Our Top Tips for Travelling with your Mates

Throw it back to your festival days and agree on a meeting place if you get separated, you might not have a tent spot, but a landmark of significance will do the trick - don't wanna get caught out with 0% battery or no signal.
Speaking of, keep your phone charged at all times, there's so many cheap portable chargers knocking around these days, it's as simple as keeping one of em' and a cable on you to give your phone a juice boost.
When you're heading out on the town, it's important you stick together as much as possible, no friend gets left behind, even the really slow walkers are required to buddy up at our insistence (please).
Keep the group chat active, it doesn't just have to be a place to divulge on last nights antics and dump photos, it can be a useful lifeline when it comes to sharing live locations and dropping pins, especially if anyone gets separated, or if you're taking taxis anywhere.
This ones a biggie, well, they all are, but if you're groups all about the sesh, then this should be top priority. Watch your drinks. Don't leave them unattended, don't accept them from strangers, and if you're feeling any unease, ask for anti-spike covers (where available). Oh, also be aware that alcohol measures abroad are highly likely to vary from bar to bar.
It pays to be in the know, so keep a note somewhere of your hotel's name and address. A screenshot, or throw it back to days gone by and get the pen and paper out, either way, it's the best info to have on hand if you get separated to ensure you can make it back to a safe place.
