9. “ The fastest way to make a friend for life is to travel with a stranger ” – Unknown

It might sound crazy but I actually agree with this!

I met my friend and fellow blogger Hanna of Solar Powered Blonde in Marrakech , four months later we ended up travelling together for two months to Sri Lanka , Thailand and the Philippines , and it was one of the best trips of my life!

Everywhere we went people thought we had known each other for years. It’s a friendship I will always cherish, made all the stronger by the bond we formed while travelling.

12. “ One of the great things about travel is that you find out how many good, kind people there are. ” – Edith Wharton

At a time when every day that we turn on the TV we only see bad news, this is extremely true. Sometimes we can’t travel and have to unfortunately only try travel experiences at home , but it’s important to remember the real thing.

Funny quotes about travelling with friends

After the deep motivational quotes, it’s time for some funny ones! After all, travelling with friends is always fun, and it’s only fair that these travel quotes reflect that.

24. “ I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them. ” – Mark Twain

Travel is the ultimate relationship test! If you can survive a trip with someone, you can rest assured that you will get along fine from then on. If you don’t survive the trip together, they weren’t your person anyway!

28. “ Never go on trips with anyone you do not love. ” – Ernest Hemingway

29. “ No road is too long with good company .” – Turkish proverb

Adventure with friends quotes

Is there anything better than going on an adventure with your mates? These adventure quotes are specific to living your travel bucket list with your friends.

31. “ Sharing adventures means enjoying them 100% more. ” – Unknown

32. “ Everyone needs this friend that calls and says; ‘Get dressed, we’re going on an adventure! ’” – Unknown

I’ll admit I’m that friend. I will regularly call my friends and say things like, “ Hey, fancy a road trip to Portugal this summer ?” but the crucial thing is knowing which friends will answer “ Sure! Why not ?”

33. “ A good friend listens to your adventures. Your best friend makes them with you. ” – Unknown

34. “ Good times and crazy friends make the best memories. ” – Unknown

Photo of three girls hugging each other and enjoying the view over the harbour of Hvar in Croatia with text overlay saying

35. “ When you get lost in a really strange place, nothing is more comforting than finding your friend whom you trust and can show the way. ” – Toba Beta

I guess this one isn’t explicitly about travelling with your mates, but it is about making connections on the road.

It’s from one of the most epic travel movies (inspired on an awesome travel book ), which inspired me (and many others like me) to visit Thailand !

40. “ Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends. ” – Maya Angelou

By: Author Sylvia

Posted on Last updated: May 11, 2022

Are you looking for the best travel quotes with friends? You came to the right place. 

For me, traveling is not laying on the beach sipping cocktails. Although that can sometimes be lots of fun and relaxing too.

For me traveling is all about seeking new adventures and making travel memories. And these adventures become even more fun when you can share them with a good friend.

That’s why I wanted to share this list with 25 of the best travel quotes with friends.

So they can inspire you to travel more and share adventures and memories with a good friend.

Let’s be honest.

A journey becomes even more beautiful when you can share it.

1.“Life was meant for great adventures and close friends.”

Travel quote: Life was meant for great adventures and close friends

We start this list with one of my favorite travel with friends quotes because lets be honest, what do you need more in life than a good friend and a great adventure?

Our adventures brought us already to all 7 continents. One of the most memorable adventures we experienced was our cruise to Antarctica.   This is a continent that cannot be compared with anything else. 

But we also have great memories of our travels to Japan , Korea , and Borneo. 

Recently we discovered the Azores . At this moment we haven’t yet planned our next trip which is quite strange for us.

A complete guide to the Azores islands.

Where is your next adventure taking you? 

2. “A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.”  – Tim Cahill

Although we’re not keen on organized tours or any other form of mass tourism, except the occasional cruise to spoil ourselves, we are no hermits. 

We love to socialize and we always have a great time when we meet locals or other travelers during our trips.

With social networks like Facebook, it’s easier than ever to stay in touch after your trip.

The locals were very sociable in the Azores but in bigger cities, it is often not as easy to make a connection. 

