I’m writing this post from a plane to Costa Rica for spring break. I’m traveling with one of my best friends from school, Alyssa, who is a seasoned traveler and an awesome travel buddy. However, I’ve also taken trips with some not-so-awesome travel buddies. It’s kind of like having a close friend as a roommate: depending on your lifestyle, traveling together can make or break a solid friendship. Over the next five days, I’ll be writing about five types of travel buddies I’ve encountered, the pros and cons of traveling with each, and which ones I think are compatible with each other. Here’s a preview of the five types I’ll be writing about:
- The Tourist
- The Adventurer
- The Homebody
- The Party Animal
- Old Faithful
Have you ever traveled with a friend? Was it a positive or negative experience? Have you encountered any other categories of travel companions?
