So this is a subject of debate which has been quite common throughout my experience. And some of the justifications I've heard have been hilarious over the years. So, who would you travel with?
- Alone
- With 1-2 friends
- With 3 or more friends
- With your partner/spouse
- With any number of random people
- With family (other than spouse/partner)
- Other
Personally, in 8 years of travelling, I've only ever travelled with 3 different people, including my husband (for the last 2 years). However, despite having a spouse, I still much prefer travelling alone. Crazy I know, but that's just the way I swing. Having said that, out of 85 countries visited, I've been to 22 with my husband (of which 5 I had been to already) and bound for another 8 in September (of which 1 I've been to already).
We both agree that there are countries that I'd go to that he wouldn't, such as Uzbekistan (which I went to this winter and loved!), majority of Africa (planning the West for early 2018), etc. But more often than not, he basically insists on going where I go. Understandable I guess...
What are your thoughts/views?
