Caveat: An important reasons why people enjoy vacations is the increased sense of autonomy. You are not joining a “tour group", we encourage you to travel on your own and we are there to help you do that with planning, advice and companionship. We've travelled with people from many countries and found that often people feel obligated to do as we do or feel we should do as they do. It creates this uncomfortable feeling of loosing the freedom to enjoy your own holidays. Just because we cook our own dinner instead of going to the pizzeria, hike up the mountain rather than take the cable car, are tired and do not want to hike the whole day or are frugal rather than having no spending limit, doesn't mean that you want to do or feel the same way as we might. .
