How to blend different travel styles
I was thinking about the trips we have taken either as a couple or with other friends and even family. Each individual may have their own preferences on how they want the vacation to go. So how do you accomplish this and do the best to make sure everyone has the best time or at least are still speaking by the end of the trip?
First ask key questions in a discussion in pre-planning of the trip.
Start with dates and budget for a target.
Type of experience one location to relax and chill or a more daring adventure, maybe multiple locations, foodie or not that important. Historical or curtural, killer accomodations a must?
Do you have specific destination or theme in mind? Any special occasions?
Discuss must do and hard no’s then go to would like to do. Find out about mobility issues, dietary concerns.
Have your travel partners, ie other couples do the same. Suggest a get together to see where you agree and disagree. Make notes. Write down areas where compromise is possible.
I recommend you seek out a trusted travel advisor to then take this information and come up good, better , best options working best around the budget.
Having a professional as your advocate that you don’t have to pay and will work very hard to create a trip that will work and give each person something during the adventure that appeals to their travel style. Your personal travel curator can let you know the additional perks amenities that you may not get on your own booking online. Once you decide, don’t wait, get it booked. Prices and availability changes quickly. After the accomdations are set, your advisor can help you with the details to pepper in, to make it a dream you will talk about for years to come. Then relax and think about the great memories you will create.
