For most people, the words \u201csibling\u201d and \u201ctravel\u201d trigger flashbacks to fist fights in the back of a rental car somewhere in Italy, attempted drowning on a package holiday to Majorca and various local wildlife being hidden in your bed \u201cfor a joke\u201d.
\nWe\u2019ve all been there. I remember sitting sulkily around a table in a caf\u00e9 in France, refusing to talk to anyone in my family, before my Dad dramatically stood up and yelled across the entire restaurant: \u2018this is the last holiday we\u2019re taking as a family, ever\u2019, before tripping over the bench behind him and cracking his camera lens.
\n\"travel
\nBut despite my Dad\u2019s premonitions, nearly 15 years on and Claire (my twin sister) and I, still travel together. In fact, we run a travel blog together. Push past the memories of seeing my Dad naked on a nudist beach in Lanzarote, or being sick on each other during a particularly bendy car journey, and we\u2019ve found that travelling together is a great and genuinely enjoyable experience. \u00a0Well, most of the time.
\nFrom travelling with someone who you don\u2019t have to make small talk with, to being able to openly tell someone you\u2019re homesick and want to go home, travelling with someone as close to you as your sibling has lots of benefits. Below are our experiences of travelling together; experiences that definitely don\u2019t include pushing each other into swimming pools.
\n\"Twins<\/p>\n

Laura says:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a little ironic that Claire and I run a travel blog, given that travelling makes me anxious.
\nWith a dislike of airports (so crowded); a growing fear of flying (all those miles of air below you and nothing to hold you up); and genuine spatial dyslexia, I\u2019m not the tranquil traveller I\u2019d like to be. If I\u2019m travelling with friends or a boyfriend, the whole thing can be quite stressful. Whether it be trying to force a smile on the plane, whilst my mouth is dryer than the Sahara, or staring at a map with the realisation that I\u2019ve walked in a 5 mile circle; the pressure of making sure everyone is having a great time can sometimes ruin a trip.
\nTravelling with Claire is different. When travelling with someone you\u2019ve known your entire life, there\u2019s no pressure to put on a front. They\u2019ve sat through those endless road trips with you; been on that plane when everyone got food poisoning and was violently ill; and also been bored out of their mind, wandering around yet another museum in Northern France. There is no need to impress here, no burden to make sure they are having the time of their lives. Travelling with a sibling instantly eases the pressure.
\n\"Twins
\nTravelling with a sibling can also be reassuring. When I was at University, I decided to go on an ill-fated trip around Europe with a friend. A week in and things weren\u2019t going well. There were public fights, tears, stony silences and the eventual termination of our trip. I flew home after seeing just two countries and with a friendship that never really recovered.\u00a0 However, travelling with a sibling means there is a mutual understanding that however much you irritate each other, you\u2019re not going to bail on one other. You\u2019ll look after each other and things will blow over, because you\u2019ve come through much worse before (the time Claire and I lost our minds during our University finals and nearly killed each other, for example). Travelling with a sibling means reassurance and safety; knowing they\u2019ve got your back and you have theirs.
\nLastly, travelling with your brother or sister is important. It makes for better memories, a better appreciation of each other and a stronger relationship. Claire and I also have another brother and sister, who we also travel separately and together with. We\u2019re by no means the Brady Bunch, but as adults we\u2019ve been able to spend time together that we perhaps wouldn\u2019t in our everyday lives and as a result, share brilliant memories.
\n\"Smiling
\nDon\u2019t get me wrong: travelling with a sibling isn\u2019t always fun. Claire and I fight, annoy each other and often wish we were travelling with someone else. But with 30 years of history behind us we know that 5 minutes later, we\u2019ll both be fine and ready to carry on with our adventure.
\nThat\u2019s what siblings do best.<\/p>\n

Claire says:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

People often ask if I enjoy spending time with Laura, which I find slightly odd. Of course I\u2019m going to enjoy spending time my twin sister: she\u2019s my other half – my biological, real<\/em> half. Laura and I are very similar, even down to the smallest things such as when we feel hungry, when we feel tired (just after lunch) and we both share a deep hatred for walking tours. Travelling with Laura is really like travelling with myself: it\u2019s easy, stress free and for the most part, fun!
\n\"Twins
\nThere is one element of travelling with a sibling, however, that can result in arguments. This is the total lack of politeness found only between brothers and sisters. Laura and I have no fear of telling one another exactly how it is, or how much we\u2019re not <\/em>enjoying an experience. This, of course, can result in hurt feelings.
\nWhen travelling with a friend, you generally attempt to maintain a constant degree of politeness, even if on the inside you\u2019re hating every moment of an experience. \u00a0Internally you might be dying a little, but externally you continue to smile. Who wants to come across as the moody, high-maintenance friend on holiday? Not me.
\nUnfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) there\u2019s none of that between me and Laura. In fact, on a recent trip to Rotterdam, Laura bluntly and loudly pointed out that for the last hour I had been uttering three sentences, on repeat: \u2018I\u2019m thirsty, I need a wee, I need a sit down\u2019. I was ordered to stop. Like a small child, I was publicly shamed.\u00a0 Although incidents like this can cause tension, for the most part, cutting out the politeness (the only way siblings know how), is actually a blessing when travelling. It saves time, ensures everyone is having fun and prevents any silent resentment creeping into your relationship.
\n\"Twins
\nTogether, we have donned fur hats in Russia, battled crowds in Tokyo, toured the White House in Washington and searched for fairies on the Isle of Skye. These experiences surpass any memories of sibling tensions or rivalries. Travelling with a sibling allows you both the time to really appreciate one another; something that can often be lost in day-to-day family politics and general life. Try it, you might just enjoy it!
