In order to keep the vibe fun and stress-free, good group travel etiquette is essential.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Traveling with a group of friends, classmates, or total strangers can be one of the most rewarding ways to see the world. From shared adventures to spontaneous group laughs, AESU tours are all about creating unforgettable memories together. In order to keep the vibe fun and stress-free, good group travel etiquette is essential. Before you leave on your next AESU adventure, brush up on a few dos and don\u2019ts to be the type of traveler<\/a> everyone wants on their journey. Read on to learn more!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Do: Be Punctual<\/h2>\n

Group travel<\/a> depends on schedules, especially when exploring various cities in a short time. Whether it is meeting for a guided tour in Florence or catching a coach to Amsterdam, being on time shows respect for your tour guides and your fellow travelers. Consider setting multiple alarms if you have to. You don\u2019t want to be the person everyone is waiting for.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t: Hog Up the Spotlight<\/h2>\n

Everyone is there to enjoy the trip, so don\u2019t try to dominate conversations or activities. Whether it is taking extra time to take photos or always picking the restaurant, share the spotlight, and be open to other people\u2019s preferences. A good balance will keep group energy high and fun.<\/p>\n

Do: Pack Smart and Light<\/h2>\n

During an AESU tour, you will usually be on the move. You\u2019ll be on trains, buses, and walking on cobblestone streets. Pack only what you need and leave space for your souvenirs. Being the tourist wrestling with an oversized suitcase could slow down the group and cause tension.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t: Ignore Cultural Norms<\/h2>\n

You are traveling to explore the different cultures of the world, so make sure you respect them. Dress appropriately for places like ancient ruins and cathedrals, and keep your voice down in quiet spaces. A little bit of research will go a long way, but your tour guide is there to give helpful tips along the way!<\/p>\n

Do: Be Flexible<\/h2>\n

Travel plans could always shift. This includes weather changes, train delays, and spontaneous opportunities that could arise. AESU guides are professionals at adapting on the fly to make sure you\u2019re experiencing<\/a> the best trip as possible, so roll with any changes and trust the process. Flexibility is the real key to enjoying the unexpected joys of travel.<\/p>\n
