How to enjoy traveling with more people

I’ve traveled with friends who call the shots before – it can be a bit nerve wracking. If it’s someone you know well, make it a point to voice when you’d rather skip out on the group plan for the day. Just because you travel together doesn’t mean you have to spend 24hr/day together. It helps to remember the perks involved with group travel too – being able to split costs & save some money and the fact that you’ll be making memories with people. You can’t do that alone. Still, a lot of it is about trying to be accepting of others’ travel styles.

Key in such situations is to “live and let live”. I think it is normal to require some personal time. Some need it more then others and sometimes even an individual needs a lot of personal time one day, only to fully enjoy the group the other day.

Instead of you making the focal point by expressing the need for personal time, just state that everybody needs personal time and try to allow that for everybody. Some won’t need it but you would be surprised how many think alike.

Just go with the flow – make sure you (and your wife) are self sufficient, so if a plan someone else is managing goes wrong, you now you two can still have fun. This can take a lot of the worry out of organised events.

Alternatively, just work to a couple of meeting points through the day, say lunch and dinner, and do your own thing until then, just meeting up with them for meals (or for anything that does sound interesting)

A lot of people do like to thoroughly plan holidays, but I sympathise with you – in general I like to have a couple of key targets I want to see, but around that I like to get up and have a think about it after breakfast and just see what happens.

For me holiday=relaxation, not following a schedule, so I just work around others plans.
