Traveling with friends can be an amazing experience—full of fun, bonding, and unforgettable memories! But let’s be real... it can also get tricky if you don’t plan wisely. Here are some top tips to ensure your trip goes smoothly!

1. Choose Your Travel Crew Wisely
Not all friends make great travel companions! Pick people with similar interests, travel styles, and budgets to avoid major conflicts.

2. Plan Together & Set Expectations
Before booking anything, have an open conversation about:
✔️ Destination & itinerary preferences
✔️ Budget
✔️ Sleeping arrangements
✔️ Must-do activities

3. Be Clear About Money
Money can be a huge stressor! Use apps like Splitwise or Venmo to track shared expenses, and agree on how meals, transportation, and accommodations will be split.

4. Balance Group Time & Solo Time
You don’t have to do everything together! Give each other space to explore different interests—this keeps everyone happy and avoids burnout.

5. Consider Everyone’s Comfort in Lodging
Some people love hotels, others prefer Airbnbs. Think about personal space, bathrooms, and sleep schedules before booking!

6. Plan Transportation Ahead
Decide how you’ll get around—will you rent a car, use public transit, or rely on Ubers? Nothing’s worse than last-minute confusion in a new city!

7. Be Flexible & Compromise
Things won’t always go according to plan, and that’s okay! A little flexibility goes a long way in keeping the trip fun and drama-free.

8. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate!
Check in with each other, be honest about needs, and don’t let small annoyances build up.

9. Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
You’re traveling with your friends, not competitors. If plans change or little things go wrong, laugh it off and enjoy the adventure!

🚨 Packing Mistakes to Avoid on Your Next Adventure! 🎒

As a well-established over-packer (I need my choices!), I know a thing or two about what not to forget and how to avoid those extra baggage fees. Packing smart can make your next trip much less stressful.

Here are a few common packing mistakes you’ll want to avoid:

1️⃣ Ignoring Weather Forecasts:
The weather is wild no matter where you roam. It's always a good idea to plan to wear layers and have something to protect you from the rain.
2️⃣ Skipping a Packing List:
Save winging it for the plane. It’s how you forget essentials like chargers, medication, or your favorite travel pillow. Make a list, check it twice.

3️⃣ Not Considering Luggage Limits:
Overweight bags = hefty fees. Weigh your luggage with a handy dandy luggage scale. They're just an "add to cart" away.

4️⃣ Packing Liquid Hazards:
Shampoo explosion? No thanks. Always double-bag liquids or invest in travel-size containers.

5️⃣ Forgetting Travel Essentials in Your Carry-On:
Your ID, tickets, medications, and a change of clothes? Keep them handy in your carry-on—just in case your checked bag takes a detour.

6️⃣ Overlooking Your Footwear:
Uncomfy shoes = cranky traveler. Bring broken-in, multi-purpose shoes and pack them in shower caps to keep your clothes clean. 👟👞

Travel is meant to be fun, not stressful. Avoid these pitfalls, and you’ll be on your way to smooth sailing (or flying).

What’s your biggest packing mistake? Share below—let’s learn from each other! 👇
