Before embarking on a trip with a companion, you must screen your travel partner for certain traits in order to ensure your trip is fun-filled.

If you are a morning person, don't invite someone who is, as they would expect you to do the same and it may lead to constant bickering, News.com.au reported.

According to Travelzoo.com.au, you must be sensitive to cultural differences when you travel, and make sure whoever accompanies you is, as well.

Traveling often means spending money, so travel with someone who has the same views on spending as you do, as this often determines the accommodation you stay in and the experiences you have on the trip.

As a travel buddy can make or break your holiday, make sure you travel with someone who is as excited about the trip as you are.

Travel with someone who is spontaneous and you will be sure to enjoy experiences you never would have dreamed of.

Also, make sure you travel with someone who is as adventurous as you are as you may feel pressured otherwise.
