great post, i find alot of things are about compromise. My older brother was extremely shy, and was NOT a budget traveller. It killed me everytime i paid for a 30+ euro meal and hotel. After two trips with him, i took one with my best friend for two months and it was by far the best trip of my life =) while there are certain things to deal with (teeth grinding), we are both adventurous, easy going, and curious so it worked out perfectly =) (hostels/budget food). anyways im leaving to a 4+ month solo trip to asia so I guess ill be able to see another side to travel =)

I would say all these tips are great except that most of my travels are done with my wife so even if a have a problem with lets just say #3 the budget there’s no way to change buddies. Just end up having to find a work around. #2 on the list would drive me crazy!!

I have found my best travel companions on the road, it is easy because you know that the fact that you two are in the same place, on the same trajectory, means you probably have some fundamentals in common.

For me, a willingness to embrace uncertainties, random trails and waterfalls and sleeping in awkward accommodations is a must!

Also no whining or no binge drinking.

I wish I knew these things before I started travelling with friends. Absolutely agree with #3 about budget and #5 about expectations for time together & apart. Misunderstandings in these areas can lead to a lot of resentment, hurt feelings & an all-around bad trip.

OMG yes, avoid the “cool” guy from work! I mistakenly traveled with the “cool girl” from work once, similar problems (although unlike your companion, Mike, she was at least waterproof!).

Pam, my husband definitely loves me that little bit more on the road because I can’t leave all those books and papers lying around everywhere.
