The Group Trip Planner: A No-Drama System for Planning, Budgeting & Splitting Costs on Trips With Friends or Family (PDF Workbook)

Somebody has to be the one who books the group house, chases everyone for their share, and untangles who owes what after the trip — and it usually turns into a job nobody signed up for. The Group Trip Planner gives you a step-by-step system for planning a trip with friends or family that settles budget, decisions, and cost-splitting before anyone books anything, instead of after it's already gone wrong.

What you'll get: A 16-page digital PDF workbook you can read on any device or print at home, built around real worksheets, checklists, and planning tables for your own group trip — not just advice to read once and forget.

Who this is for: Anyone organizing (or stuck organizing) a trip with more than one decision-maker — a friend group, siblings, cousins, or a mixed group of couples and singles. Whether you're the person everyone expects to plan it or you just want your group's next trip to go more smoothly, this workbook gives you a process to run instead of winging it.

What you'll learn:

• Why most group trips go wrong, and the one role every group trip needs
• How to get everyone aligned on dates, budget, and commitment before booking
• How to set a group budget that works even when people's budgets don't match
• A fair way to choose a destination and build an itinerary without a fight
• Three cost-splitting methods and how to track shared expenses without becoming the group's accountant
• How to divide the planning workload across four clear roles
• Scripts for handling friction and group dynamics on the trip itself
• A pre-trip logistics checklist and a full planning timeline you can reuse for every future trip

Key benefits:

• Settle the budget and decision-making process before money or feelings are on the line
• Split costs fairly without an awkward conversation after the trip
• Spread the planning workload so it doesn't all fall on one person
• Reuse the worksheets and timeline as a template for every trip this group takes next

What's included: A 16-page PDF workbook with 9 chapters covering group alignment, budgeting, destination and itinerary decisions, cost-splitting, role assignments, on-trip dynamics, and pre-trip logistics — plus built-in worksheets, checklists, and planning tables throughout. Instant digital download, personal-use license included.

Why this workbook helps: Group trip conflict almost never comes from incompatible people — it comes from decisions made too late. This workbook moves every one of those decisions earlier, so the trip itself can just be a trip.

How it works: After purchase, you'll receive instant access to download the PDF. Save it to your phone, tablet, or computer, or print the worksheets and checklists to fill in by hand.
