Besides Jesus? :) Best travel mate doesn’t sweat over small stuff, is confident and relaxed but determined (enough that we would get there eventually). Someone who is happy to drive but let’s me drive too. Someone who’s ready to pull over on non-stopping lane of a motorway, when the scenery is just impossible to pass by without stopping to take a photograph. Someone who is happy to help carrying my luggage without making a number of it and appreciates my attempt to find us perfect spot for lunch. Someone who is safe enough to lean on when you can’t find good position to sleep in the plane. Someone who understands that cockroaches in the shower are evil enemy that we must fight against with united front. Someone who is happy to come kill spiders in the middle of the night even if I’d be perfectly capable of killing them myself. Someone who is ready to take down the car roof down somewhere along the highway and sing out loud and let the wind blow our hair crazy. Someone who knows that I’m often late but never when it would really be wrong and is fine with it.

Best travel-mate?

And someone who can see through walls and has urges to administer back-rubs.
Great hair would be nice, too.
I'm not looking for a lover here-- I just think it'd be nice to look at great hair while I'm travelling around.
Great hair would be very essential. :) All phogenic features are oisitive. And no i'm not being shallow not sarcastic ;)
Life is a journey so it is very important who we travel with. And dreaming is like salt, little pinch on your meal makes it better, too much makes it impossible to eat.
Travel safe.
I think the backrub thing is essential. And I love this post. I'd never thought about what would make the perfect travel mate, but those are definitely a great start.
A best friend, a best travel companion, a lover. Ideally, they all are found in the same person. Made me think of "Wanted: Best Friend
Prospective candidates will:
Make me feel good about being me.
Affirm my best qualities (especially when I am feeling insecure)
Call out the best in me, and hold me accountable to the best version of myself.
Listen without judging or trying to fix me.
Give me the benefit of the doubt.
Extend grace to me when I am grumpy or having a bad day.
Remember my birthday, favorite foods, music, and art.
Know my story and love me regardless.
Spend time with me, just because they enjoy my company.
Speak well of me when I am not present.
Serve me with a joyful spirit and without complaining.
Speak the truth to me when no one else will.
Never shame me, diminish me, or make me feel small.
Become excited about what I am excited about.
Celebrate my wins!"
