Should you join a group tour or travel independently?

In this episode, I sit down with Nathan, an experienced traveller and international teacher, to compare the advantages and disadvantages of both styles of travel.

We discuss safety, flexibility, cost, meeting new people, language barriers, and when each approach makes the most sense. We also talk about cruises, all-inclusive resorts, relocating abroad, and why sometimes having someone else handle the planning can make all the difference.

Whether you’re planning your very first international trip or your fiftieth, this conversation may help you decide which style of travel best fits your personality and travel goals.
