It definitely sounds like traveling with your family would lessen your stress levels @FootyFan26! It's great that you can recognise that.

Great tips @Georgie :) I also found writing in a travel journal a nice way to finish each day - but I know that's not for everyone!

Last question: How do you look after your physical and mental wellbeing whilst travelling?
Physical: make sure you get enough sleep, make sure you're eating nutritious foods (not just waffles and icecream!), make sure you're drinking lots of safe water
Mental: check in with yourself every once in a while, practice self care (ie reading, meditation, listening to music - whatever works for you), have a day off if you need to, let the people you are travelling with know if you are struggling, call/skype home :)

I spend SO much money on food! But I don't regret it :) I do regret spending money on crappy touristy items that I can never resist at the time!

I think working on a budget is such a good idea @N1ghtW1ng
There is so much crap I end up buying on holiday - I spend so much money and I never need it/use it when i get back home.

What is your number one tip for people who are travelling on a budget?
1. Buy food from supermarkets and have picnics! Instead of going out for breakfast/lunch/dinner every meal!
2. Keep a track of your spendings and try and cut back where you can - ie spending $5 on icecream EVERYDAY in Italy can really start to add up...
3. Catch public transport when you can as opposed to taxis :)

That's so cool @Georgie! Is there much of an age difference between you and your sister? I travelled around Asia with my sister for a month (she's 10 years older than me) and we didn't travel at all well together! We had three friends with us, so that helped a little bit.

Question 7: Who do you like going travelling with?
I've learnt the hard way that me and my oldest sister do NOT TRAVEL WELL TOGETHER... :/
I've travelled a LOT with my family. Would love to travel with friends :)

I agree @OrangeOliver - you seem to do a lot of walking whilst traveling, but you also seem to eat and drink a lot more than usual!
Mentally traveling can be super beneficial, but also incredibly tough. You also might not have the usual support system you would have at home.

It sounds like you had a very interesting experience @Georgie!
I've also learnt recently how to enjoy my own company. Are you glad you went through those challenges? Would you do it all again?

Do you think travelling benefits your physical, mental and spiritual health? Why/Why not?
I think it can. It really depends on what you make of it. I would actually love to on a really physically intense travelling trip - as a fun way to get fitter and see the world!
I think it can do wonders for your mental health - but it can also be difficult traveling and so it's important that you look after your mental wellbeing
For a lot of my friends, traveling has really helped with their spiritual health. However, I haven't really experienced this.
