What are the types of people you won’t travel with ?

here is my list.

  1. People who complain that English isn’t spoken in a country that is obviously not an English speaking country
  2. The type of person who is easily irritable. Someone who complains about small things such as train or flight delays, No air conditionings, noise, Pollution from cars whatever. Someone who you easily get into bickerings with.
  3. The party animal. The type who wanna go to clubs and party and get stupid drunk.
  4. The type who wants to sleep in. If you wanna sleep in, you shouldn’t travel. Stay home.
  5. The all inclusive resort people. If someone suggests a trip and I hear the word Cancun, Montego Bay, punta Cana, Cayman Islands, st Martin, I am blocking them. All inclusive resorts are dystopian and people who stay at all inclusive resort are just as dystopian.
  6. Someone who is strapped for cash. If you can barely afford to pay rent, you should not travel.
  7. The type who refuse to use alternative modes of transport. I don’t mind flying but when I travel from one European country to another, I refuse to fly. I strictly use trains or even coach buses.
  8. The type who use travel agents to plan trips.
9 the type of traveller who always wanna take selfies.

People who are likely to be arrested at airport as they make 'jokes' with border staff....

People who treat local workers like their personal slaves...

People who 'shout louder in English' as they can't be arsed to learn any language other than English...

We've done lots of independent travel... We're just back from a rare agent booked holiday.... It was a full 270£ cheaper than booking it independently...

I don't like peoole who are sniffy about others' holiday choices... 😆

I want the name of the travel agent!

Well, as mentioned in the original quote, Trailfinders

I wouldn't want to travel with you @joseline

Although I agree with:

  • People who complain that English isn’t spoken in a country that is obviously not an English speaking country
  • The party animal. The type who wanna go to clubs and party and get stupid drunk.
  • The all inclusive resort people. If someone suggests a trip and I hear the word Cancun, Montego Bay, punta Cana, Cayman Islands, st Martin, I am blocking them. All inclusive resorts are dystopian and people who stay at all inclusive resort are just as dystopian.
  • The type who refuse to use alternative modes of transport. I don’t mind flying but when I travel from one European country to another, I refuse to fly. I strictly use trains or even coach buses.

But I totally want to lie in, have long lazy breakfasts, lunches and dinners. I want to loll around and rest. I want to read my book in peace and quiet. I want to watch other cultures but not take part.

I lead an exhausting life, day to day. For me, holidays are to rest. You do you, but you'd be a nightmare companion.

Well I am number 4 on your list so rules us ever having a holiday together. Shame.

For me alpha types are really the only people I could not travel with which judging by your list, might be you.

People who are snobby about other people’s holidays
