Opting for a guided tour might disrupt your splendid vacation. Therefore, plan for an independent travel adventure and choose your travel buddy wisely from now on. Here are 10 suitable types of companions for your journey. However, be cautious, as even seemingly 'compatible' individuals can be a source of annoyance!
1. Food Enthusiast

No need for much explanation. A guy or girl who appreciates good food will lead you to the best restaurants and cafes, favored by the locals. They'll provide you with necessary advice and guidance to explore local cuisine.
2. 'Super Planner'
He will direct in the most detailed manner, even listing in text form every activity you will do throughout the journey down to the minute. He'll give you a list of interesting places to visit, things to experience, and you just have to follow along. Your trip will have no wasted moments. However, sometimes the unplanned can be interesting.
3. Photographer Extraordinaire

It doesn't have to be a professional photographer with a film camera and long lenses; all you need is someone with a regular digital camera. They'll help you capture memorable moments throughout the journey with inspiring photos.
4. Language Aficionado
Never without a common local language handbook and a keen interest in those languages, this guy will make an effort to converse with the locals. However, be careful not to turn your trip into a language class.
5. Clever Organizer
He'll pack half the necessary clothes for the entire trip and use a face wash basin for laundry. Don't even think about borrowing some shower gel or toothpaste from this guy, as he's the type who won't carry things that hotels provide. That's his minimalistic philosophy. The best part of traveling with these individuals is if you shop too much, you can hitch a ride on their baggage allowance surplus.
6. Unique Adventurer

Looking for a quaint coffee shop? I bet this guy has already jotted down a few in his notebook. Want to discover hidden alleys leading to some secret speakeasies with great Happy Hour deals? Surely, he has a map of those alleys stored on his mobile device. Traveling with such a unique adventurer, you'll experience things few have ever known.
7. A True Bargain Hunter

Skip the glitzy shopping centers; follow these true bargain hunters to local markets or outdoor stores. With their unparalleled bargaining skills, you'll get items at the lowest possible prices. They've probably scoured forums for every bit of information on souvenirs, food, travel, restaurants, hotels, etc. With them, you'll save quite a bit during your journey. Of course, sometimes, cheap isn't always good.
8. The Easygoing Eater

He has a truly adventurous palate. It's great to have this guy with you; you can order any dish you want to try from the menu without worrying about finishing it. He'll devour it in an instant. The difference between him and food enthusiasts is that he doesn't care where, when, or what you eat because he'll definitely finish it all.
9. Enthusiastic and Devoted Companion
He'll encourage you to do things you've never had the courage to do before, but you'll feel joy after accomplishing them. It could be skydiving, trying exotic food, or dancing in public. He dispels hesitations to let you experience the journey to the fullest.
10. The Explorer

This individual never gets lost, and they can remember every alley, location, even after just passing through once. Traveling with them, you'll always find your way back to the hotel or to the shops without wasting time.
