Birthday Vacation to Cancun Mexico with Tips to Travelling with Friends

Hi Friends! At the start of the year I decided to travel abroad to enjoy my winter birthday in a sunny and warm destination. Of course the location that I decided to visit was Cancun Mexico! It’s not the first time that I’ve been to this location and it defiantly won’t be the last. For this trip I decided to go with one of my close friends for a 5 day all-inclusive resort vacation.

It was the best decision ever! As someone who has experience travelling solo. It is also fun travelling the world with friends. Especially with friends who have a similar personality and characteristics as you as it makes for a seamless trip. Travelling with friends is a great way to share adventures, of course laughter, new experiences and unforgettable memories. From my experience there are a few things to consider when deciding to travel with a friend or friend groups. The goal is to make sure that everyone has an enjoyable experience. Check out my tips below!

1. Identify expectations before the trip. Before your trip, have a discussion with your friends about what everyone wants to do and see. This will help to create an itinerary that works for everyone and avoids any potential issues.
2. Discuss budgets. Money can be a sensitive topic for some. It’s important to have an open and honest conversation with all about the budget when planning for the trip. A budget that everyone is comfortable with should be set. That’s why its important to have some sort of itinerary developed so everyone has an idea, and is in agreement for how much money they will spend.
3. Give each other privacy, and space. Spending all day, every day with your friends can be tiring for some. It’s important to be mindful of not only your space, but also whoever you are travelling with. If able, include time in your itinerary for some personal quiet time.
4. Be flexible. Not everything goes to plan. It’s important to be open-minded, compromise, and communicate openly and clearly with one another kindly (in order to reduce any issues or negative confrontations). Even with the best planning, things can go wrong on a trip. Be flexible and go with the flow if something unexpected happens.
5. Have fun! Travelling is a privileged experience; it’s also a wonderful opportunity to create new memories with friends. Enjoy the adventures and new experiences. Have fun with this special time!
