This week, Travel Talk on Twitter hauls in a large assortment of wing men and women to talk all and sundry on the subject of travel chums…as well as sharing campfire tales regarding a few less than desirable sidekicks.

Q2. If you could choose ANYONE as a travel buddy who would it be and why?
Q3. What’s the greatest benefit a travel buddy has brought to your travels?
Q4. What are your Top 5 “must have” attributes in a travel buddy?
Q5. Describe a time when you wished you’d had a travel buddy?
The ‘Why So Siri-ous’ Shout Out for phoning it in.
@SwannySA: [Favourite travel buddy] My iPhone. Siri makes for entertaining conversation when solo.
The ‘Bros Before Sanyos’ Shout Out for seeing the Sony side of life.
@wetfootprints: My camera never answers back, it never steals my beer & we both have the same taste in memories we see.
The ‘Rush Hour’ Shout Out for acting up.
@tnttravelshow: My dream travel companion would be Jack Bauer – he seems to always be able to get a flight at a moment’s notice.
The ‘Let There Be Bud Light’ Shout Out for Absolut miracles.
@BeInspired2Go: [Greatest benefit of a travel buddy] To be my guardian angel when one has had too many drinkies…
The ‘Not From Round These Ramparts Are You’ Shout Out because it’s the fort that counts.
@Travelerrohan: I do a lot of photography of old forts. My travel partner usually ensures I don’t tumble off the ramparts while clicking photos.
The ‘Edge of Gory’ Shout Out before things turn nasty.
@ooharradventure: I was on a bus the other day and some dreadlocked tourists attempted a Lady Gaga number on bongos – not amused.
The ‘Tear Open The Presents’ Shout Out for getting a real roasting.
@JennySerwylo: Somehow #ttot has turned into Xmas dinner where grandma says “So are you seeing anyone?” and I say “No.” then cry into mashed potatoes.
The ‘Jitterbug’ Shout Out for spotting a familiar trend.
@RTWExpert: Haha, wriggling around like a ladybird – we’ve all been there!
The ‘Gouda Sight, Gouda Mind’ Shout Out for having edam good time.
@RambleAndWander: [Travel buddies are good] Whenever I started to feel cheesy about a place. Either to share the feeling and experience or to slap me back into reality.
The ‘Snog, Maori, Avoid’ Shout Out for going it alone.
@Em30b430: I went to the theatre by myself in Wellington on Valentine’s Day and felt very brave!

Once upon a time in New Zealand, a very large, very loud, hissing cockroach landed on Hannah’s head. In Florida, she mistook a jellyfish for a plastic bag and was promptly stung. In Newquay, a penguin with murderous intent tried to eat her shoe. Despite all this, Hannah can’t be kept away from touching things that she probably shouldn’t in foreign countries. This is probably a misguided attempt at experiential learning. She has lived in Cornwall most of her life and is still trying to adjust to the time difference in London, despite having moved there many months ago. When she grows up she wants to be a Mexican Luchador.Subscribe
