Is it better to travel with good friends or alone?

If you have a good friend who you get along with very well, and she has similar interests and hobbies to you, I suggest you travel with her, it will be a very happy trip.

In October 2012, my good friend and best friend Xiaoyu and I went to Lijiang, Yunnan. We both left our children and husband behind, took 5 days off, and played for 9 days. She started from Changsha and I started from Shenzhen. Then we met in Kunming and headed straight to Lijiang. I booked all the air tickets and accommodation in advance.

After a good sleep, we spent three days and three nights shopping, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., all the stores were closed, and we reluctantly left. What I remember vividly is that we bought a bunch of scarves and sent them home to all our relatives and friends, just like picking them up for free. The scarf is still there, but I rarely wear it anymore, but when I was shopping, the happy feeling was still in my heart.

After our shopping spree, we signed up for a two-day local tour to Lugu Lake. We arranged all the itineraries very casually. We took a rest when we were tired and searched for delicious food when we were hungry. Completely relax my body and mind, I really like the feeling of traveling.

At the end of November 2020, she said she wanted to go to Tengchong to see ginkgo trees. I said: "Okay!" She immediately checked the guide online. This time she took care of all the work: booking air tickets, food and accommodation, and itinerary arrangements. wait. I was busy completing the homework for the writing class, playing with her during the day, and working overtime at night to catch up. She did everything silently without disturbing me and wiped my white shoes clean with a disinfectant wipe. I finally couldn't help it and wanted to cry. How could you be so nice to me? No matter how many years have passed, when we meet again, we can still retain this sincere friendship and be grateful for our meeting.

If you have a good friend like this, please don’t hesitate to ask her out.
