travelling with france – a delicate topic…. I have made great experiences with it . I travelled through Brasil, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay, Thailand and Lao with a friend I know from my studies…. and it was unbelievably cool! We almost never argued and it is now – where we are back home – great to have someone to share all my memories with ! Our next trip starts in 4 weeks – we two will travel through Cuba!!

Nicki, I’ve heard of many a friend returning home not on speaking terms! I’m lucky that’s never happened to me – this year was the first time I’d ever traveled with anyone but myself (4 months with my fiance and 2 weeks with a couple of friends) and everything went pretty well. A few ups and downs sure, but on the whole I still have my friends and a go-ahead wedding this year!

OMG- I travelling with my bestie for 4 months in the USA when I was 21- needless to say we didn’t talk to each other for 2 years after this experience!
We had very different expectations and budgets. She had twice as much money as I did, and wanted to stay & do more luxurious things, and when her money & credit card maxed out about 2 weeks before we were supposed to go home (and I still had my well- budgeted saving to last the rest of the trip). This made her so furious! I will never forget walking aournd Disneyland arguing about whether it was worthwhile to get a photo with Goofy, or if it was a a waste of time to listen to Ariel read a story to us. Disney was not very magical!
I will never forget boozy nights coming back to our hotel with her already in our hotel room with a local San Diegan, or Las Vegan, or New Yorker, or Arizonian disgracing the sheets.

I ended up travelling mostly alone in the years to follow and only more recently I have been select with my travelling buddies, and the length of the vacation. Much happier times. I have learnt my best travelling companion is myself, closely followed by my sisters, who don;t really give a crap if I’m in a filthy mood in the morning- they’re used to it!

Ha, Alms – this I agree with! I spent 4 months going round the world with my fiance and the poor guy was driven to the brink of exhaustion with too many ‘lets get up and watch the sunrise’ requests when all he wanted to do was relax!

I think it’s important to spend some time away from your friends. It’s kind of weird and unnatural to spend 24 hours a day with anyone so of course you’re going to get over hanging out with people… any people… even your favourite people!

Travel with a friend who likes to sleep as much as you do
