If you're lucky, your best friend is by far your favorite person on the planet. If you're even luckier, you'll get a best friend with a thirst for travel, that challenges you to try new things, explore new places, and live the best life you can whilst seeing the world. If you're the luckiest person around, you can do all these things with your best friend. So, here are the reasons why traveling with your best friend is by far the best thing you could possibly do.
1. You'll always have company.
Someone to always look back with and relive that time that you saw the street performer in Athens, ate gelato on the Spanish Steps, strolled the left bank in Paris, took a ferry ride in Sydney, explored a castle in Ireland, or even just road tripped to the Grand Canyon. You'll have constant memories to look back on, and someone that was always there to share the memories with.
2. A constant sleepover.
Sleep during the night, siesta during the day, sight-see in between. The naps are endless!
3. Getting lost just got a lot more fun.
Getting lost with your family or significant other often results in unreasonable fights, but with your best friend it's just another cool exploring opportunity.
4. You can enjoy "couple-y" things without the pressure.
Romantic moonlit strolls, candlelit dinners and couple's beach massages just got a lot more silly and unromantic since you'll be enjoying them with your best friend.
5. Sharing clothes.
It's like you're bringing an extension of your closet with you because you know your BFF will always be there with her cute style to compliment yours. Mixing and matching is a must. Plus adding even more to your combined wardrobe when you inevitably go shopping together because who doesn't love saying "I picked this up in Milan when I want there with my best friend?"
6. You're not expected to go everywhere with them.
You respect each other's space, so instead of being dragged along by your family or SO, you know that they'll want to do one thing while you do another that the other has no interest in, so you can enjoy it alone and tell them about it later.
7. Someone to gush over all the guys with.
Every guy is foreign whether he's actually foreign or not. But if you are in a foreign country, the accents make it all the better.
8. You'll never argue over where to travel.
Because you want to travel everywhere together.
9. You are equally adventurous about trying new things.
Or know exactly what you like and know exactly how much the other likes stepping out of their comfort zone.
10. Your conjoined road trip playlists are on point.
11. Your pictures just got increasingly better.
Either you have your own personal photographer, or you have just become everyone's newest "best friend goals" because of all the cool places you get to show everyone you went with your BFF.
12. You like the same stuff.
So you are ready to live your best life because your travel itinerary hits all the spots that you know the other would love just as much as you.
13. You're used to their weird habits.
Nothing's new to best friends, so being alone together for an extended period of time, nothing strange that they do is going to surprise you.
14. You can finally put your phone away.
The person you would tell everything to is standing right next to you.
15. You can travel to all the places you've talked about for years.
Australia, Ireland, Italy, England, or even just up the California coast, you finally get to take it all in with your BFF by your side.
16. You get to spend an extended period of time with your favorite person on the planet.
Exploring new places nonetheless. Now how cool is that?