That’s why we love websites like HiHiGuide where you arrange private tours with locals in major cities around the world.

Such tours are really great to learn more about the city, the culture of the country and the habits of the people.

3. “I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” – Mark Twain

This is so true.

While traveling together you learn to know someone’s flaws.

Spending 24 hours with someone can be quite challenging at times but it will also create memories that last for a lifetime. 

4. “There is a whole world out there. Pack your backpack, your best friend, and go.”

thoughts on travel friends

Although we don’t travel with a backpack anymore I definitely agree with this travel quote. 

Impulsive decisions are not always good but they can create really memorable vacations.

I still remember how we changed plans last-minute on a friend’s trip.  Initially, we wanted to stay close to home but because the weather was so bad we packed some clothes, jumped in the car and drove for several hours until we found some sun. 

We didn’t know where we were going but we had the best time.

The world is so big and there are so many places to discover that we’re always looking forward to our next trip. 

It seems like our bucket list is only getting longer…

5. “A good friend listens to your adventures. Your best friend makes them with you.”

This is one of my favorite best friend quotes. Nothing is better for friendship than making shared memories. 

It doesn’t necessarily need to be a long vacation.  You can just take your best friend on a city trip.  It will create a lifelong bond and years later you will still exchange great memories of your adventures together.

Which is the last adventure that you experienced and with whom?

6. “Friends that travel together, stay together.”

I do not fully agree with this traveling with this enjoying with friends quote. 

If you do not have the same idea about a vacation, it can sometimes be very disappointing to go on a trip with a friend.

Even to such an extent that this can put pressure on your friendship afterward.

So when you plan to go on a trip with friends, make good arrangements in advance about what you expect from the trip.

Good agreements make good friends and it will avoid that you or your friend will be disappointed and the dream journey turns into a nightmare.

7. “Sharing adventures means enjoying them 100% more.”

Everything is more fun in life if you can share it.

This is even psychologically proven. You’re more emotionally touched by the things you experience when a friend is going through the same experience.

All humans love to share their experiences. 

Ideally, with a friend who is traveling with you but it also explains why we love to share so many pictures of our trips on Instagram and Facebook.

thoughts on travel friends

8. “Sometimes all you need is a great friend and thirst for adventure.”

We certainly have thirst for adventure…

Kris and I dream about seeing polar bears in the wild, we have plans for an epic road trip through Australia and New Zealand, we still haven’t seen the northern lights and although we already spend a night in the desert we wonder how it would be to sleep under a starry sky instead of a tent …

I can go on for hours. 

What adventures are still on your bucket list and more importantly with whom do you want to experience them? 

 9. “There is an unspoken bond you create with the friends you travel with.” – Kristen Sarah

When traveling together you make collective memories that are definitely creating a special bond.

I already had some amazing vacations with friends and I can for sure testify that traveling with friends is much more fun than traveling solo. 

I tend to enjoy the places I visit and the things I do much more when I can share them with my friends.

Just think about some amazing experiences you had in the past.  There’s a big chance that this was a moment that some of your closest companions were at your side.

Being 24/7 with each other can be challenging at times but it will also bring you closer together.

10. “You can pack for every occasion, but a good friend will always be the best thing you could bring!” 

thoughts on travel friends

This is a perfect friendship travel quote to write on a small card and give to your best friend as a sign of your friendship.

11. “True friends never apart maybe in distance never in heart.” – Helen Keller

I have a few friends that I don’t see that often, but when we see each other we always have the best time and it feels like we saw each other just last week.

12. “If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far go together.”

This is supposed to be an African proverb but it’s not sure in what context it was originally used. 

Today it is often used in a business context referring to successful companies that are the result of true teamwork.

It does apply to travel as well. 

I don’t mind traveling solo if it’s just for a few days and my itinerary is jam-packed for each and every minute. 

I’m however reluctant to leave on a long trip without any friends. 

I think loneliness would start to creep in really fast.

13. “When traveling life’s journey, it’s good to have a friend’s hand to hold on to.” 

thoughts on travel friends

Life is not always perfect, inevitable you will encounter some bumps in the roads.

