Make it out the Group Chat: 5 Reasons to Book that Girls (or Guys) Trip in 2025
I have the absolute best friend group. Honestly I hit the friendship lotto with my girls.
And as a “multi purpose friend”, those that know me know that I’m always down anything that involves a a good time.
Life is all about balance. If you are like me, you wear many hats and so you may have to divide your time (and coins) toward family vacations, bae-cations, kid activities, etc.
A good girls trip however doesn’t to be a massive splurge so you can make it as scalable as you’d like. It is your friends after all so it will be a good time regardless (if not, maybe consider some new ones lol).
For my birthday this year, my girls helped me celebrate my 35th year around the Sun and we had an amazing time in Puerto Vallarta. To let my hair down and be amongst my girls without interruption to laugh, talk, and even sit in silence was what my soul needed after a pretty chaotic few months.
I came home so refreshed and so thankful for the beautiful life I have. And shout out to my husband for being unselfish enough to share me with others who make my soul happy too. We all need that every now and then. And to return the favor, I’m happy to support his upcoming guys trip next year (for the record and in writing!)
I know the title says Girls trip but these reasons can go for the fellas too. Check these 5 reasons why you must make that trip out that group chat in 2025!
- You all need the break
Life be lifin and everybody needs a little R&R from work, kids, and life in general. Your friends more than likely need a a little break so why take a little break together even if it’s for different reasons.
2. Allows you time to really connect and get to know your friends more
If you are breathing, you are still changing (hopefully). If your friendships have lasted for decades, it’s no secret that are not the same friend they met in high school or college. A trip is a great place for your friends to reacquaint their self to the evolved you. Maybe you have a new hobby they’ve never experienced or you’d prefer to take a trip down memory lane with those who know you best.
3. Experience new things and create new memories
True story during our recent trip to Mexico , my girls and I stumbled upon a sound bath class by mistake. Full transparency our level of knowledge of a sound bath was borderline non existent and the only thing to reference was that we are fans of Jhene Aiko and somebody (me) swore she used them in her last album. We’re pretty open minded so we had a good time but it was no short of laughter during or after.
4. Uplift and motivate
These are your friends for a reason so there should be no better hype crew. This is your tribe and on one of the few sacred spaces you should experience without judgement. So who better to remind you of your recent gym gains and to tell that your waist is snatched? Or to remind you that you are amazing and STILL “fine fine” postpartum. Baby where??
5. You remember who you are
It’s something about being around those that really know you that helps you remember who you are too. Friends are our chosen family. The ones that were placed in our lives to both cry and laugh with. So to know them, is to know yourself.
