Well for me its my family. I can go out with my friends anytime but with my family is very rare as father mother are most of the time busy with work. And also i feel much more secure with my family. So what about you, family or friends?

yes now also when my mom sees the photos of our earlier trips she points out and says "see how small you are" it really feels nice to get back all the memories.

I love to take my toddler son traveling with me. So far I have been to Portugal, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and South Africa. Now I have my baby girl to take traveling as well. She isn't yet a week old and yet she has traveled in an ambulance just like her toddler brother. I hope to take them to Canada next summer. I have found that when traveling with friends we wanted differences like accommodation and I move at a faster pace than they did. For years I loved traveling on my own with all that freedom.

Very good question Suj123! And you have a perceptive observation for this point. I think i like to travel with my family and my friends. See, these are two different feelings. When i travel with family, i have to take good care of them and make sure they enjoying everything. While travel with friends, we can do a lot of crazy things that we enjoy. lol.. So it's different, i can't pick one.

I like to travel with either group. When I travel with family or friends, I enjoyed our travels very much. But I prefer traveling with friends more, because sometimes my family can get tired easily. They also don't like waiting for me especially when I am shopping. With friends, because we share the same interests, we can indulge in shopping to our heart's desire. There is no pressure whatsoever to hurry. But I guess another perk of traveling with my family is that all expenses are paid by my parents. It also enables me to bond with them more. Traveling makes me appreciate both my family and friends.

I really like to travel alone. Just carefree! But if I have to choose between travelling with friends or family. I'll say family because when you are home it's just a daily boring routine and even if you feel you know your family, its most likely that you don't. When we travel together we tend to be more close to each other and more protective about each other so that is kind of cool for me. :)

No i am a little bit different than you. I love to travel with my family, but i enjoy traveling with my friends. Because, you know you have greater connectivity with our friends. So i enjoy every moment with my friend, we talk, we sing, we dance, we play. So i love to travel with my friends.

Just like you, I also feel more secure and comfortable everytime I travel with my family. Usually I go out with my mom for short distance traveling (because she is old and her doctor asked her not to travel too far), and I go out for long distance traveling with my husband (we both love to travel to another islands or cities, to see the beautiful scenery and try the local foods ). It's been a long time since the last time I travelled with my friends I think

As to whether I will travel with friends or family depends on many circumstances. First, is the travel a business need? Or an outing from a company for example? If that is the case, I prefer to travel with friends and colleagues then. But if the travel is for pleasure and personal choice, then I would travel with my family.

well it depends, sometimes i like to travel with parents, travelling with parents you have to face lesser responsibilities, i like to travel with parents when we travel to our native place during festive season or some occasion, but when touring or travelling for fun i like to travel with friends, though i let my parents know everywhere i go... your father and mother are busy with work most of the time, i am sure you must be enjoying their company a lot!

Well, for me, family is always the first. I still remember I go out to travel with my family only once when I was at primary school. After that, just like you, most of time I spent is with my friends. What`s more, I spend less and less time with my family because I have to go far away to study. %_

I prefer to travel with my family. I feel safe and comfortable whenever I go with father and mother and and the rests of the family. Aside from that father would shoulder all the expenses so it's a great save in my part unlike with my friends it's not good to just go and eat without sharing anything. Kidding aside but its true.Happy mylotting1

For sure, it will be my family..Its nice to hang-out/travel with them because its not everyday wherein you can go-out together and have fun.. although friends would be fun too but the happiness that i'll feel with them would definitely be different.. ryt? :)

Sometimes I'like to travel alone, which makes me clam in my trip. But mostly with families is a good choice, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and even my puppies.
