I always knew that I wanted to travel on my own. I neverย realized that traveling with someone can be such an enriching experience. It was not until I traveled with my best friend that all that changed; I realized thatย there are lot of perks that come withย travelingย with your BFF. If I had to sit down and list them all, this wouldย be a pretty long article. Here are the most important ones:
1- Youย strengthen your friendshipย
Nothing strengthens the bond of friendship like being in a foreign place together. Even if you’re traveling locally, going to a new place means you’re going to experience new things in your friendship, moments that will make you feel more like friends or putย your friendship to the test.ย ย 
2- You learn something new about each other
You might learn that your friend likes to listen to a particular song before they go to sleep, likes two sugars in their coffee or the fact that they’re early risers. All these things might not have been known to you until you both took the opportunity to travel together.
3- You push each other to do new things
When you’re traveling alone, you’re usually not tempted to exit your comfort zone. You’ll likely do the things you enjoy doing and will stray away from activities that you wouldn’t normally engage in. That’s your best friend’s role; they’re there to suggest the things you wouldn’t normally do. And even if your friend wouldn’t go through with anย activityย alone, the thought of doing it together might motivate both of you to experience something new.
4- You have someone to lean on
Carrying your luggage to the airport, having a shoulder to cry on, and having someone with you duringย the hard difficult times of the trip itself is something that’s just as important as the fun you two will have together.
5- You make new memories
The memories you make on this trip will last you forever. You’ll have loads of stories to tell and will share particular moments that will be a new frontier in your friendship.
6- You discover you’re both not perfect
It’s a sad day when you learn that your best friend isn’t all that great when it comes to a couple of things, but at least learning these things about your friend will teach you that you’re both human. Although you both might have the capability to get on each other’s nerves, you two love each other immensely.
7- You have someone to dine, explore and do things with
In general, doing things with someone is usually a more enjoyable experience. You know what they say: “Two heads are better than one”, and in this case, it’s definitely true.
8- You learn to deal with each other when fighting
Fights are bound to happen when you’ve been friends for this long. Unlike normal circumstances where you take some time apart after your fights, you can’t really do that because you now live with your best friend. Now that you’re on this trip together,ย wesheko fย weshย b3d so to speak, you have to learn how to adapt and resolve the issue while still spending 24/7 with each other.
9- You find out what it’s like if you lived together
You’ve probably wondered what it would be like to live with your best friend. This trip isย like a trial run.
10- You plan your futureย escapades together
You sit for hours talking about all the other places you two could go together and all the new adventures you both can’t wait to experience.
11- You constantly reminisce about the trip afterwards
You reflect on the trip and all the things you’ve done together. You remind each other of all the fun and embarrassing moments you had together and laugh about all the antics you shared. Youย are grateful to have createdย these memories together.
For all you BFF’s out there, if you’ve traveled together already, then you’re the lucky ones! If youย haven’t yet, hop on a plane the closest chanceย you get!ย
