I have a problem. I invited a close friend of mine to go backpacking around Europe with me next summer, she loves to travel, and speaks German fluently. The problem is that she doesn't want to travel the same way I do. I want to budget all the way, and stay in the cheapest hostels and avoid eating at expensive restaurants. I have limited funds and am hoping to see Europe on no more than $30 a day (if possible). She, on the other hand, is all about staying in hotels and eating at the nice restaurants. She hates dormitory style living and communal bathrooms (whereas I've lived in a dorm for the two years I've been in college). What should I do? Should I tell her that she can't come with me, or should I find a way to approach her about the situation, and see if I can convince her to travel cheap, like me? Has anyone else had a situation like this? I don't want to hurt her feelings or lose her friendship. Advice, anyone?
