I think those are the two main categories need to be considered for traveling. We will soon be going to Milan for the Expo, and after that is the first independent study trip, which many people are already planning it. However, during the planning process many questions started to show up. Would you stay in a cheaper place in exchange with a longer transportation time to the destination? Or you'd rather book a place that is convenient for transportation, but cost a little more extra? Would you mind traveling to certain places even though you don't like your companions? And would you tag along someone's trip even though you don't really want to go to certain locations?
The constant struggles between time & money / location & people happen very often during the planning especially we are all college students with different background. I personally value time more than money. I think if you can use money to buy time in any form, it's a good deal since time is the most valuable thing in the Universe. I'd prefer to get to the destination quicker with reasonable extra cost. I had experience before that I stayed at a cheap place far away from the site, and ended up losing one day just trying to figure out my way to the site. For location & people it gets tricky. I think different companions are suitable for different locations depends on their personalities and also your objectives for the trip. Keep in mind if you put too much attention on the people, you will miss out the location, and vice versa. "There are three constants in life --- change, choice, and principles"- Stephen Covey
