Traveling the world is one of my biggest dreams, as well as many other people's. Many people want to travel far and wide, seeing everything there is to see. But, what fun would it be to see all of this by yourself? There would be no one to share the experience with. So, here are my reasons to travel with friends.
1. Fun pictures
One of the number one things people do while traveling is taking cliché pictures in front of monuments. From holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa to posing as Christ the Redeemer, there is always someone taking a photo in front of such landmarks. These moments would be even more fun if you had your best friends right there doing it with you.
2. Getting matching souvenirs
I can't speak for everyone, but I love to get souvenirs from the places I visit. It is like a psychical reminder of the trip you took and the fun you had. Getting matching ones with your friends is fun because it reminds you all of the memories you made with each other. And really, who would want to forget a trip taken with friends?
3. Seeing cool places and things
Wether it be in the middle of the city or the backwoods of the country, if you drive or walk without any destination in mind, you will most likely come across something cool. There are all sorts of cool statues, murals, and stores, or rivers, sections of woods, and places full of wildlife. There is plenty to see in this world we call home.
4. It's like a test run for living with someone other than your parents
If you are on a trip with just your friends, you will all be working together to figure out what, where, and when to eat, where to stop at night to sleep, and what to do while you are there. Compromises will be necessary, or there would be no peace. Naturally, you might get annoyed with their habits, but that would be overshadowed by how much fun you are having.
5. It would be so much fun
Seriously, what more fun could you have than seeing places you've never seen before with your best friend? There are moments on trips that can never be replicated anywhere else, so why not grab a friend and go?
