December 17 – Lesson Learned. What was the best thing you learned about yourself this past year? And how will you apply that lesson going forward?

Carefully consider your travel partner.

I said this before, but the company determines all your experiences.

When traveling, it’s important to consider the person you’ll travel with. They must share your same energy levels, same expectations, same comfort levels, and openness to new things. And most importantly, when everyone is lost, you are going to work together.

My roommate last year said that he learned whether a relationship would last based on how well he traveled with them. It’s true. Like how you learn a lot about someone in an hour of play, you learn an lifetime about someone from a day of travel.
