There are times that you don’t want to be alone which is why we have friends whom you want to share every moment with and speaking of moments, the best part of having two or more friends is when you get to go on trips together! How exciting is that?
Moreover, there are a lot of fun advantages of having the whole gang with you on a travel but there are also some disadvantages. Anyway, let’s not focus on the downsides but think of the great benefits instead.
“I’ll take your photo, you take mine.”
Living in the generation where taking photos whenever we travel is now a must-to-do obligation for purpose of social media or just simply capturing memories. The best thing when traveling with your friends is that they can take awesome pictures of you and in return, you can click the camera for them too. In that way, you do not have to ask some random stranger on a foreign place to take your picture or having the struggle to pose for a selfie especially when the background view is spectacular. Additionally, it is even more fun especially when you are having a hard time deciding which chic pose is more “Instagram worthy” then they can give you tips on how to post pictures like a pro blogger.
“Let’s split the bill. I pay for this; you pay for that.”
The good part of dividing the travel expenses such as the accommodation packages is you get to save money and not only that, you can experience the same services together with the entire squad without feeling being left out. It is more convenient because you can share with the same approach and can meet halfway in terms of compromises. If the service sucks, you have someone to rant together about it.
“Be my Buddy guard”
Sometimes you really need someone who can watch out for you especially when you are in an unfamiliar place. One of the perks of having a travel buddies is you both can watch out for each other and your valuables too. Take for example when one of you has to use the toilet, he or she can be on guard for your stuff. Second, if you happen to lose something, you have someone who can help you retrace your steps. Lastly, if there are chances that both of you have no idea where you are going, at least you are not alone on this situation.
Creating memories together
For those who gets easily homesick, traveling with a companion or your squad is the best option for you because you can share the experience together without loneliness wrapping you up during your journey. But you know what is even greater? Traveling with the people who are close to your heart such as family and true friends who will never leave your side. Imagine yourself partying in your dream destination then you suddenly became drunk and thankfully, you have your best friend along to be on “nanny mode”. However, creating memories together after a long travel can give you something to talk about and worth cherishing plus, you can plan your next adventure too.
