When planning a trip some place nice, we want to share the experience with somebody. Sometimes we don't, I agree. But most of the time we travel to find something new, to feel different emotions, to get away - the list is long.
First, we decide where to go and why go there. After the destination is chosen we want to at least have some plans figured out. Like, how much money can we spend, who will take care of our dog, who we want to meet, what we want to see, etc. If the budget is unlimited it makes planning easier but it does not promise you exciting unpredictable journey.
Let's take my case as an example: I like to travel light and cheap, and inconveniences don't bother me that much. Usually those inconveniences make the best stories and memories. I started using travbuddy.com. It's a free website, where you create your profile and communicate to other travelers. You can make friends with people from different countries, who will be willing to show you around, give you advice and even let you sleep on their couch (if you are lucky, and depending on a culture). At the same time, if you don't have an opportunity to travel, you may be the one showing around your area. Rediscovering your own town and getting to know people from other states or countries is so exciting and educational. It costs you as much time as you decide to spend. It is a priceless experience and I am being literal, it has no price.
