I've instructed and been instructed by friends and strangers. I don't know if it's just me, but I want to lay a plan out of every maneuver / navigation exercise to be done in a solo lesson - its part of being a professional flight instructor. Also, flight tracking software is great for the cross country trips.
The time for fun, and sightseeing is after they get their PVT. That should be the reward for them. If you let them do it with their student certificate, then where's the motivation for them to actually do the checkride?
I'd also not allow students to take up their girlfirends, wives etc...again, its a distraction that should be left until after they've learned the complex art and science of flight.
