Trying to gather tips on travelling well with other people

Good conversation already going — wanted to add a few thoughts. Over enough journeys to notice patterns, the unhurried version almost always beats the packed one. What strikes me consistently is how the days you remember are rarely the ones you planned hardest. Matching pace with whoever you travel with prevents most friction. Most people discover this the hard way. Those new to travelling with others should start smaller than feels right — timing changes everything. Glad to find other thoughtful people here.
