Wanderlust at 35+

In this episode, we’re shifting gears from solo travel to explore the unique dynamics of traveling with friends or non-partner family members. While solo travel allows for ultimate freedom, group trips bring their own set of joys—and challenges. Join me as I share personal stories and practical tips from years of experience in traveling with friends, family members, and even groups. We’ll dive into essential pre-trip conversations, such as aligning on budgets, setting trip expectations, and establishing roles and responsibilities. I’ll also cover ways to manage those inevitable moments when personalities clash or unexpected surprises arise.

Tune in for actionable advice on handling these tricky situations while keeping relationships intact. Whether you’re planning a friend getaway or a family adventure, this episode will give you strategies to make sure everyone has a memorable experience for all the right reasons. Get ready to set yourself up for a smoother, happier journey—and learn the secret phrase that can help you and your travel buddies communicate openly when tensions run high.
