Going on vacation is pure blis if you're traveling with people who are roughly your vibe. You know, same energy level, similar chaos tolerance, and ideally, more than three or four of them. That way, the group dynamic stays fresh, and there's always someone up for snacks or spontaneous karaoke.
Now, finding those magical travel companions? Not easy. For some, it's like assembling the Avengers. But if you've got the hold on tight. They're gold.
But here’s the real gem I took away from this trip: Think more about yourself. Not in a selfish, "I’m the main character and everyone else is background noise" kind of way. More like: this is your time. Don’t hand it over to someone else’s schedule, mood swings, or indecisiveness. Be free. Try weird stuff. Do cool things. Be the person who says “yes” to paddleboarding at sunset or dancing in the rain.
(Disclaimer: If you’re traveling with your partner, give them your time. All of it. Be their personal butler if needed. That’s love. But for everyone else? Boundaries, baby.)
