So there's that thread asking how and why solo travellers travel alone, but I'm more interested as to how people find other people to travel with them.
Do people have friends who'd be willing to go backpacking with them? Because I certainly don't; I guess most people are too scared to leave their comfort zone.
How do you do it /trv/?
Also, doesn't it get annoying? The only time I've travelled with someone else we ended up arguing about pretty much everything.

I always liked traveling with my buddies. Some times its nice to have someone around to talk to. Also, when hiking/camping, it's nice to have someone to share the load with.
Haven't done much since my early twenties, but basically I used to travel with my best friends that I grew up with. Guess maybe I just got lucky enough to have one friend that loved to backpack and camp, one that preferred more conventional travel, and one that was a giant pussy, but I could still convince to go new places.
It never got annoying for me, but that's probably because I was traveling with dudes I had known for 10+ years of my life. We knew how to deal with each other, when to give each other space, when to shut up, etc. I find it strange that people don't understand that traveling with someone doesn't mean you have to be with them 24 hours a day.
I hate it. I'm supposed to go to Europe next week with my friend who decided to tag along once he heard that I was going and now I have to act as a tour guide.
