My ultimate travel companion(s) would be you & Megan. You know ALL the great places to go and would take awesome photos of our trip.

Myself. Just me, no kids, no partner, not another living soul. I’d be happy just travelling to the toilet alone!

16 Jun, 2011

My huskie. She wouldn’t annoy me, she’d attacked a crowd so I could mingle with people and keep those away that I don’t like.

Hameed

My ultimate travel companion would have to be my underwear. It’s really awkward and uncomfortable meeting new people and sightseeing without underwear, isn’t it?

Irene Newson

19 Jun, 2011

If I could find someone, I would more than likely take him, not necessarily ‘tall, dark and handsome’, just company.

Lynn

21 Jun, 2011

My younger sister because after you have shared a bedroom for your childhood you can travel anywhere together wih no problems!

Nick

22 Jun, 2011

A writer of a Lonely Planet guide so they could show me the places to go and how to jam the best bits in!

Jarrod

22 Jun, 2011

I would bring a demon who devours crying babies, people with sniffling noses and other annoying people for long plane flights.

Linda

22 Jun, 2011

My PC tablet! No whinging, no complaining, great source of entertainment, hook up to WiFi anywhere and I’ll find out exactly where to go.

Anita T

22 Jun, 2011

My four year old daughter. With our ‘notebook’ the experience shared is growth, awe for mum of daughter’s technology abilities, her opinion and travelling ‘together’.

Aaron

22 Jun, 2011

Christopher Columbus. We would venture to India but instead will probably get lost and then discover the last unexplored place on Earth by accident.

Astrid

22 Jun, 2011

My ultimate travel companion is definately my mum. We have been through a lot since I was about 5 years old when my dad died but she recently took me overseas on a life changing journey and I learnt a lot more about her. I would love to do it again.

Katie

22 Jun, 2011

My beautiful boyfriend Nick would be my travel companion. I would love to propose to him overseas. One day!

A Bullock

Rick and Jan

23 Jun, 2011

Tracey

23 Jun, 2011

My husband is my must-have travel accessory! Porter, masseur, banker, Navman, photographer, bed-warmer, alarm clock, and even personal shopper! I’d be lost without him!

stephen

ED POOLE

The Dalai Lama. He’s a fountain of knowledge and has a great sense of humor. What more could you want on a trip.

Marie

24 Jun, 2011

My 3 year old son because he is way more tech savvy than me so could work his way around our HP Pavillion dm1 notebook!

Linda Hynson

24 Jun, 2011

Alex Durward

24 Jun, 2011

I’d go with the TARDIS from Dr Who. Travel anywhere, anytime with your accomodation paid for!

zach

24 Jun, 2011

My friend erin because she’s been everywhere and could show me all the fun spots to go

Gemma Paton

25 Jun, 2011

A HP Pavilion dm1 Notebook, so i wouldn’t have to pick just one person, but the whole world in one innovative compact laptop.

chris

25 Jun, 2011

My mum because she is dearest to me. She works very hard and definitely would deserve a holiday!

Peter

25 Jun, 2011

My ultimate travel companion would have to be Kevin Rudd. I would have travelled multiple times around the world, seen heaps of places, know about his time as a premier.. then hear his real side of the story about being dumbed as the No 1 man… and how he then still manages to hang around and hold up his face for his country.. all while he really wouldn’t need to work at all… what drives him to get all these experiences..?

Alex F

26 Jun, 2011

Mr Packard, first name Hewlett. Well known to, well… know everything!

Felix

26 Jun, 2011

My sense of adventure. Isn’t the whole point of travelling to explore the unknown?

Matt

27 Jun, 2011

Wilson from ‘Cast Away’. Being a good listener is an essential quality in a travelling companion.

Fay Whitelaw

27 Jun, 2011

Camera. It doesnt loose its passport like my friends. It doesnt hog the bed like my husband. And it captures the experiences forever!

Marjory

28 Jun, 2011

My brand new husband, who bravely explores places way off the beaten track and so shares and introduces me to wonderful adventures and experiences!

linda eaton

28 Jun, 2011

Pippa Middleton cos she’s the hottest thing on two legs right now and could open a lot of doors on an overseas adventure!

Jeannine Barrett

28 Jun, 2011

My dog Ben, who’s always excited to go anywhere, never complains and loves me to death.

JENNIFER

28 Jun, 2011

My Ultimate Travel Companion would be Pippa Middleton, it’s said she likes to party & being with her would certainly open doors I should imagine!

Annie

28 Jun, 2011

My little brother – he has worked hard at school and I would love to treat him to a break! (And have someone to help me carry stuff! =p)

jonathan barratt

28 Jun, 2011

Kevin Rudd, yes, him because he travels so much and to so many different places in the world.

Maybel

28 Jun, 2011

Alysa

28 Jun, 2011

My fishing rod! Provides for me when i am hungry, never lets me down or complains and provides hours of fun and enjoyment.

Christy Collins

28 Jun, 2011

My camera: always up for an adventure, cool and calm in a crisis and with a much better memory than me!

James B

28 Jun, 2011

My sister would be a great travel companion. But I’d like the laptop for my Mum, because she needs one.

28 Jun, 2011

A credit card with $1 million on it. Money always comes in handy if you want to hire a car to get somewhere quick or pay for a decent hotel if the other options don’t make the grade and if you’re travelling in South America..well.

Sharon Markwell

28 Jun, 2011

I would take a doctor as my companion as I always seem to get sick when I travel. An apple a day is not working.

Brett Marsland

28 Jun, 2011

My severely adrenalin craving alter ego. If I can just manage to survive ONE holiday with him, imagine the stories I could tell…

Wendy Hatton

28 Jun, 2011

My sister- she’s a lot of fun, together we always find a way around any road block & something to laugh at in a situation.

Wayne Martin

29 Jun, 2011

Brian

29 Jun, 2011

I’m taking my TomTom GPS as it has saved me so much time in the past quickly telling me when I have mucked up and got me back on tack, saved heaps in fuel and time and more accurate than my wife of 35 years who is a great back up and fun company for explorations…..

Eric Fiso

29 Jun, 2011

My best friend, because I will always have someone to look for me

kerry santillo

29 Jun, 2011

Mel lee

29 Jun, 2011

I would travel around the world with Steve Parish! because i love photography, and he could teach me a lot about it and we would have lots of fun! We would capture the unique landscapes and people of different countries, experiencing different cultures and just enjoying capturing the special moments we experience so that others can experience it through our photos!

Lee Balfour-Smith

29 Jun, 2011

My ultimate travel companion would be my camera. A trip may only last a few days/weeks, but the photo memories will last a lifetime.

Kaya

29 Jun, 2011

I’d choose Robosaurus, “The 40-foot, fire-breathing, car-crushing robot that transforms into a semi-trailer”.

For practical reasons, of course.

29 Jun, 2011

HP Pavilion dm1 notebook and a multilingual translating app that works both ways so I can type in what I want to say and it verbalises it in the chosen language or someone can speak a foreign language and the app provides a translation in English. Like magic! When I was in Paris, no-one could understand the little french I could speak because my accent was so broad!

Shaun

29 Jun, 2011

My beautiful finace Zoe. Who better travel with than someone you are going to spend the rest of your life with.

Kevin

29 Jun, 2011

My wallet, always there for me in times of need and in times of want, especially on my travels.

David Attenborough. The travel video would be awesome. “Here’s the rare Adam, at the airport”.
