Does your travel companion know? Accommodation in the same room with a stranger for the extremely unassuming. Are you interested in how to share? Or not kill each other?

Whether you can share your vacation with a stranger depends on your character. Somehow I was offered a female sharing on a city break, 2 nights. The woman was old and snored, and snored heavily, besides, she constantly stuck to me, as if I had gone to Budapest to keep her company. This autumn I went to Romania, one night in a hotel and again with female accommodation (I would not agree to a male one :) ). Quite tolerably, it did not interfere, at the same time I saved on a single. For a long time .. seven nights, for example, I would not even agree with my girlfriend, I always take a single at sea. And I am my own mistress, I wake up early, I don’t bother anyone, nobody bothers me, I don’t wait for anyone, I go around the room even naked after a shower, I relax as I want.

such a vacation is such a thing. for example, one smokes and the other doesn’t, and that’s it, you definitely don’t get along, maybe a smoker doesn’t understand a non-smoker, and vice versa (I can’t stand the smell at all). One gulbasit and tumbles into the room in the morning waking up the second, the same bathroom .... one is like a duck-water everywhere, the second is more careful, one scatters his things around, and the second is infuriating. Oh, such a thing ...... you need to think 100 times.

Someone snores, someone smells bad, someone bites their nails with pleasure, someone whines ... you can continue indefinitely.
You can take a chance if your nerves are strong.

At the very least, I advise you to have an *interview* with this fellow traveler (tsei), I would even say tough. If you decide to do so. Fellow traveler, if anything, at the end of the trip (or maybe earlier) you can tell where to go. But if you go with a friend, but not very smart, you can butt in no less, but then you have to quarrel. And the range of intensity of passions can go far beyond the desired

I traveled with fellow travelers 3 times. 2 experiences are positive, but one is so-so. People are different. You need to be prepared for different situations. And the most difficult was the trip with my sister, whom I love very much. Not with strangers, but with relatives. Probably the same experience is important and it is necessary to immediately outline the boundaries.

I have experience traveling with fellow travelers. What makes everyone think that it is necessary to live in one room? Living conditions are negotiated with a fellow traveler in advance, many basically live only in separate rooms. They are looking for a fellow traveler not for the sake of economy, but for the sake of company in countries where none of the relatives and friends wants to fly (such as Lebanon and Argentina).
Everything is written about the interview correctly, you should always meet in person or at least via Skype (if from different cities) and decide whether this person is suitable for you or not. Your disadvantages as a companion also need to be recognized and honestly told. On the shore, agree on a budget, a route, an approximate daily routine, etc., but at the same time it is important that both (well, or more, it happens) understand that no one is a slave to anyone and, in which case, is already in place you can split up for half a day or a day if interests suddenly diverged.
And I agree that a trip with a family can be a much greater test than with a fellow traveler.

Everyone describes the fellow traveler so horribly - snores / farts / bites his nails / smokes like a steam locomotive, etc., you might think you are all perfect.
We do not know which author, maybe she will strain a fellow traveler.
The author, I once went, there is nothing wrong with that. Initially, I was looking for a fellow traveler of interest, then at the meeting we discussed all the points, agreed on the rules of conduct in the room and flew. Everything went off without a hitch. The main thing is to discuss everything at once and initially look for a suitable travel companion. Have a good rest!

vedrogvozdey, well, ideality is such a thing ... something will be ideal for someone, and someone will be ready to feed a fellow traveler for it.
I also have people with whom I have been in close contact for a long time. But to go with them to rest - for no price.
There were 2 trips not entirely with strangers, but I can’t say that close friends either. We have known each other for more than 10 years, but at the level of * hello how are you *. Discussed all the *exciting* moments and drove off. And yet, most are looking for a companion to save money. Even here, in the fellow travelers section, you can see that many people are pushing that staying in one room

so no one claims that everything will be terrible, but personally I'd rather go to the single alone (I understand that it's more about saving) because I have a lot of moments that I can't stand. But there are people who absolutely normally turn a blind eye to many things. At the expense of discussing ahead of time .... well, this is also the case .... they seem to have discussed it, but on the spot a person behaves as he sees fit and no one and nothing is his decree (alas, but these are our realities). If it's all about saving, then you need to look at the options. For example, I picked up a tour to Spain for the whole family (2 + 2 (children 7 and 13 years old) and take dad with us. I twisted the options and it turned out that the tour for dad (those single occupancy in a separate room is only 50 euros more expensive than the option for two , but in general, the bundle - we have a family room + a separate room for dad came out cheaper by 200 euros than rooms 2 + 1 (7 years old) and 1 + 1 (13 years old, but already as an adult). Those here who are looking for something.If the option to reduce the cost, this is one side, or for joint trips, this is another.

