Traveling abroad is not as easy as at home, especially when you think of traveling to a city where you are not familiar with your life, you will always want to find someone to accompany you. However, it is not easy to ask friends to go abroad, and I often hear stories of traveling abroad with good friends, but overturning the friendship boat. After all, travel is 24 hours with each other, all the advantages and disadvantages will be magnified and examined, and there are too many things to be tempered in when traveling, in addition to having great tolerance, when you ask friends before the trip, you should also consider whether you are suitable to be each other's travel companions. Here are a few things to look out for. The next time you travel with friends, you may want to refer to it.
1. Whether the consumption concept is compatible
From the moment the travel is booked, it begins to test whether the consumption outlook of the travel companions is similar, and then there is a series of food, clothing, housing and transportation. At this time, if they have different consumption views, they may not be suitable for traveling together. For example, some people just want to enjoy when they go out, and if they can buy comfort, convenience and happiness for some money, they can accept it, on the contrary, some people want to save and experience it, and they will not want to spend too much money. If you encounter such a situation, something unpleasant will definitely happen. It is recommended that before choosing to go abroad together, you must consider whether the other party's usual consumption behavior is similar to your own, or judge through your usual relationship. After all, talking about money hurts feelings, and no one wants to go abroad and fight over money.
2. Whether the purpose of the trip is the same
Everyone's purpose of going out is different, and this is one of the things to consider before going abroad with friends, after all, it is related to the arrangement of the whole trip. For example, some people think that going abroad is to seize the time, visit the major attractions, and fill the daily itinerary, while some people want to rest and hope that the journey will be as easy as possible. The two are very different in the journey, the purpose of travel is different, it is the most prone to friction, and hard pockets together will only make each other have an unpleasant journey experience, so before looking for friends to go abroad, be sure to confirm that both parties must reach a consensus on the purpose of the trip, especially the arrangement of the itinerary, so that the journey can proceed smoothly.
3. Can you plan your trip together?
That's something I think is important. If you're not one who wants to do everything, before you go on a trip abroad with a friend, be sure to think about whether they are someone who will do pre-trip planning together. Going abroad, whether it is booking air tickets, accommodation, restaurants, arranging scenic spots, transportation, etc., is a laborious job, if no one is willing to do these things, then we must work together. Choose the area you are good at and start arranging, everyone does their own responsible work, don't be a thunder teammate, just want to be lazy.
4. Whether you have enough patience with each other
Patience for this matter, some people have, but maybe not much, and may even look at people using it. Most of the friends you are looking for when you travel are those who have known each other for many years, and you may be too familiar with them, and at some moments, you will be impatient. Especially when traveling abroad, there will always be some episodes, it may be lost, lost items or sudden illness, etc., when unpredictable situations occur, you need to be patient with each other to solve the problem, don't have too many complaints or tempers.
The above 4 points are the most important factors in choosing a travel companion, and you must think clearly and communicate well before looking for friends to go abroad. Finding a travel companion that matches you can not only maintain friendship, but also make your trip more enjoyable.