It’s good to have a friend by your side. 

Not only for the setbacks but also during the good times. 

True friends share your successes and are also there when things don’t go so well.

Good friends are priceless and must be cherished.

14. “Only the people you don’t know well enough seem normal. Every person you know well enough is odd, weird, and different. This is called friendship!”

I just laughed when I read this quote and at the same time asked myself whether my best friends would think so too.

Maybe I should ask them or maybe I rather don’t know. 😀

The question is whether they would dare to answer this honestly but I think that true friends should be able, to tell the truth and tell each other just how crazy they think you’re. 😀

15. “There are no strangers in this world, only friends I haven’t met yet.”

This is a great attitude that I absolutely agree with and try to apply daily. 

If you approach strangers in this way and you set negative prejudices aside you will often be positively surprised. 

The most inspirational travel proverbs.

16. “We are all travelers in the wilderness of the world & the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –  Robert Louis Stevenson

thoughts on travel friends

This is so true.  The world is such an intriguing and complex environment.  When we are young we have our parents to guide us but then there comes a point when we’re on our own.

Even though everybody wants to be independent there’re always moments when you need to rely on somebody else.  Sometimes we are just looking for some good advice, at other times we need some help.

This is especially true when you’re abroad in a country you don’t know with a language you don’t speak. 

We traveled independently through China and we must agree that we underestimated how challenging this would be.  We often were completely helpless.  There were no English-speaking ticket offices in the train stations and to our surprise we didn’t meet that many people who spoke English during our trip.  

But those people who spoke English really did anything they possibly could to help us.  They never took advantage of us, they never asked anything in return. 

They just seemed happy to help us.

They acted as an honest friend and that’s something I will never forget about our trip.

17. “The more I traveled, the more I realized fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” – Shirley MacLaine

If there’s one thing that I learned from my trips it is that most people are helpful and will be happy to help if they can.  This is how we are born. 

Unfortunately, some people make abuse of this and we become cautious.  When a stranger asks us for help we sometimes tend to make something of it. It’s a pity that our helpful attitude is challenged by the abuse of a few.

If we could set our fear aside we would be able to make more friends.

18. “Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.” –  Izaak Walton

As they say, time flies when you are having fun. 

19. “Life is about doing things that don’t suck with people who don’t suck.”

thoughts on travel friends

Wouldn’t it be fun if all days were like this?

This is a little too good to be true but the proverb is absolutely true.  We should make the best of each and every other day.  

That means that we should spend our time on things that make us happy and that we should surround ourselves with people that make us better.

Or like they say in another proverb: “Life is too short to be anything but happy!”.

20. “Everyone needs this friend that calls and says, “Get dressed, we’re going on an adventure.”

Sometimes you just need that little push.

Although I’m always looking forward to a new adventure I notice how I sometimes postpone the booking. 

And the more I postpone it the bigger the resistance becomes to finally take the step.

That’s why I’m so happy with my friends who are always ready to join me on my next adventures.  

Afterward, I always wonder why I was so reluctant at first because it always turned out to be so much fun.  And it is of course always so much more fun with your friends around.

How about you? Do you prefer to stay at home or are you the person that calls and says get dressed we”re going on an adventure? 

21. “Travel is better with friends.”

This is certainly true, or at least 99% of the cases.  I personally only had great experiences during the trips with my friends and so does my husband.

But everybody knows some horror stories about friendships or relationships being destroyed during holidays. 

Don’t let this scare you.  As long as you make good arrangements in advance you will have the best time of your life.

Do you know such a horror story? 

22. “As with any journey, whom you travel with is more important than the destination.”

thoughts on travel friends

The experience is indeed largely made by the person with whom you share it. 

The destination can be extremely beautiful but the experience can be completely ruined if you’re there in bad company.

And this proverb also has a second meaning. 

Traveling is not only about checking things off the bucket list. 

It’s also about enjoying the moments and sharing them with those you love.

23. “Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” – Maya Angelou

This traveling with friends quote reminds me of a lot of a story we experienced when we were traveling through Vietnam a few years ago. 

