Someone to share with. When you're traveling with other people, there's always someone else around to share in your good times. For many people this is the best part of traveling - there's always someone to do things with, laugh with, share stories with, and make memories with. Need someone to take your picture in front of a monument? Or someone to help you translate something into a foreign language? Or maybe you're directionally challenged and need someone to prevent you from getting lost in a strange place. These are just some of the reasons traveling with friends is a bonus.
