Going on holiday in the summer is always something you are going to look forward to but having the opportunity to go away with your best friends in the whole world is even better. This is a chance to have some quality time together, make memories, and push the boundaries of your comfort zone by exploring somewhere new.

To help you make this dream a reality, this handy guide is going to walk you through some of the essential things you need to know and do to make sure that the holiday you plan is best it can be.

Start saving

First of all, you need to sort out how you are all going to afford to go on holiday together. To begin with, a good policy is to make sure everyone is going to pay their fair share. Add together the total cost of travel and accommodation together and divide that number by the number of people going and this will give you the amount of money you need to pay.

Alongside this, finding some tips for saving money online is a great way to make sure you can get together a nice amount of spending money. One idea is to get a savings tin and fill it up with all of your loose change; you will be surprised how quickly it all adds up.

Make smart choices with your travel

The next most important thing you need to sort out is how you are going to travel to your holiday as there are many great options for you to get around the UK that are affordable.

One great option is to book the Megabus, as this is easy to afford and there are often discounts on group bookings and for students. Plus, you can find travel hacks from Megabus on their website to help you to help you to get the most out of your trip.

For example, signing up the newsletters from hotel chains and transport companies can help you to hear about the best deals and limited time offers to help save some extra money and maybe even get some added benefits, such as upgrading your travel.

Choosing a great destination

The most exciting part of booking a holiday with your friends is deciding where you all want to go together. The great thing about going away with the people you love the most is that, no matter where you choose, you will always be able to find amazing things to do together.

For example, one place you should consider visiting is Formby beach in Merseyside. This is a stunning stretch of unspoiled coastline that is managed by the national trust, making it the perfect place to get away from the bustle of the city and the stressful life of being a student.

This is a great place to reconnect with nature by paying a visit to the red squirrel reserve or looking for the 5000-year-old red deer footprints.
