What you think would be an ideal travel partner. Have you had that experience before.  How was it?

A perfect travel cannot be without an ideal travel partner. People are willing to choose a partner whose personality is similar familiar with themselve. Before a trip, there are lots of things to prepare for .During a trip travel, there also must be many things to do. When we discuss about the details of the trip, different people will have different opinions. So if the travel partner is easygoing, it will be beneficial to the trip. If the person is also careful, that will be perfect.
Last time, I went to XIAMEN with my friend. She did the travel plan including where to go , how to go . The only thing that I had to /needed to should do was just follow her. The whole process was relaxing and joyful. Both of us were easygoing and we were in agreement with the hotel and restaurant. Every day we woke up naturally and hung out nearby. The best most interesting thing was to taste the local snacks.
I think she was an ideal travel partner for me. We have similar  familiar personality and hobbies. We didn’t care about some minor things that happened during the trip. We reached an agreement on the most things.
