Travelling with friendsTravelling with friends can be amazing. Who better to travel with than the people you laugh with, cry with and pull with?It can also be really hard work. You know those little foibles that make your best mate who she is? Her control-freakishness? Her tendency to sing tunelessly to pass the time? They’re gonna drive you insane by the time you reach Heathrow. Just make sure you talk about what you each want to gain from your gap year before you make any kind of pact. If you have totally different attitudes, don’t risk your friendship by agreeing to travel together. Once you’re on the road, don’t expect to do everything together: a bit of space is important. Arrange excursions with other people, or chill-out days on your own. ![]() Click here >> to read Sarah's story of travelling with her friends Got no-one to go with?
