Traveling is a favorite recreation of many people. It enables us not only to accumulate knowledge about history, culture, geology and local traditions, but also to edify our mind and spirits. Some people like to travel alone, but others prefer traveling with friends. I agree with the latter one.

Since there is often a long way to go, many travelers feel tired and dull during the trip. Exchange of thoughts and ideas can reduce fatigue in traveling. Long journeys sometimes put travelers in low spirits. After the journey, you have to stay alone in the hotel enduring your physical tiredness. Friends can reinvigorate your energy for further traveling. Also, you can share your feelings and happiness with your friends during the trips.

An important aspect of traveling in group is that in case an emergency takes place, your friends would give you a hand immediately. Your friend can carry your bag, prepare your food, and share your loneliness. You will forget your pains. Maybe you can resume your traveling soon.

Of course, traveling alone has its own merits. You can change your destination at any time; you can stay in one place as long as you like; you can learn to be independent and make new friends; you can learn to deal with problems by yourself. But I still like to travel with friends, because I think that the most important thing during travel is to get pleasure and recreation, and to learn. With friends, you can get all these things easily.