We were hiking and accompanied by a local tribe that didn’t speak English.

Suddenly one of our fellow hikers slipped out in the mud and she desperately tried not to fall. It was really funny to see how she alternately was gliding forward and backward. 

Read also:  Amazing destinations to visit in Europe in winter. 

Once she had regained her balance everybody started laughing including the ladies of the local tribe. 

This really shows how all people are the same and even when we come from completely different backgrounds, and we don’t speak the same language, we still have more in common than we think.

This event even broke the ice. 

Before this happened we had no contact with the local tribe but when we continued onward we were helping each other to cross the muddy parts and we tried to do some basic conversation.

24. “You and me, we are more than friends. We are like a small travel gang!”

This is one of the most beautiful travel with friends captions that I found and it is absolutely true. 

Once you’ve gone on a vacation with a friend and you have that special bond you really form a small travel gang. 

Who’s in your travel gang?

25. “I get a friend to travel with me… I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It’s hard to be alone.” –  Leonardo DiCaprio

thoughts on travel friends

I completely understand Leonardo. 

Humans are social beings and while some need more social contact than others we all love to be among other people. 

Spending time with friends will help relax those with stressful lives.

I had a great time putting together this list with travel memories quotes.  It reminded me again that every once in a while I need to spend time with my friends, preferably in an exotic vacation spot.  

I also decided that I will use one of these quotes every once in a while to show them how much I appreciate our friendship.

I hope that these quotes will help you to do the same.

25 Most Inspiring Quotes for Travel With Friends

The Best Travel With Friends Quotes

Whether you are excitedly awaiting your next trip with your best friends, or you are looking for that perfect Instagram caption for your summer vacations photos, travel quotes about friends always help t o inspire.  That is why I created a curated list of some of the most inspirational travel quotes for friends.  

While many authors are unknown, some of the greats like Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway are represented as well as current travel content creators like Kristen Sarah from Hopscotch the Globe.  Before we fully get into our travel with friends quotes, let us talk about what it is actually like to go on a trip with friends. 

While I am a huge proponent of traveling solo –you have the highest highs and the lowest lows — I can’t even begin to explain the excited feeling I get when I meet up with friends after that time alone.  Drinking butterbeer at the Warner Bros. Studio tour or hiking down a large gorge by yourself is always more fun with a friend.

Sometimes those friends may not even be that when you start your trip!  One of the most fun vacations I had was a  trip to Greece with a very close friend at the time and two girls from Spain who I had never met before.  It was incredible getting to know new people and sharing those vacation memories forever.  We loved discovering differences in cultures and I appreciated that they could drive manual 🙂  

On a different solo trip, I was sitting by the bank of the Venice canals and saw a couple of girls nearby chatting.  I boldly went up to them, said hello, and we ended up completely clicking.  We traveled from Venice to Florence together and then met up in Barcelona a few weeks later.

It is not always easy to travel with someone, but you will learn pretty quick into the trip if you are well-suited to do so.  Twos, threes, and fours each come with their own set of pros and cons.  With two, it is a more intimate group with less decision makers.  If you don’t want to do the same activity, it is easy to each do your own thing and then meet back up after.  However, you may get sick of each other more easily than with a larger group, so it may behoove you to stay at a hostel where you can meet new people if you are traveling for awhile.  

Threes are always tricky because there is a balance issue. One many feel left out by the other two.  In order to mitigate this problem, be honest with yourself…do you like both friends equally? Make sure you openly discuss plans beforehand so that everyone is clear on the agenda.  

With foursomes, there are going to be alottttt of different opinions circling.  It might make sense to have a different person take charge each day or a different person plan each city so that everyone can get in what they want to do and see on the trip.  It is also much easier to split into twos, if the group is divided on what they wish to do on the trip. 

Let’s get on with these travel with friends quotes now shall we?

Travel With Friends Quotes To Share With Your Adventure Buddies

Last Updated on June 14, 2020

Even if you’ve known someone for years, you can see a different side of your buddy when you take a trip with them!

