Traveling with Friends (and Staying Friends)

Traveling with Friends (and Staying Friends)

The flights are booked. The group chat is buzzing. You’ve planned your big trip abroad with friends—congrats! But here comes the next challenge: actually traveling together without ruining the friendship.

Let’s be real: spending every day (and night) with the same people can be magical… or maddening. You’ll make incredible memories, eat weird snacks, get lost in beautiful places—and maybe want to strangle someone over something as small as shower time.


Quick Tip: Don’t All Do Everything, All the Time

You don’t have to do every activity as a pack. Give each other space. Want to nap while someone else explores a museum? Totally fine. Taking breaks from each other = taking care of each other.

We made a free downloadable guide to help you travel together and stay friends:
🧳 “Tips for Traveling with Friends (and Staying Friends)”

Inside, you’ll find:

  • What to do when someone busts the budget
  • Why a “maybe” list works better than a “must-do” list
  • The surprisingly big deal behind sleep and shower habits
  • How to keep things fair, fun, and low-drama on the road

Because no one wants to come home with a great tan and a broken friendship.
