5 types of friends to travel with...

Travelling is fun, no matter we go alone, with family or with friends

But travelling with friends its much more fun as we get to visit place together and experience it together.

5 types of friends to travel with are

1: The Obsessive Compulsive Planner

Why??? 

For movie nights and spontaneous inumans, the O.C. planner friend isn’t much fun. However, when it comes to itinerary planning, booking of flights, preparing necessary maps, and making sure everyone is on time for everything, he/she is invaluable. Sure, you might feel like slapping the person when you get his 5AM wake up call, but you’ll be thankful when you’re NOT part of the group of late passengers who get all the nasty looks for delaying the flight.

2: The Photographer

Yes, they take a lot of selfies. Yes, they’ll ask you to help carry their gear around. Stopping for an extra 15 minutes at must-see spots will be a pain, and you’ll probably get tired of posing for the camera because “I’m trying to get the exposure right!”

At the end of the day (or trip) though, you’ll be thanking them when all your friends ooh and ahh at all the Coron sunset pictures you’re tagged in.

Besides, would you really rather be in front of the lens or behind it? (BONUS: be extra nice to them and they might be willing to Photoshop a few pounds off yourbilbil before posting your pictures online)

3: The Foodie

For a lot of people (looloo reviewers, especially) trying out different cuisines is one of, if not the top priority when checking out new places. Expect your foodie friend to have a list of all the must-try restaurants at your chosen destination, and the expected budget for each place even. For example, would you really want to miss out on Kinabuch’s crocodile sisig when traveling to Palawan? Beetle Larvae atBalaw-Balaw in Angono, anyone?

4: The Light Packer

The Light Packer will never have check-in luggage, will never bring his or her own toiletries, and will even do laundry in the hotel bathroom sink to reduce the number of clothes he/she will have to take for the trip. The benefits of having a light packer with you might not be explicitly clear at first, but it’ll really pay off in the long run.

They’re not slowed down by unnecessary weight when you’re walking around town, saving you and your friends the hassle of stopping every 5 minutes to wait for the laggers. Having all that extra luggage space means that if you’re nice to them, you could probably “rent” out some of that space for the extra kilo of Zubuchon lechon you bought as pasalubong.

5: The YOLO Friend

Whether it’s cliff-diving at Ariel’s Point, or sandboarding in Paoay, a bit of adventure is always welcome when traveling. When you feel like letting your hair down (or taking a 50-foot leap into the sea), you’ll be glad to have that YOLO friend around to give you that extra push (whether literally or figuratively). There may be times when he/she will get a bit overeager when it comes to trying stuff out, but would you really want to pass up on the chance to BECOME A MERMAID FOR A DAY??

Look back at your last trip’s photos and spot which travel buddy type you and your friends fall under! Did we miss anyone? How about some ideas for our list of friends you’d HATE to travel with?
