Let’s be real—traveling abroad is neither an easy nor inexpensive process. And it’s not the sort of thing you can decide on the fly, especially when you’re new to visiting foreign countries. However, introducing yourself to different cultures is a great experience, and it’s an even greater one when shared with close family and friends. If you have your eyes set on a foreign destination and want to see it through this holiday season, here are some tips to get you started and ultimately help you convince your potential travel buddies to go on the trip with you.

Do your due diligence
First things first: Do your due diligence. This means doing research for your dream trip way ahead of time. Look into what kinds of activities you can do, the cities you want to visit, the modes of transportation you can take, and how they match up with your and your travel buddies’ preferences. You should also consider how long each activity will take and plan out the itinerary ahead of time. This way, your trip can be realistic and you can get the most bang for your buck!

Speaking of money, it’s important to plan out the base costs. Don’t let yourself get blindsided by the true cost of your trip. Read through online reviews, travel guides, and more to understand what your overall spendings could look like at the end of your vacation. Think about how stressful it would be to spend more than you can!
Find ways to save money
Finally, be smart! If you and your family are new to traveling, part of what could be holding you back is the cost. Even if you do your due diligence and plan the budget ahead of time, it doesn’t mean that you should stop there as there are ways to make the family trip less pricey. For example, one way you could convince your family to go on this trip with you is by splitting the costs between you and your parents. This way, you can put your new, hard-earned salary to good use and treat the people who have been supporting you throughout your life.