I’ve known relationships to be permanently damaged by holiday fights. Even close friends can get on your nerves if you are thrown into close quarters with no escape.

But more usually friends that travel together bond in a deeper way. That’s true whether it’s people you meet on the road or friends from back home that tag along on your journey.

When we are fortunate enough to go on an adventure together these are often the times where we form lasting memories. Trips with friends rank right up there among the special moments of life.

If you go on a journey with friends you’ll form connections through shared experiences that can last a lifetime.

A travel friend is like a travel journal that talks back. Even after years have gone by you’ll be able to say… “remember that time in….” and bring all the memories of your vacation flooding back.

So you get more value from vacations if you go with a friend or partner. Not only will you have more fun at the time, but you can relive the experiences, again and again, sipping wine and reminiscing.

Let’s take a look at some of the most popular travel with friends quotes. A good quotation often says a lot with few words hopefully these examples will give you some quote inspiration for that Instagram post or card you are writing.

Inspirational Quotes About Traveling With Friends

These are my favorite quotes about adventurous journies with friends. These are great quotes to use to caption photos with friends to provide a meaningful message to commemorate a special moment.

“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” — Tim Cahill

Tim Cahill is a travel writer. He’s a founding editor of Outsize magazine and he coined one of the most popular quotes about traveling with friends.

Next time you remember a road trip or an adventure think about the number of friends you made rather than the distance you traveled.

Maybe it’s not always practical but there is deep wisdom in this quote somewhere!

“A good friend listens to your adventures. A best friend makes them with you.” — Unknown

This is so true. Good friends aren’t just people you tell your stories to, they live your life with you right by your side.

“I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” –Mark Twain

As usual, Mark Twain has it spot on. Travel is the acid test of friendships. If you are not sure where you stand with someone you’ll know for sure after you’ve taken a vacation with them.

“Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.”  – Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemmingway thought you should always travel with someone you know you love.

Perhaps this is too negative. Love, whether platonic or romantic, can bloom when traveling through shared experiences and adventures.

“You can pack for every occasion, but a good friend will always be the best thing you could bring” — Unknown

Solo travel is becoming more and more popular and rightly so. More and more people are drunk and intoxicated on the delights of exploring this wonderful planet.

But travel often comes with a cost, the hangover of loneliness, many travelers bury these feelings and plow on with more travel, more countries, more experiences, hair-of-the-dog style.

Friends that you meet on the road can be fun, but often the relationships formed are fleeting and once you realize this there can be a sense of emptiness even when not alone.

The antidote to all this misery is to make sure you travel with a really good friend. Someone whom you know you’ll keep in touch with and be able to share stories with years down the line.

“We are all travellers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.“ — Robert Louis Stevenson

If you can’t take a great friend traveling with you, the next best thing is to find a great friend somewhere out there on the road.

We often travel to see the sights, to observe the culture and to drink the local food and wine. In short, we travel for experiences. But perhaps the greatest experience you’ll have on your travels is the formation of a new friendship!

“One of the great things about travel is that you find out how many good, kind people there are.” — Edith Wharton

It’s natural for us humans to be a little afraid of strangers, and the further away people are from us both in distance and culturally this fear can increase.

But once we get out there out of our comfort zone and travel among strangers we see that they are not really so different from us. And if we are lucky one of those strangers might become a real friend.

“The man who goes alone can start today, but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.” — Henry David Thoreau

I suppose this is a valid downside of traveling with friends. You do lose the independence that you get from traveling alone.

But cmon, isn’t it better to have someone with you to share the view at the top of the mountain?

“As with any journey, who you travel with can be more important than your destination” — Gossip Girl

We are social animals, and travel itself isn’t inherently very social. But if you combine travel with friendship then you have a great recipe for positive experiences that enrich our lives.

“Life was meant for good friends and great adventures” — Unknown

What is the meaning of life? What’s it all about? It’s a hard question but I’d think to go on adventures with friends is an essential part of any life well lived.

“Friends that travel together, stay together.”

