It’s that time of year again, after the new year, when we’re all itching for travel. To go solo requires courage and no small amount of luck, Grandma prefers traveling with friends. These five travel pals are the most unmissable.

Type 1: The Planner

If you’re the one to bring up travel plans, you’re most likely to become the main planner. When they begin to ask you about the budget, don’t answer just yet!

Grandma’s tip: Divide and Conquer.

A Planner’s Job

1.Figure out the date (give two options for most efficient results)

2.Organise a self-guided tour (carefree, chill, but also meaningful)

3.Transportation

4.Accommodations that fit your budget (recommended Sozhou hotels)

5.Set up a group chat

6.Check flight prices before deciding on a budget

Type 2: The Ticket Pro

Finding the cheapest tickets are their life’s goal, their browsers are always on Trip.com and skyscanner.

They can get a 6,500 NTD deal for a roundtrip ticket from Songshan to Pudong (I usually buy it for double the price).

But even the best Ticket Pros can have bad days, and this is when your travel pals must exercise graciousness.

Type 3: The Housing Pro

You save online booking coupons for this very chance.

When booking, make sure to check for bed arrangements, window view and breakfast availability.



 The Accountant

The one who manages the mutual funds (ex: meals, tickets, transportation etc.)

This person must keep track of all expenses, just place your trust in them!

Type 5: The “I’m OK With It”

The one everyone aspires to be! Just be chill, even with the most sudden of plan changes, and you’ll be everyone’s favourite travel companion.

Don’t forget grandma’s top tip: Divide and Conquer!

If all your friends want to be the fifth kind of travel pal, don’t be afraid to be assign duties to your companions.

I’ve been very lucky to have successful trips like this each time!
