How to Get Along with Your Travel Partner. A vacation can be relaxing, exciting, and
fun, unless you and your travel partner spend the entire time arguing about where to go
and what to do. You will need Agenda Budget Ability to compromise Breaks Sense of humor
and overnight trip (optional). Step 1. Understand that different people like to experience traveling
in different ways. One person may prefer to have a meticulously detailed schedule while
another may prefer to wing it. Test the waters by going away for only one night on your first
trip with a travel partner. Step 2. Make an agenda, itemizing what each of you wants to
see or do on the trip. Be open to any situations that arise on the trip that may be more fun
or interesting than what is outlined in the itinerary. Step 3. Set up a budget for the
trip that clearly outlines how much the trip is going to cost. Specify every expense and
determine how much each person is responsible for. Step 4. Be willing to compromise. Compromise
means that sometimes both parties have to give up a little of something they want to
make each other happy. Step 5. Take a break from each other. If you have travel plans
that conflict, or one of you wants to stay in the hotel, split off and meet back together
later. Step 6. Work off each other's strengths and weaknesses. If your partner is better
at planning, and you are better at taking pictures, then do what you are good at. Step
7. Have a sense of humor. It is often easier to get along when you and your partner can
share a laugh about your travel experiences. Did you know According to the United Nations
World Tourism Organization, in 2008, international tourism generated $944 billion.