I’m not sure how true this quote is. I’ve seen people fall out of friends because of spending too much time together. Often on vacation expectations are high and arguments can start. But then maybe the friendships that don’t survive a vacation were never true friendships in the first place.

“If you want to go fast go alone. If you want to go far go together.” — African Proverb

It’s true, baggage slows you down and traveling companions are a form of baggage.

But while we strongly advocate traveling light we don’t advise traveling with no baggage at all.

It’s about figuring out what is valuable and what can be left behind without any serious consequences. Traveling without friends has significant consequences and in most cases, friends are worth packing for your trip! Figuratively!

“Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.” — Izaak Walton

Good company improves everything.

Long boring journeys are shrunk if you traveling with a friend who you can talk with.

You board, the train or plane, start chatting and before you know it… you’ve arrived!

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” – Maya Angelou

Compare this quote by Maya Angelou with the one by Edith Wharton. They have a similar sentiment. In simple language, traveling is a great way to make friends. By seeing directly how other people live we become less wary of them and feel more warmth towards them.

Sometimes all you need is a great friend and thirst for adventure.”

Yep, friends + adventure is a great recipe for a flourishing life.

“Everyone needs this friend that calls and says, “Get dressed, we’re going on an adventure.”

This quote conjures up images of a hastily organized road trip. You know… the best kind!

“The more I traveled, the more I realized fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” — Shirley MacLaine

Shirley MacLaine is singing from the same hymnsheet as Edith Wharton and Maya Angelou. Travel breaks down barriers between people.

“As soon as I saw you, I knew a grand adventure was about to happen.” – Winnie The Pooh

Winnie The Pooh was full of innocent wisdom. Don’t wait for the vacation to begin before the adventure starts. Good friends have this attitude, we make our own adventure right, right now, as we travel through life together!

“Traveling in the company of those we love is home in motion.” — Leigh Hunt

If you take a friend with you when you travel you take a piece of home with you. Like they say “home is where the heart is”, so if you travel with a friend that you love you’ll feel like you’ve got your home with you.

“Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” – Albert Camus

True friendship is based on equality and mutual respect. When we travel with friends we must remember that nobody is the leader or the follower, we travel together side by side.

“It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood, A beautiful day for a neighbor, Would you be mine? Could you be mine?” — Fred Rogers

Aviation and affordable travel has shrunk the world.

If we are now living in a global village isn’t everyone your neighbor?

Wherever you are traveling in the world try to see the people you meet as neighbors and potential friends. Your life will be richer for it!

The Verdict

I hope you’ll agree these are some of the best travel quotes about friends. Share them with your travel buddies the next time you are persuading them to take a trip with you! They are also great for Instagram captions or other social media photos.

People say that travel makes you richer, but it’s connections you make with other people in life that make you truly prosperous.

You can’t beat a trip with friends to help your relationships grow and flourish.

Our favourite inspirational travel quotes have encouraged us to travel with abandon over the years. Perhaps they will do the same for you…

For us, there is no such thing as luxury travel; travel is, by default, a luxury. It is a privilege provided by the country of our birth, a privilege that many are not as fortunate to enjoy.

Sometimes, we have to pinch ourselves at just how ridiculous our lives have become: an ex-teacher and jobbing writer travelling the world for a living. It is absurd, it is astonishing, it is luxury.

For me, #13 is one of the main reasons why I love to explore different places and cultures. There may be tensions between different countries, but it is really the ordinary people who are super friendly and welcoming make mankind special.

I feel the best test of a relationship, whether romantic or platonic, is a trip. So well said, Ernest Hemingway!

Friday 16th of October 2020

Even though I travel 99% solo, number 10 really resonates with me. Some of my closest friends I have met while travelling, since I am alone I develop a close connection with them which makes it extremely difficult to leave especially not knowing if I will see them again.

I completely understand that. We have made some great friends during our time traveling also!

45. “Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” – Mark Jenkins

49. “We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.” ― Pico Iyer

Our Feng Shui expert explains how to attract positive travel experiences and 'helpful friends' through your home

H and on heart, I love the impact of activating the travel and helpful friends area, whether in my own home or in those of my clients around the world. This is a Feng Shui area that does exactly what it says on the tin. It opens the opportunity to adventure near and far while drawing the positive energy of those regarded as ‘helpful’ people into your life, just precisely when you need them.

