The disadvantage of travelling with adventurous people

This post is the result of one of my recent treks.


What do I mean by adventurous people in the title?

people who have no fear of trying out new things at a different place.

people who want to create something great out of each moment.

When you are on a trek, these are the people who are always ready to explore more.

They are always willing to try out the new food at the place.

Travelling with these kind of co-travellers sounds great, right?

But there is a downside of travelling with them.

You can not enjoy your travel with normal(read non-adventurous or 'playing-safe') people after that.

Yup, that's a disadvantage ;) .

Normal people have a fixed domain/comfort zone of their own, and it's very rare and difficult for them to come out of that. Most importantly, there are some who try to even impose this on you.

When you travel with them, you have to first provide them a well made plan for the trip. They can't come on a trip where they don't know each and every step of the trip, as they have to do a lot of planning for it. Then, you have to make sure that you can't take any route on the trip which is out of the comfort zone of any person. They can not risk themselves for your small trip.

When you suggest something new on the trip which was not planned, you are highly judged by these people. They back up their reasoning with that they are more experienced than you and you better not make decisions on your own. You should not waste their valuable time.
So, the point is, you are not

So, next time when you plan to go for some adventure with enthusiastic people, keep in mind the disadvantage of it ;)
