Every trip has its ecosystem. The personalities shift, the group dynamic balances itself out, and somehow it always works (even when it really shouldn’t). Here’s a guide to the holiday friends you’ll always find in the group chat.
Four bags for 14 days. Somehow still “needed more options.”
She’s brought the dry shampoo, the travel steamer, the backup charger, and the adapter that ends up saving everyone. Her suitcase is a walking convenience store.
She is lovingly annoying to travel with, but absolutely essential to have.
Did not come to walk. Did not come to sightsee.
She came for good food, strong UV, her book, and a cocktail in hand. Fully at peace with this arrangement.
Somehow always the most self-aware person on the trip.
Forgot her passport. Almost lost her boarding pass. Spilled coffee on a white linen shirt right before boarding.
And yet… not stressed at all.
She is slightly increasing everyone else’s anxiety but also constantly giggling through it all.
She always makes it though. No one knows how.
Truly the easiest person to travel with.
Never complains about the room. Always down for a detour. Finds things to do in traffic. Somehow makes every plan feel more fun just by existing in it.
“I don’t mind, you choose.”
Proceeds to have strong opinions about that one pool with no sun.
Has a shared notes doc. Colour-coded itinerary. Group chat pinned with check-in times. Has already mapped out the best coffee near the hotel before anyone has even packed.
Thank god for her. We all need her in our lives.
Nobody touches their food until she’s got the shot.
Made the group walk back three blocks for the lighting. Slightly inconvenient in the moment, but the photos from the trip will live forever in everyone’s profile pictures.
It was worth it. It’s always worth it.
Finds the chicest hotel for half the price. Books the best beauty salon in the city for $40. At dinner she’s already asking “wait how much is that in AUD though?”
Splits the bill to the exact cent.
Secretly always orders the most expensive thing on the menu.
We love her anyway.
Every group has all of them. Sometimes you are one. Sometimes you become all of them by day three.