When we talk about ‘helpful friends’, these aren’t necessarily the friends you socialize with or have known since you were at school. These are the people who turn up unexpectedly and with perfect synchronicity when a pipe burst, the tire is flat, the kids need a costume, or you can’t make change for the car park.

‘Helpful friends’ are often strangers who, once the situation is resolved, you never see again. For this reason, some describe their presence as ‘angelic intervention’, although most of the helpful friends you’ll meet are very human and practical in the precise way you require.  

For some reason, you’ll never quite understand; they were simply in the right place at the right time. From an external perspective, it might appear to be coincidence or good luck. Still, it’s remarkable how the coincidences just keep happening for those who consciously welcome positive energy into their lives by using Feng Shui in their homes .

Activating the Feng Shui travel and helpful friends area in your home

The Travel element is another joyful aspect of using Feng Shui in the home, from finding yourself in blissful new destinations to having a smooth journey to visit relatives an hour away or getting a seat on the subway, the travel energy offers an additional level of support and reassurance. 

I’m not suggesting you won’t ever experience hiccups, but it does change your thinking about delays and traffic jams.  My recent experience of having a flight canceled and being rerouted at very short notice might have seemed like a problem. Still, I relaxed in the knowledge that everything was likely happening for a good reason. My faith was justified when I received a Business class upgrade and arrived relaxed and refreshed at my home airport 30 minutes before my originally scheduled time of arrival.  Knowing my home is energetically supporting my travel plans whenever and wherever I go makes life so much more enjoyable.

So, how can you boost the good vibes in your Travel and Helpful Friends area?

Find the Northwest part of your home

There are nine Feng Shui areas or ‘gua’s in a property .  If you visualize a tic-tac-toe grid laid across the floor plan of your home, you’ll get the idea. Each of the nine areas relates to a particular area of life, and these are defined by the compass direction they face:

Centre – Health and Wellbeing

Southwest – Relationships

Southeast - Money

North – Career

East – Family

South – Reputation

West – New Beginnings

Northeast – Learning

Northwest – Travel and Helpful Friends

Take a smartphone compass, stand in the center of your home, and notice which direction the NW (short for Northwest) is found. If you have two or more floors, each will have a Northwest to play with, unless your home is an irregular shape, in which case feel free to contact me for advice unique to your situation.

Have a close look around the space.  What are you keeping there? Is it cluttered or minimalist, what art do you have on the walls, how do you feel about the décor items – does what you see at face value represent the life you want for yourself?  Be prepared for some surprise revelations when you observe your space with fresh eyes.

As many popular TV shows attest, clutter is always going to compromise your home and your physical and emotional well-being. For this reason, I’d like you to consider decluttering and releasing anything that makes you unhappy or does not fit with your desire for a happier, more uplifting lifestyle.

Once you have cleared anything unsupportive from the Northwest area and spruced up the energy with a spring clean and some fresh air, it’s time to think about what you really want—now and in the future.

Activating the feng shui 'helpful friends' area

One of the women who joined an online Feng Shui teaching with me earlier this year shared her ‘win’ after hearing me speak back in 2023.  After months of waiting for an electrician to undertake essential work on her home, she was very stressed and sick of the mess. During yet another sleepless night of worrying, Janet followed my fun suggestion for drawing in the energy of a particular tradesman. 

She placed an image of a friendly electrician in the Northwest, expressed her gratitude to the energy of her home for having the work successfully completed, and went back to bed. Unusually for her, she went straight to sleep. The following morning, the electrician called, apologized for the delay, and arranged to start the work. She was thrilled and couldn’t wait to share the good news of how such a simple act of intention reaped the results she wanted.

Other people have similar success with lumberjacks, car mechanics, babysitters, dental appointments, restaurant reservations, and plumbers, among many other happy outcomes. These are just some of many coincidental ‘good luck’ occurrences in Feng Shui homes , which are also easily available to you if you’re willing to activate the positive vibe.

