Traveling with emotional friends
I love to travel and puzzle my way through a foreign country. I like to learn (some of the) language and figure out where to stay, how public transport works and how to find my way to the highlights and also the hidden gems. If I get lost, I don't panic and mostly I find my way to the hotel or the place I want to go. I see this as an interesting puzzle to solve and most of the time I meet nice local people, who are willing to help with information. But more often when I travel with a (female) friend, they freak out when they are in an unsure situation, and it costs me tons of energy to calm them down, so we can figure things out and get where we were heading to. When I travel all by myself I don't have these 'events' and it is easier to find my way. Who would like to share some of their experiences?
