"Make Sure It's Adults Only": 26 People Revealed Their Most Controversial Travel Opinion
"We did not fly across the country to a new state just for you to still eat McDonald's. It’s time to try a new restaurant."
After attempting trips with friends, I know I'm not the best travel buddy. I like to have an itinerary, go on excursions, and be out the door sometime in the morning so we have a full day to see everything. Others...well they're more go with the flow. Everyone has their preferences, and that fact was especially demonstrated when Twitter user @abigvle recently went viral after asking: "What travel/vacation opinion would have you like this?"

Disney is not a vacation. I refuse to drop that much money on a trip that requires a special planner to get all the good reservations so I can walk miles on the surface of the sun with children who won’t remember the trip.

When you travel to regions that rely heavily on tourism (like the Caribbean) remember that it's a real place with real people who exist whether you're there or not. Respect the fact that people live where you vacation and stop treating islands and their citizens like playthings. https://t.co/lfNcMvzL6Y

It’s okay to see tourist-y shit when you’re traveling, because, you are in fact a Tourist https://t.co/NaSLGlDhxK

when locals from places like hawaii and puerto rico tell tourists not to travel there because you’re making it harder for them to live but you still do, i think less of you as a person. https://t.co/38d5zxqg59

A plane is a confined space, so getting off it is ALWAYS going to take forever. Sit down, be patient, and wait your turn.

If it's your turn to scout for resorts, make sure it's "Adults Only." Nobody feels like being on neighborhood watch mode for other people kids dammet!

Not all friends are good travel companions
— Laish (@ArtLaish) October 1, 2023
But someone not being a good travel companion doesn’t make them a bad friend (inherently)
Spare the friendship and travel with people who vacation similarly to you. https://t.co/T5vy2Kmid8

i think ppl should learn the basics of the official language before they go to a country . it's easier for the locals when u interact with them & u can actually enjoy yourself without whipping out a translator every 5 seconds https://t.co/KvzhuxVYOp

1. Tour companies are not overrated they’re helpful in navigating said city i suggest Viator.
— Lia Monè (@AMB0915) October 2, 2023
2. Form your own opinions about travel destinations. If someone hated a place, you may love it & vice versa. Social media made this weird
3. Buy a luggage scale & packing cubes.

Paris is overrated and nasty. There are other places in France worth visiting and much nicer, like Lyon, Nice, Strasbourg, and Annecy. https://t.co/jquRQLkAgF
