Many people enjoy traveling, because they can broaden their horizons,
taste different kinds of food, and appreciate beautiful scenery. However,
traveling means you will be exposed to unfamiliar environments. Thus,
it is crucial to choose a suitable companion to go with you because a
nice companion can share your happiness, reduce your loneliness and
help handle problems. Therefore, compared with good food and good
locations, I prefer traveling with good friends.
To begin with, a good friend can make travel more meaningful and
enjoyable. You and your friend can plan the trip together and experience
thins together such as hiking, picnicking, and enjoying beautiful scenery
and tasty food. Such experiences will help you know each other better
and enhance your relationship. For this reason, traveling is not only an
activity but also a way to make precious memories in your life.
Moreover, a friend would relieve your loneliness when you are traveling.
If you travel to somewhere alone, you will not have anyone to talk to.
You can read books or listen to music on an MP3 player, but no one would
share your happiness during your journey. If you are accompanied by a
friend, s/he can take your picture at beautiful scenic spots or other interesting
tourist attractions. You can share your photos with each other and talk about
the interesting things that happen around you. You may also eat together while
having a nice conversation at a local restaurant. With a friend, traveling becomes
more interesting and meaningful and we are no longer lonely.
Most important of all, a friend can assist you when you are traveling somewhere.
We might meet something unfamiliar when we travel. For instance, we might get
lost, and a friend who has a great sense of direction could help us find our way.
The company of a friend can also relieve fear and stress. Problems may come, but
at least you can solve your problems together.
In conclusion, traveling with a friend is essential because he or she will share your
happiness, help you maintain peace of mind, and provide assistance when you are
in trouble. Thus, I think a good friend is more important than other things when I
travel on vacation.
