[Music]
0:04
already cancelled already canell already
0:08
canell I feel like it's a really tricky
0:10
situation when you want to go with a
0:12
group of friends traveling but a lot of
0:14
the time it doesn't work the dynamic
0:17
like you have to be a I always say this
0:19
to be able to know who your real friends
0:20
are you should travel with them first oh
0:22
a great 100% yeah cuz people are so
0:25
different right like I remember going
0:27
traveling in my experience and uh that's
0:30
when I realized a group of my friends
0:32
all of us were different types of
0:34
Travelers where'd you go we went to uh
0:36
New Zealand how many people it was five
0:39
of us what that's a that's a big that's
0:41
a big group of people a big group Trav
0:43
with but I didn't like I didn't think it
0:45
would be an issue until I realized I'm
0:47
the relaxed traveler then my mate was
0:50
like she was the the itinery girl like
0:53
the project manager the planner oh the
0:55
project oh the planner and that made me
0:56
think there are so many different types
0:59
of Travelers and you have to find the
1:01
gang that works right so like let's go
1:05
through them I can speak from self-
1:06
experience I'm the I'm the relaxed one
1:09
so I'm the type of person who will go to
1:10
the beach I will be there for half the
1:12
day and I'm happy you know not figuring
1:15
out what I'm going to do next but do you
1:17
feel like do you feel like the relaxed
1:19
traveler and this is me when I travel
1:20
cuz I'm also a relaxed traveler I feel
1:22
like I never make the most of it so like
1:24
for example I've gone to Hong Kong I've
1:26
gone to Singapore I've gone to Dubai
1:30
I've gone a lot of places right yeah and
1:32
I feel like I haven't been there because
1:35
I just don't do much sleep a lot I eat a
1:39
lot but that's sleeping a lot that's
1:42
good I actually so you treat your travel
1:43
time as a relaxing getaway that's why I
1:46
love cruise
1:48
ships just relax don't have to worry and
1:51
you know what I respect it you've got
1:52
the you've got the relaxed one then
1:54
you've got the food connoisseur right
1:57
that person has to try every single rest
1:59
Resturant or plans a whole trip based
2:02
upon the restaurants around that
2:03
location and they end up the one that's
2:04
get gets sick as well from like the like
2:06
barley belly they got some gastro or
2:09
like TI tummy yeah yeah they're like
2:11
I'll eat the salad don't eat the salad
2:12
eat the salad then you've got the leader
2:15
which every group must have like the
2:17
alpha the alpha they make all the
2:19
decisions they make all the decisions
2:21
they're the itinerary planner they're
2:23
the one that comes in at like 5: in the
2:24
morning and says ring ring wake up
2:27
[ __ ] we've got a plan today and
2:29
they've got like pages of itinerary and
2:31
a colorcoded map and scheduled bath time
2:34
breaks relaxing time breaks I don't mind
2:37
those people you definitely need them
2:38
and and you don't look at them as like a
2:40
hierarchy yeah they're just the one that
2:41
gets [ __ ] done but they don't piss you
2:43
off either because you know that they're
2:44
the leader so when they go no we're
2:46
going here you're like all right but
2:47
then you have the other person who's
2:49
like the over planner too and when they
2:50
make decisions like no we have to do
2:52
this they piss you off because they're
2:54
not the leader does that make sense oh
2:55
yeah they challenge it's like the it's
2:57
the beta it's the beta the the beta that
3:00
challenges the alpha yeah yeah yeah it
3:02
never wins they're the scar the scar
3:05

3:07

3:09

7:22
of learning the yeah yeah so they get
7:25
down there and they're like saying it
