I guess everyone would like to set off for a journey with someone we can understand and have fun with. TRAVELLING WITH A COMPANION (同伴)
IS GREAT!
It's good to have someone with you who can watch your backpack when you want to use the toilet, find the way back home when you get lost, carry some of your luggage (行李) when you're tired, take some photos of you when you want and help you in all kinds of situations. The feeling of having someone by your side makes you feel less stressful about many things.
With a companion, you can together share the beautiful moments during the travels, experience the same things in a different way and support each other. It's much more interesting and exciting when you have the chance to share something with someone while on your road. At the same time, there is always someone whom you can shout at when you are angry, or a shoulder on which you can cry when you miss your home.
A companion can share the costs with you. You can stay in one room, buy a dinner, have it together and share the bill, etc. It's good to travel with someone who has the same or similar pattern of payment as you so you can support each other without having any arguments (争吵).
Having a companion by your side when travelling means less loneliness. You don't think about it unless you get left in the middle of nowhere, far away from your friends and family. Then you wish to have someone with you.
In short, travelling with someone is the best choice for people who are short of travel experience or just social animals and easily miss their home. We might sometimes feel like being on our own and enjoy the sights with nobody behind our back but at the end of the day you have much more fun when being with someone, especially for a long run.
