, your friendship will last for a long time. If you just need to share the money

share the cost, it's much easier to say, for example, if you want to share the room fee, or rent a car and share the fare, and how many people need to share the cost when you go to a gourmet country, so you can eat a lot of delicious food at once.

? Solution: Know the budget of the friends who travel together in advance. It is obviously impossible to complete the journey if the budget is too different. Clearly list how the expenses of this trip are probably distributed in several major items, such as meals, accommodation and transportation. In addition, develop a good habit of recording with accounting software at any time, so that there is evidence to follow.

In addition, it is also necessary to synchronize your consumption habits. You love food and wine, but the other person only likes roadside stalls, so this obviously cannot be a perfect trip.

In fact, most people have a lot of expectations for traveling companions when looking for traveling companions:

? When you are happy, you can be happy together and make the atmosphere more High；;

? I can help you when you are in trouble. In fact, I am a nanny-type talent who can help you make the whole plan and take care of you all the time.

? Willing to share the funds with you fairly and fairly will even make you take advantage of some small things occasionally.

? If you look for a traveling companion with such a mentality, believe me, if you find it, that person will be your angel in this life.

After playing "Lianliankan" for many times, I gradually summed up several qualities that a good traveling companion has.

what kind of suitable traveling companion is it?

※ For traveling, share the same values

I think this is the most basic criterion for choosing a traveling companion, because during the journey, you will encounter many multiple-choice questions, some of which will almost refresh your three views. These choices can be generally classified into three categories:

consumption view: poor family is rich or poor travel

tour mode: in-depth tour or destination punching

travel preference: cultural tour or experience tour

No matter in the preparation period or during the trip, every different choice will produce a brand-new travel plan, so if you and your fellow travelers hold different travel values, you must be on the trip. This has nothing to do with personality and temper, it is an attitude, but also a cognition of travel.

※ Reliable personality suitable for travel

I believe that no one wants to be a problem baby in travel, but there are some sudden and inevitable problems that everyone needs to face. Take my annual meeting trip as an example. Because I didn't apply for a visa to Thailand in advance, my friends need to wait for me at the airport for 3-4 minutes to go to landing visa, which is the most testing moment for my fellow travelers.

※ Willing to share responsibilities and not wrangling with each other

One of the purposes of finding a travel companion is to seek help, so during the journey, the travel companion is the support and spiritual pillar of both parties. When we encounter lost, delayed flights and unexpected hotel attractions, those who are respected and welcomed must be those who are willing to calm down and discuss solutions. They can always discuss the optimization scheme of each problem with you in the shortest time, so that we will not be in a dilemma.

※ Rich in travel knowledge and willing to share

If your traveling companion is an academic, congratulations, you have an extra tour guide on this trip. There are also several academic traveling companions around me. When traveling together, they know every section of history of each scenic spot well and give me vivid explanations like a live tour guide.

Among them, there is an upgraded version of the knowledge cafe, which will encourage you to try many new experiences, such as paragliding, hot air balloon, diving, hiking, etc. I admire this kind of fellow travelers, and with them, the whole trip will be added a lot.

how about it? There are less than two weeks before the Spring Festival holiday. Do you have anyone suitable to travel with?
