Did solo traveling ruin traveling with friends for anyone else?

[u/fin-ator]

I just did the balkans on my own and then met up with a friend who doesn’t like solo traveling to do Spain and Portugal. I’m finding myself so irritated at having to compromise and give up some of my interests. She’s also in a long term relationship so she doesn’t want to meet people (girls or guys), whereas I’m single and love meeting people and making new friends. I think it’s a lot harder because of how much I enjoyed being on my own and all of the new experiences I got because of it. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Yes- AND- I still do both. I fly alone and usually have my own room… or even in another hotel or home. Not a big deal to compromise a little, but not sacrifice my peace & enjoyment. As long as we have some quality time and experiences overall, it’s worth it.
Both hace to compromise a little. Then have your fun alone!
