Travel With Others Without Wishing They’d Stayed Home

Have you ever traveled with someone and thought to yourself, if I had only known?

You probably paid little attention to the different categories of personality traits that describe most travelers such as: enthusiast, adventurer, sportsman, relaxer, beach bum, comfort seeker, culturist, shopper and discoverer.

Author Nadine Nardi Davidson has authored a very unique book entitled, Travel With Others Without Wishing They’d Stayed Home that will help you identify the different types of travelers. According to the author, once you become aware of these different traits, you will be better equipped to minimize anxieties and maximize the enjoyment of each travel experience when traveling with others. However, not only must we identify the diversity of personality traits, we must also consider the various individuals and different situations we may encounter.

Traveling alone with your spouse is far different than traveling together with your kids. How about traveling with your boss? When do you say no, or what about sexual harassment? Your boyfriend or lover has invited you to come along on a weekend excursion. Who pays what, and will there be reservations for one or two bedrooms? What are the advantages and disadvantages about traveling with friends? Have you discussed your different budgets, the length of stay, accommodations, dinning, shared activities and who drives?

Although many of these questions may seem obvious, you will be surprised at the number of people who completely ignore to ask them and blindly accept to travel with their friends. As Davidson indicates in her book, “good friends don’t always make good travel companions.”

Davidson succeeds in writing ten very well structured chapters in a language that is uniformly clear and reader friendly. Many of the issues that emerge may be pure common sense, however, unfortunately, many of us need someone or something to remind us of them. As the author concludes, “blending together ideas and activities to satisfy your needs and someone else’s needs can be the greatest boon of all. Then you’ll have the power to create a memorable travel experience not only for yourself but for your companions.”
