with a companion - Part 1 - By Beth Klemick
Last year my fiance and I traveled to Portugal together, prior to our departure several family members kept referring to our trip as the, "trial honeymoon", or "good thing you are taking a test drive". Traveling with a companion whether it is a romantic interest, friend, family member or acquaintance can be a blast and a rewarding travel experience but it will have it's high and lows.
To quote a colleague, her advice is, "think long and hard before going with someone, especially on a longer trip/adventure". From her previous solo travels and those with someone, the latter may prevent both parties from meeting new people and venturing out beyond the comfort zone. It is impossible to ensure that traveling with a companion will go smoothly. There is also no foolproof way to choose the perfect travel companion, but thankfully with the internet along with this article a few tips can be provided and referred to.
