Traveling with friends can be a blast. Sometimes, even before you book tickets/hotels,it can also be a pain. The group has to get together, decide on location, dates, duration of trip, where to stay,and more. I believe the more work you put into your trip before travel, the more fun and relaxing the trip will be!

Currently I’m in the midst of planning a group trip with some friends overseas – which adds a bit more difficulty to this group travel planning process. They live in Europe and I’m in Ohio, so it’s not like we can all sit down over coffee to hammer out the details in one go. But, thanks to modern technology there’s group chat, video messages, and other ways to overcome the time differences.

We know where we want to visit; Rome.
