Perhaps the question would be "who does Bilbo accompany on a trip." Bilbo travels with Gandalf the wizard and thirteen dwarves: Thorin Oakenshield (their leader), Dwalin, Balin, Gloin, Oin, Dori, Ori, Nori, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Fili, and Kili. This not including ponies.

∙ 2015-07-14 20:04:28Answers like this are always difficult to give when you consider what we know about Gandalf not only from the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, but also from the Silmarillion. While it is doubtful that Gandalf would have known where choosing Bilbo would lead not only the group, but the entire world, it can be argued that he may have suspected that important things were destined for that little Hobbit. Gandalf had powers that we cannot completely understand so, while it may seem random that he chose Bilbo for the trip, he may have had his reasons all along.
We know Bilbo, the hobbit, was well guided and well guarded on his way home because Gandalf, the wizard, accompanied Bilbo all the way home to his hobbit-hole, while Beorn, the shape-shifter, accompanied him just until they approached his house in Mirkwood. Also because Beorn gives very good advice about Mirkwood.
The Ring was stolen, and while they had all suffered for the trip into the goblin caves, only Bilbo came out without any trouble. In addition, it was a magic Ring that begins working on its keeper at once - the possessor would not want anyone to know about it that might take it from him. It may have been the influence of the One Ring on his mind already.
In addition to the cost of the trip, they offered to pay for Bilbo's funeral expenses.
After Bilbo had made his first trip into the dragon's lair Smaug became aware of the intrusion because he noticed a cup missing. His rage was compared to what is seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy lose something they have never before used or wanted.
He had borrowed several handkerchiefs from Elrond. He had complained of having left home without any of them. Bilbo left him 'such small gifts as he would accept' when they stopped on the return trip.
They take weapons, Gandalf and Thorin get their elven made swards and Bilbo finds his sword Sting. They also take the gold and silver the trolls had stolen and buried it, later on the return trip Bilbo and Gandalf retrieve it.
