A visit to a far-off location can be an even cooler experience when you share it with a bro, or with a circle of bros. Even so, there can be some pitfalls. In this post, you can find some useful advice for how to travel with one or more bros and not cause any permanent rifts between you.
Before you go:
- Make sure everyone has a similar budget and interests.
- Do a first pass on the itinerary. The idea is to make sure that every bro has the chance to see or do what is most important to him.
- Think about the option of a group-oriented trip, like a cruise or an organized tour. These trips give you enough flexibility to spend time separately or together.
While exploring:
- Be flexible and ready to compromise with your travel companions. Travel is never “all about you.”
- Don’t overcrowd the bedrooms. One dude might be a light sleeper while another dude snores like a chainsaw.
- If you’ll be wandering around for a while before the next meal, bring snacks. It’s easy to get pissed off about nothing when you haven’t had enough to eat.
- On road trips or at airport terminals, try playing some travel games. Or at least have them ready.
- If different bros want to do different things, it’s okay to split up.
- Be sure everyone gets enough sleep. You don’t want to miss out on something because you’re too tired. If you’re up late one night, don’t plan anything early the next day.
- Most importantly, take care of your bro(s). Travel can be stressful, so if one of your buds seems stressed, talk to him and do what you can to cheer him up.
Have fun, bros!
