Road trips are much more fun when you have someone by your side to keep you company, but traveling with friends is a double-edged sword. If you want to avoid drama and enjoy your trip to the fullest, here are three common mistakes you should avoid at all costs.
Driving Arrangements
Don’t let all the driving responsibilities fall on one person if there are several people with a driver’s license in your group. By sharing driving responsibilities, you’ll make sure you’re all enjoying the trip in equal measure and you’ll be properly rested once you reach the destination.
Packing Duties
It’s an absolute nightmare to realize you’ve forgotten to bring something important in the middle of your trip and this problem is even more common when you’re traveling with a group of people. Make a list of everything you’re supposed to bring, divide the responsibilities, and check if everyone brought what they were supposed to before hitting the road.
Money Talk
When you’re road tripping with friends, you’re sharing everything from your vehicle, food, and accommodation—and you should share expenses, as well. It’s important to have the “money talk” to avoid resentment because this issue could potentially ruin your future plans to travel together.
