  • Choose wisely: To have a conflict-free trip choose to travel with those friends whose style matches with yours. It is better to have similar interest, taste, desires, dietary preferences and the same level of physical fitness while travelling together. Same travel style also means opting for the same type of accommodation and transportation. It is also important to know everyone's expectations from the trip and the reason why they wish to travel? If all your choices meet then it is advisable to travel together.

  • Budget: Money is the major cause of conflict in friendship as friendship and money don't mix. It is highly recommended to travel with friends whose budget matches with yours. Instead of splitting the bills it is better to make a public fund in which each friend contributes a certain fixed amount and all expenses can be met from that fund. While travelling, maintain an expenses app to keep a track of expenses. Set the budget for everything like food, transportation, accommodation entertainment, etc to avoid conflicts.

  • Keep some alone time: Travelling with friends does not mean you have to be together throughout the day. Everybody needs some personal space to do their things like chatting with their family, listening to music, relaxing or doing certain activities which other members are not interested in. After being together for long hours a few breaks from the group are very necessary.

  • Compromise: Compromise is the key to avoid conflicts. Be flexible, mindful and patient. You may have to wait for a few extra minutes for your friend or at times leave your comfort zone for your friend to maintain a good relationship. There are certain matters where there is a difference of opinion, tackle these moments carefully with respect and avoid conflicts and arguments. Accept the lifestyle and preferences of your other friends without judging them.

  • Communicate and resolve: Communication gap often leads to misunderstanding and conflicts. It is better to communicate things that bother you when there is no tension. If there is an issue, deal with it respectfully to stop it from making worst. Be honest and communicate openly with kindness and think about others' need and mood. Give the correct opinion when any decision is to be made instead of remaining quiet.

  • Appoint travel agent: Travel agents are skilled in organising itineraries which meet the expectation of different people in a group. Also, you will be free from doing researches and planning about the trip and in case of any emergencies travel agents deal with it very spontaneously which will make all the members of the group stress-free. Agents also help in availing group discounts and special values on the activities which you are interested to do.

  • Give yourself: Being with friends and sharing your experience and memories with them will bring you closer to them. Avoid sparing more time on social media or your cell phone. Instead, mingle with your friends and spend quality time with them. Participate in all decision making.

  • Be considerate: Consideration and paying attention to others mood, energy level, choices and preferences is very important while travelling in a group. First set the goals, choose the spots to be visited, decide how much time is required for each visit, etc so all the friends will have a clear picture of the trip. By setting clear goals each member can be more considerate towards others.

  • Avoid making decisions when hungry or stressed: People often become cranky or lose their temper when they are hungry or stressed. Things may not always work out as per your plan. There are chances of flight delay or missing a train or losing your luggage, etc. Be patient and remain calm in all the situations. Do not involve in any kind of conversation when things are not working well as it may lead to an argument.

Be open-minded and easy-going while travelling with friends. If you are exhausted or tired let your friends carry on and you stay back and relax. Reunite with your group once you are refreshed and use these tips to have a happy journey!
