Nice accommodation is a big part of a trip, and by cutting corners Cara actually costs us money
My girlfriend Cara and I have been together seven years, but we have only travelled together a handful of times as we are both homebodies. But earlier this year, we went on holiday to Greece to visit my family, and it quickly became clear that we aren’t travel-compatible.
Cara tries to cut corners, but it can end up costing us money. First, she didn’t want to pay for hold luggage. We were going away for 12 days and she insisted on squeezing everything into her backpack. She squished all her clothes into these silly packing cubes and I thought: this is insanity. Some of it didn’t fit, so she made me pack it in my suitcase. And when we got to the airport, she was asked to pay extra as her backpack didn’t fit in the holder by the check-in desk. It was really embarrassing.
