Should I go with my sister?

mattP

Im 17 and she's 19. She's been talking about going across Europe next Summer on her own, but said I'd be more than welcome if I wanted to go (provided I pay my own way of course ) Its all in the early stages of planning but she said she wants to know soon
Id love to go but the problem is that sometimes we don't get on. We've been getting on great without a problem for the last few months. When we don't get on we wouldn't even look at each other in the house - We've very strong personalities Should I go? So much can be said for being the bigger man to keep peace, but it doesn't work with her :P the rage has to run its course before it peters out...

Only you can really answer that question but if you go the 2 of you will be out of your comfort zones and experiencing new things.
This joint experience may benefit the 2 of you.

It could go one of two ways; you both grow up and mature while travelling and realise there's more to life than petty squabbling and you start to appreciate what's really important in life, OR, you bicker constantly over silly things and can't manage to agree on anything and you don't enjoy yourself. It could make your relationship stronger but it could also make you clash. Prepare yourself for both eventualities and then make a decision.

Go.
If it doesn't work out, then come home. No big deal.

It depends on how ye deal with having an argument in my opinion. If ye were to have a little fight would ye move on after a couple of hours or wouldn't ye let it go.
I suppose if ye do go. It should be easier enough to get home if any argument did happen.

next summer is a bit away so you will both do some more growing up before then. what about next time an argument starts, both try to resolve it in a more mature way. see how it goes.

in the meantime, she's asked you if you want to go. that's a positive thing. if she didn't want you around, she wouldn't have asked.

give it some thought. it's definitely worth it if you can both resolve things properly as they happen.
good luck

Hi
I believe that yes you should go with your sister next summer. I believe that it would be great for the two of ye to go travelling together and I am also planning to go backpacking around Europe next summer myself. If ye dont get on from time to time thats a normal part of life
I sometimes dont get on with my younger sister from time to time either. She will be 15 on the 23rd of this month and Im 25 so there is a 10 and a half year gap between us while there is only a 2 year gap between you and your sister. Yes I would highly recommend you going to Europe with your sister next summer and yes its a once in a lifetime opportunity so go for it. You dont want to be there at 30 regretting not going as you never get to go again. My aunt went travelling around Europe when she was 22 and she had a wonderful time. She said that her favourite place was Italy which I would highly recommend visiting and she also travelled around Spain and Portugal and France and also visited the Czeck Republic. She even said that she would do it again but unfortunately it didnt happen. When she travelled around she stayed in hostels which were great value for money and she believes that the cheapest way to get there is to fly to London and then get the Eurostar to Paris and ye can travel by train around the rest of mainland Europe. So if I were you it would be a definite yes.
I look forward to hearing back from you and hopefully we will meet in Europe next summer
