Traveling by yourself is fun, but sometimes you wish you had someone to experience all the awesome things with. Going on a trip with your best friend is one of the best things to do. Embarking on a journey with your best friends is one of the best things you can do for your relationship. Here are seven reasons why your best friend is the best travel buddy.