A picture isn’t the only way to boost the 'helpful friends' energy. Another option is to write a short note describing the aspects of the person or people you require, or even more specifically, when and where you need them. Treat it as a concise job description, and be very clear about what you want with no room for misinterpretation. “Please provide a trustworthy, unobtrusive cleaner or housekeeper who will do a great job of making my home shine and respects my standards and schedule”  has worked brilliantly many times in homes around the world.  

You can add in any specific details like ironing, shopping, or concierge services if those are especially important. My client Michelle took her request a step further and included cat-sitting. She was delighted to connect with a local lady who has become an integral part of the household, moving in to provide wraparound care for the feline friends whenever the international news media correspondent packs her bags for an assignment.

You can ask your helpful friends to step up for any reason, big or small. When I want to make an appointment, I make a note of the time and day that suits me best, write it down, and then pick up the phone. Most of the time I get exactly what I’ve requested because my call ‘just happens’ to coincide with a cancellation. Call it coincidence, law of attraction, fate, whatever you like.  I call it activating my helpful friends.

But what about the instances when a situation occurs out of the blue? Perhaps you find yourself in need of a few minutes extra to get to the platform to catch the train, a parking space, a tall shopper to reach something off the top shelf, a willing weightlifter to carry a suitcase or pram up some stairs, or someone who hands you a safety pin when you have a wardrobe disaster right before an interview...  Ask!

“Hey Helpful Friends, I could really do with a ……. right now”  is a great start. You don’t need to say it aloud, in your head or under your breath is just fine. Then, be open to the help that comes along.  

When you are clear about what you want and nothing is getting in your way at home, you’ll be astonished at how often helpful friends come into your life. Just remember two things: be careful what you wish for and always say  ‘thank you’  afterwards.

How about boosting travel?

The most ridiculously easy way to do this is to put pictures of the places you would like to visit in the Northwest of your home. It’s that simple, but just to be clear, I’m not suggesting you throw an entire stack of brochures in a corner and leave them to gather dust, that’s not going to work. Instead, you have to invest some intention and feng shui magic in the process. To do this, focus on places you really want to visit, what you might do there, and if there is a particular time of year you’d like to go – Cherry Blossom time in Japan, for example – then choose your image to reflect your wishes rather than contradict them.

There’s no point putting a picture of a beautiful beach in Turkey if what you actually want to do is attend the Turkish Grand Prix. Get specific and invest time locating the perfect visual representation of your desire. You could also add a globe or atlas, books about the region, or hobbies you would like to indulge in while you are there. Chris loves to dive and doesn’t care where he does it as long as the water is warm and clear, so his northwest features photos of coral reefs and tropical fish. 

Can't decide where you want to travel? Try displaying multiple bucket-list destinations using a sleek picture frame set such as this. 

If you're manifesting travels to far flung places you may as well go all out. This stylish woven photo frame makes us think of sleek beach huts in a tropical paradise. 

Activate the power of your travel area with this charming desktop globe. The white marble base and wood frame make it a stylish addition to any home office space. 

In our apartment, we have one of those collage frames with space for multiple separate images, and we update the pictures each year.  Where the northwest is in a shared part of the home (kitchen, sitting room etc.) this can have its drawbacks as you may inadvertently find other members of the family manifest the experience before you do, jetting off to Venice, Costa Rica or whatever destination you had in mind, while the closest you get is the rather galling job of chauffeuring them to the airport. For this reason, it pays to be absolutely clear about your intention and, if necessary, quietly activate the northwest area of your bedroom or another space private to you.  Even if you tuck your pictures out of sight, they are still working for you, but seeing them every day is even better.

Feng Shui is a multi-faceted approach to a happier, healthier, more enjoyable and successful lifestyle. Once you understand how each area of the home can support and enhance what’s happening for you and permanently discard the clutter and detritus holding you back, you make space to experience the good fortune missing from so many homes.

Now, I’m off to my northwest area to manifest a relaxed and enjoyable flight to my next destination!
