I'm hoping to fill up my travel schedule with beach trips and outdoor adventures. The first step in the planning process, for me anyway, is finding a friend who is down to go. I've traveled with most of my best pals before and each experience is little bit different. It got me wondering, "Which zodiac sign makes the best travel buddy?"

The best travel companions for Aries are Pisces, Sagittarius, and Aquarius. The AstroTwins fondly refer to this sign as the "restless Ram," because Aries are known for their adventurous spirit. They like to be in charge of the itinerary and often load it up with tons of activities like an early morning boat trip following by a visit to a pop-up market with handcrafted goods.
Pisceans are usually pretty easy going, making them an ideal companion to abide by an Aries' strict travel plans. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you've got Sagittarians and Aquarians. Both of these zodiac signs are fairly independent and won't mind doing their own thing for while and meeting up with Aries later on.
