    Destination: Travel With Your Couple Friends
    Jun 6 2024
    Travel With Your Couple Friends Tips for returning home with your friendship in tack Have you thought about travel with your couple friends? It is a great way to extend your time together and add some additional fun too. However, there are steps and tips to make sure when you return home, you're still friends and buddies. Each way of travel, solo, with partner or with couples, has its own dynamics, pros and cons. While vacations are meant to be an escape from your everyday life, it can be enhanced with others or going it alone. Also, there could be more challenges than your bargained for just when the fun is getting started. I decided to dig into all the ups and downs of traveling with another couple. There is more positive than negative, so let's share that from the start. First question is: Why travel with another couple. First of all the old saying, the more the merrier; well that can apply to traveling with another couple. First of all they should be your friends. And, friends that you’ve spent time with, enjoy their company and have always wanted to venture out and see the world together. Traveling with them takes the fun you have at home to fun on the road. When you travel with your couple friends there are some benefits to traveling with those outside your immediate family. 1. Sharing the cost - that bucket list destination can be more budget friendly when sharing the cost. For many of us, when we are traveling with your family, you may pay for everyone in your family, for food, activities, accommodations and travel. It can be expensive. When you’re traveling with friends, you are paying for yourself and maybe your spouse. Renting a house with your friends is less expensive than booking two hotel room and you’re sharing the cost of food too. Add car rental to that and another big expense has been cut in half. Doc Bill and I have travel with a couple and share a short term rental home. It worked out great and it was so fun to all be together for fun actives in the evening and enjoying coffee to start our day. 2. You don’t have to be the grown up or the decision maker for everything Traveling with your kids adults or young… you will get that feeling… you know the one you get down in your gut to make sure everyone is ok and all is going well. It’s that parent sense of responsibility, it’s just there and even if you’re not conscious of it…. It’s there. Their safety and well-being has been and will always be your focus. Travel with your couple friends can mean bonding like you can't at home. 3. Bonding and connecting unlike your time at home You share similar likes and interest and you’ve lived similar experiences. That’s what makes you great friends. Now’s the time to explore those similiaries on the road. Doing the things you love together in a different space and place. You’re going to create awesome memories and have fun talking about your time together for years to come. 4. Strengthen your relationship While traveling can bringing out things about people you may find hard to understand or appreciate, getting to know your friend on another level is sure to strengthen relationships that already important in your life. Even if there are some ups and downs while traveling together, there’s no better way to get to. Know someone than traveling together. 5. You get to know yourself a little better too. Travel is a great way to learn more about yourself. Traveling with another couple let’s you see more about how you handle and connect with others. It takes you a little outside of your comfort zone. When traveling with others, there is compromise and collaborating… things that you may not have to do when traveling with your partner or a best friend who travels with you often. And, for solo travelers, there can be a big jump from traveling alone to bringing along a buddy. I have a dear friend who travels with me often.
