Some people like to travel with a companion. Other people prefer to travel alone. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
These days tourism is bigger than ever, and everyone has their own favourite tour style. Personally, I think it is a really great idea to travel with a partner. I feel
this
way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.
First of all, going on a trip with a companion is more economical than vacationing alone. Linking Words
As a result
of leisure excursions becoming more and more popular, hotel operators have raised their prices to astronomical levels. Discounts for solo travellers are fairly uncommon nowadays, so sharing a room with a friend is an effective way to cut costs. Not only that, but people travelling in pairs have better access to package deals on tours, entrance fees and other activities. My own experience is compelling evidence of Linking Words
this
. When my girlfriend and I travelled together through Peru Linking Words
last
year, we were able to rent an entire hotel room for less than the cost of two separate beds in a shared dorm. Over the course of our month-long expedition, we saved several hundred dollars in Linking Words
this
way. Because we saved so much money, we were able to change our plans and extend our trek for almost an entire week. Had we not taken the tour together, we would not have been able to do that.

Moreover
, it is much easier to talk to local people when travelling in a pair, and Linking Words
this
makes the expedition much more rewarding. Linking Words
While
a lone stranger can be seen as intimidating, a travelling couple is often considered more approachable. Linking Words
For instance
, when my girlfriend and I took the trip to South America that I mentioned above, we were often welcomed into people’s homes and businesses with open arms. The individuals who invited us often pointed out that they were willing to do so because we looked so happy, friendly and cheerful spending time together. Linking Words
In contrast
, when I visited Bolivia by myself the previous year, I wanted to make the same kinds of connections, but it was almost impossible to achieve my goal. It is true that a solitary traveller may actually be quite kind and outgoing, Linking Words
Linking Words
this
can be somewhat difficult to determine from a distance.
In conclusion, I definitely prefer to travel with a companion rather than alone. Correct word choice
but this
This
is because there are significant financial benefits of doing in Linking Words
this
manner and because travelling with a partner makes it easy to interact with strangers.Linking Words
