[quote=Anonymous]Echo above. Cost/payments splitting are important, especially if you’re looking to share a house or room. Also itinerary— what do they want to do? What do you want to do?

Do not go on a trip with people that you feel you cannot be upfront with. What I mean by this is, if you need your own room (and I do, now that I’m older!), don’t let yourself get talked into a sharing half of a bed with someone. Or if you need to keep to a certain budget, you need to communicate that— and have it respected.

I travel a lot with friends and the only bad trips I’ve had are when I felt too insecure to say something or if I felt that someone was domineering the trip. I had one trip where one person was very clearly trying to get out of paying for things and we all ended up working around them/paying for them, as they were kind of a difficult person— but they were also difficult here in the U.S. That was an aggravating situation.

Maybe that’s my other piece of advice— make sure you really like the people you’re traveling with, or have the ability to break off and do your own thing if not! [/quote]