Elenka08, to be absolutely precise, the majority are looking for fellow travelers for sex (including for money) or further romantic relationships. In second place is savings. And on the third place are those very adequate fellow travelers who just want company. These third parties must be sought and chosen.
The TurPravda forum is not the most valid sample, it is difficult to draw general conclusions about fellow travelers from it. Firstly, there is mostly only Ukraine, and secondly, a fair share of ads are not about vacations, but about fellow travelers to earn money. And thirdly, TurPravda does not position itself as a service of fellow travelers and does not come up in search queries. I believe that this audience mainly went to read reviews about Egyptian-Turkish hotels, and only then found the forum section, in short, a very narrow segment of the "market" of fellow travelers.

Elenka08, yes, yes, she herself was shocked, what proportion of such fellow travelers. And okay, if they honestly write about it right away, then for some reason some of them are first encrypted as normal fellow travelers from the third category and waste their own and other people's time.
moy_contakt, yes, even if everything was discussed "ashore", there is always a small risk of running into surprises. Therefore, you always need to have a plan B and be prepared for the fact that you will spend the rest of your vacation alone. But in my experience, this risk is minimal.

Yes, some kind of vulgarity wafted. I, too, have half a fellow traveler to the light bulb. And quantity. It's scary to think to which category of undecided you would classify me.
The main thing is that the interests on vacation coincide, and gender is secondary. With one fellow traveler we have been friends for three years.

In terms of staying with an unfamiliar fellow traveler in the same room, it was only when traveling around Europe, and was limited only to spending the night after a busy day, when it was stressful to shower and sleep - after all, a "left person". And in the case of a beach holiday - only a single, even if we fly with a large company and there is an option to slightly reduce the price, well, it’s a stump, here with friends or relatives living in the same room on the seventh day, I’m ready to “beat”, but what about a stranger to talk about.

I read and marvel at how it is possible, while relaxing on vacation with friends / relatives in the same room, to want to "nail" them in a few days ??? Maybe you need to somehow treat people easier, accept their shortcomings, judging by the messages, you yourself are still snobs, well, or then drink a sedative. Although, now I understand when you read in reviews from really good hotels that everything is wrong, even to the point that the water in the sea was very salty or the thread was pulled out on a towel.
People, you yourself are not disgusted by yourself, are you serious?

I would also understand your call to etm, who goes on business trips or students in a hostel, where this is inevitable. But on vacation, where people want to get the maximum buzz and relaxation, they have to *accept someone's flaws* .... Seriously???

Elena, my indignation related to those who go on vacation with relatives and want to kill them.
At the expense of comfort, if a person is looking for a fellow traveler, then it is logical that he wants to save money or it’s dumb / boring to go on his own, then all the more the question is why the other person should, for your savings, also arrange relaxation with a buzz for you (not for you personally))). Is it logical?
Who wants to relax, buzz and run naked around the room, in principle, is not looking for fellow travelers.
PS. at the expense of snobs, then once again I am convinced that there are plenty of them on turpravda.

How nice. Usually, it is not those who are ready to put up with the shortcomings of others who are so indignant, but the one who wants to be put up with his shortcomings. Well, and features of education, of course. We have a lot of people for whom the collective farm and the lack of personal space are buzzing.

vedrogvozdey, the second person is not driven there with a stick. He goes if it is also profitable or interesting for him. The other person should NOT be the first to get high and relax. He should be (preferably) chosen so that this buzz of relaxation will be created without his intentional participation. If, for example, I sleep in complete darkness and silence, and someone with light and under TV, then I will not demand to create these conditions for me, but I will look for someone, and not necessarily someone else's, but I will ask my own who sleeps in the same conditions. I will demand to create a buzz for me if this feast is for my money.

Elenka08, I quote - And a colleague who took a tenant for herself not because of money, but because it's boring to live alone (crazy smile), and what's wrong with that ??? Thank God that you don't know what loneliness is. And don’t judge others (your crazy smile, I’m talking about this), life can turn so that you yourself, going crazy with loneliness, will ride in transport to at least chat with someone.
The collective farm and everything else is a personal matter for everyone, as for me it is sometimes better to relax among the collective farm than among the stiff intelligentsia, the collective farm can be very funny.
