My 'Best Friend' Trip? Almost Gave Me PTSD.
-
Oh, I've tried that long ago. It feels like they're not out to travel but to exercise. They don't look at anything, don't do anything fun, don't even take photos – just power-walk straight ahead. If I go into a shop to browse, they rush me. It's a total buzzkill. And if I get upset, they say I'm being immature.

My partner and I just got back from a trip and saw this. We're both girls, so when we travel, we discuss everything. She's very considerate of me, and I am of her. She handled snagging the train tickets and high-speed rail, so I took care of the hotel. She researched food guides, I looked up attraction guides, and we planned things together. Even if we make a small mistake like taking the wrong turn, we can laugh it off and find our way again. That's what's great – not blaming each other is the best part.

I'm truly so envious.

Traveling is truly the most direct way to see people's true colors.

It's probably due to different values. Traveling is really about mutual compromise; it's best to find people on the same wavelength. For me, even for independent international trips, I'm the one who does all the planning. I even prepare at least two backup plans, ready to switch if any issues arise. The other 'sisters' (older female friends) are also accommodating me, especially since the only elderly person in our group of five is my mom.

Don't travel with close friends too readily. Different habits can genuinely strain the relationship.

This big data recommendation feels a bit weird. But I'm good, actually; I have fun traveling with any of my friends.

Do you have PTSD, @荧惑（有礼帽版）?

I'm so lucky, my travel buddies are all awesome! We might have disagreements, but we always understand and compromise with each other, and always think of the other person. Even when I travel with my parents, it's super fun!!

Just constantly providing emotional support for each other, hahaha!
