Travel alone or with a companion? Do you prefer to travel alone or with a companion? I definitely prefer to travel with a companion. first anf foremost, traveling with a friend is more secure than alone. the main reason is because a person is less vulnerable with someone next. According with police reports the probability of being mugged is approximately 20% higher for people who use to walk alone. For instance, I have never been mugged when I walk with a friend, a family member or my coworkers, even at night, unlike when I walk alone, even in the day. That is the reason why I would rather to be accompanied. Second, tickets are cheaper for people who travel with someone else. Many travel agencies offer very often sales for two or more persons. if I were to travel alone, I would surely pay the complete price. For example, when I travel with my family on vacation, we always get a discount on our tickets while when I travel alone I must pay all the price. As a result, I travel with someone else every time I have the chance.
