How Much Alone Time Do You Need When Vacationing with a Group?

...even the people you love most are best enjoyed in small, occasional doses.

Vacation is supposed to be all sunsets, cocktails, and quality time…but apparently, even the people you love most are best enjoyed in small, occasional doses.

According to a survey, the average traveler wants about two hours of alone time each day…even when vacationing with people they like, nearly half say sharing close quarters increases the chances of arguments, often over things like meals, plans, or who takes forever to get ready. In fact, most believe that a bit of personal space actually improves group dynamics and can even strengthen relationships. So, while group trips are great for making memories, it turns out the real key to harmony might just be…politely disappearing for a couple hours a day.
