The Why of Friendly Trips.
Let’s face it: making friends is getting harder
When we were kids, making friends was easy. All it took was approaching someone and saying “Wanna play?” But now, with telecommuting, social media, and the fast-paced rhythm of life, it seems like there are fewer opportunities to meet new people. We spend our days busy, glued to screens, and when we want to expand our social circle, we realize it’s not as easy as it once was.
And we know this because we’re also Friendly Travellers. We also feel that need to expand our circle, meet new people, and share authentic experiences. We firmly believe that friendships are one of life’s greatest treasures, and that traveling is one of the best ways to create them.
That’s why Friendly Trips was born, not just as a travel agency, but as a community of traveler friends. We don’t just organize trips, we create opportunities to connect with like-minded people and share unforgettable moments.
If you’ve ever felt like you wanted to travel, but also meet people to share the adventure with, here’s the solution.
From travel agency to community of travelers and friends
At Friendly Trips, we don’t just want to offer trips. While we do offer traditional catalog trips, our true goal is to become a community of travelers who share experiences and create friendships.
That’s why we focus on the Friendly Trips we create, group trips specifically designed by us to foster connection among people. We want trips to be the perfect excuse to meet people, form a group that always has plans, and keep the community alive all year long.
Friendly Trips is not just a travel agency, it’s a club of traveler friends where every shared experience strengthens the bonds between its members.
Friendly Trips: much more than a trip, an opportunity to connect
We know that travel can be a transformative experience, but when shared with like-minded people, it becomes something even more special.
✅ Before the trip, we organize meetups and gatherings to break the ice and start getting to know the group.
✅ During the trip, we mix adventure and activities that foster connection: group dinners, scavenger hunts, team challenges, and shared experiences.
✅ After the trip, we keep meeting up, organizing getaways and events so the friendship continues.
Our groups are up to a maximum of 25 people, the ideal number to create a close atmosphere where no one feels lost. Here, the goal isn’t just to visit destinations, but to live them surrounded by new friends.
More than trips: a community with plans all year long
We know that not everyone can travel every month, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait months to reconnect with the group. That’s why Friendly Trips is a community with ongoing activities.
📍 Weekend getaways, because sometimes you don’t need to go far to have a great experience.
📍 Meetups and afterworks, because it’s always a good time to expand your circle.
📍 Thematic activities, such as scavenger hunts, wine tastings, hiking, or cooking workshops.
📍 Participatory events, where any member of the community can propose an idea and we’ll organize it.
It’s not just about traveling, it’s about sharing and being part of a group of traveler friends.
How are Friendly Trips chosen? You decide
One of the things that makes Friendly Trips special is that we all choose the trips together. We want our community to be an active part of creating new adventures.
🗳️ Proposals on social media, where we ask what destinations interest the most.
📝 Pre-registrations, to see how many people are interested in each trip.
🗺️ Final offer, with dates, itinerary, and fixed price.
👥 Group formation, with pre-trip meetups to start the experience before departure.
Each year, there will be more Friendly Trips and more community involvement. The goal is to become the largest community of traveler friends, where each experience strengthens the connection between its members.
