Finding the right travel partner can be challenging. After all, you don’t want to be having drama with someone when you’re navigating unfamiliar streets and alleys.
So Lauren, the woman behind the lifestyle blog Gigs ‘n’ Travel, decided to share her insights on what makes a good companion for her.
In a recent TikTok video, she laid out her list of “no’s”—the behaviors and traits she simply cannot tolerate in someone joining her on an adventure.
Her candid approach resonated with many, sparking a lively conversation in the comments on personal boundaries, planning, and, of course, the purpose of exploring new places altogether.

A study conducted by the Hilton’s Curio Collection shows that curiosity is the number one trait people look for in their traveling companions.
Of those surveyed, 73 percent said traveling is their go-to outlet to express curiosity, and 90 percent said they travel to learn something new.
Among other findings, we can see that 65 percent of respondents consider their spouse or significant other the best travel partner, while 25 percent said they’d rather travel alone.
Also, the group of travelers who seem to be most “curious culturalists” are Millennial women.
Inspired by Lauren’s insights, other people chimed in with their own priorities
