I like to make my intentions known up front.
🗣 Before you travel with people, please ask them what type of travel person they are. Hopefully they will be honest. The more I travel in groups, the more I realize that having COMPATIBLE travel buddies makes a HUGE difference on how the trip will go.
And no, it’s not about money AT ALL!! For example:
Some ppl like to sleep in till 12NOON and skip activities, meanwhile you are up at 8AM and ready to go explore. Does it make sense to travel with them? No!
Some ppl are picky eaters and would rather stick to foods they know but you rather eat exactly like the locals. Does it make sense to travel with them? Not necessarily.
Some ppl would rather stay in contact with everyone back home at every hour on the hour but you rather completely shut that part out and built memories uninterrupted. Does it make sense to travel with them? Probably Not.
Some ppl like to go with the flow for the entire trip but you rather plan everything to a T! Does it make sense to travel with them? No!
These differences and many others in between might seem trivial but TRUST ME on trips, they create friction both loud and silent. The ppl you travel with should check off on 80% of the type of things you are in to. Find your travel match and see how much more enjoyable traveling with others get.
