5 Things to Remember While Travelling to Foreign Countries with Friends
Travelling is fun. But, how about travelling with friends? Doesn’t it make the experience even more thrilling? Since I’ve done a countless number of foreign and local trips solo and sometimes with friends, I know how much fun it can be. But, through my experiences I’ve learned how things work out even while going with friends. Some bitter experiences taught me how tiny-tinny mistakes can ruin the fun of whole epic adventure. So, in this article I’ve penned down the things to remember while travelling anywhere with friends.
- Planning things out
Plan on the basis of majority. Since foreign tour often consisted a group of friends, I used to make sure to plan everything before the traveling even begin. Often with a large number of groups conflicts arises at some point. So, it’s better to plan things out before the travelling. It always helped me in my case.
- Don’t engage in group activities every time
Just because I’m travelling with a bunch of friends doesn’t make it relevant that I’ve to engage in every activity only if it’s a group activity. Sometimes, I’ve traveled with groups when they engaged in different activities. So, it’s fine to engage in different activities with one’s preference.
- Think before go
There are times when I prefer going with a bunch of friends and there are times when I want to travel solo. It completely depends on the destination and off course my mood. But, deciding is important before traveling otherwise it can ruin the experience.
- Focusing too much on money
While going out with friends, sometimes the only cause of arguments become money. Unless someone is skimming, there is no need to focus on money. But, first of all I choose my group very carefully to avoid these things. After having years of travelling experiences, I’ve learned the hard ways.
- Communicate
In any case communication is the only key. In my whole experience, without communicating nothing ever solved. Even massive issues with friends have solved just with communicating with each other. So, communication is the only key to solve any problem. So I never let things to fester. Rather I sort things out.
For me talaat captan, travelling is one of my favorite activities. In my years of travelling experience, travelling in foreign countries made me learn countless number of things.
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
