Travelling Companions

I went home after leaving fellowship early with a friend. We took the greyhound together and we had an interesting conversation. The beauty of two people travelling together is that you get to catch up or learn more about the other person. You're stuck together for however long the trip takes, and there is nothing better to do (other than sleep). I like to take these opportunities to build friendships with people and then these long travels won't be so lonely or boring anymore. Once you find someone else who has the same destination as you and you travel together the trip doesn't seem like a waste of time anymore, a three hour ride becomes too short, and when you part you leave with a good feeling (if the conversation goes well).

This is why I like travelling with other people. Sometimes I enjoy my alone time, but when there is an opportunity to travel with someone else, I try to take it. Investing in people is something that takes time, and effort. Travelling with someone else helps to accomplish two things at once - building relationships, and getting to your destination.
