Were You Stuck Footing the Bill on a Group Trip? Tell Us About It.

Traveling with a group of your closest friends can be a dream come true. But it can also cause unforeseen friction, particularly over finances.

Differing price sensitivities and travel priorities can complicate the planning process. Then there’s the challenge of pricing couples versus singles, people who join late or stay longer, or charges in multiple currencies.

After the itinerary has been set, the flights booked and the trip has officially left the group chat, it’s time to settle the bill. Are you the one pestering your friends to pay up? Or are you left scratching your head when an unexpectedly hefty request hits your Venmo account? We want to hear how finances affected your group trip.

We will read all submissions. We may reach out to you about your story. We will not publish any part of your response without contacting you first.
