Schedule Virtual Hang Outs Like Games or Movie Nights
Virtual hang-outs are a lovely way to do a fun activity together, even when you’re thousands of miles apart. In our post-pandemic world, it couldn’t be easier to host watch parties, virtual game nights, and more!
Update Your World Clock & Weather App
This is a simple one but it’s super helpful. Add the location of wherever your friend is based to the world clock and weather app on your phone. This way, you can imagine what it’s like where they are and feel more connected.

]]>Similar Schedules
The tricky thing about planning a summer vacation is that most people do it when they get days off work. That basically means you can only travel with people who have a flexible schedule or can take their vacation days at the same time as you, so that’s exactly what you should do.
Similar Budget
It’s extremely important that you and your potential travel buddy are on the same page in terms of money. Be honest about the amount of money you have at your disposal for the upcoming summer vacation, so you could plan a trip that fits into both of your budgets, especially when it comes to bigger expenses, such as accommodation and transportation.
Similar Interests
Planning any type of vacation with a person who doesn’t have similar interests and a similar traveling style can be a grueling task. Be very open with your travel buddy when talking about places and experiences you want to explore during your summer vacation to check if you’re on the same page.

]]>Friends Who Are Always Late
You need reliable people by your side during your travels, not friends who are always late and constantly canceling your plans. Traveling can be relaxing, but you’ll often have to get up early and be very time-conscious if you want to see everything that a new city has in store.
Friends Who Aren’t Responsible with Money
Money will play an important role in the way your trip will shape up, and that’s why it’s always a good idea to travel with friends in a similar financial state. If they’re too cheap, you’ll end up missing some experiences, while the ones who are too irresponsible with their money will have you going over the budget.
Friends Who Aren’t Self-Sufficient
You should travel with your friends because it’s fun, not because they’re not capable of making plans on their own. You’ll also need to take breaks from each other every once in a while and that’s much easier to do if you’re traveling with self-sufficient people.
