Many travelers might think that travelling with siblings would become a nightmare. When you think about travelling with your siblings, one of the very first thing you think might be fighting over small things jut like how you often do at home. However, it is not as daunting as it sounds and travelling with your own siblings can be fun too.
The connection is already there

You can also be yourself throughout the trip without worrying too much about your persona or image. Sometimes, you don’t have to speak too many words just to let your siblings understand what you mean and it is such a gift of being siblings.
The sense of safety
Travelling with your sibling increase the sense of security and safety. You know that you are going to have each other’s back throughout the trip. With your siblings close to you, you feel protected. Also, it makes you feel braver somehow, making you enjoy the trip more and try new things fearlessly.
Teach you to compromise

And it is good for healthy relationship between siblings. It can press the feeling of selfishness. Since you care for your siblings, you try to make them happy and they do the same as you.
Know something new of your siblings

It can create new and sweet memories you can tell to your parents once you return. Even the fight you had in the past may sound silly when you recall it during the trip.
No shame for being broke
