“There is a whole world out there. Grab your backpack, your best friends, and go.”
Friends are people who you can get along and have some fun with; sharing experiences together through good and bad times. And with friends together, we make a lot of plans to do travel goals even on nearby tourist spots in local areas.
But one group of friends brought their travel goals to another level. They recently went viral, after it was shared on social media.
It was five years ago when they planned of traveling to another country in 5 years. Some of us would think that this would be another joke or “puro drawing lang” – which meant planning without doing or leaving the plan without achieving. But this group of friends is different because they were able to achieve more than what they have planned.
Their trip photos, shared on Facebook by Jocel Guden, garnered 40k reactions, more than 60k comments, and over 51k shares from netizens who were so impressed with their travel goals.
The original plan was that, after 5 years, they will travel together to another country as a celebration of five years of friendship. But then, instead of one country they were able to travel to 5 different countries in 18 days.
It was like a dream come true and having the adventure with true friends made this promise not really meant to be broken.

(DIY po ito lahat hehe)
Dream ko talagang makapag ibang bansa para mag OFW pero never in my wildest dream sumagi sa isip ko na imbis trabaho ang ipupunta ko, bakasyon kasama ng barkada ko. Life is truly amazing and full of surprises! Dati akala ko chinacharot lang ako nung bestfriend ko na nagsabing 5 years from now magbabakasyon daw kami sa ibang bansa.
Who would have thought 5 years later magkakasama nga kaming magbabakasyon not only one but 5 countries.
Solid yung barkadang hindi puro drawing yung ganap talagang tinototoo yung pangako kaya masasabi ko lang “Okay ng onti basta lahat tunay.”
Each of them has exerted efforts to push through with their travel goals. They sacrificed to save money and worked hard even on holidays so their bosses would approve their request for leave. Indeed, they have learned to appreciate the beauty of the world during their travel by making priceless memories together.
“Nakita namin yung iba’t ibang culture, kung gaano kaganda tong mundong to at kaysaya ng magkakasama. Sobrang dami mo pa palang dapat makita sa mundong to.
Gala sa umaga, night life sa gabi! Sobrang nasulit ko yung PTO leave ko sa work, talagang pumasok ako ng new year at pasko maapprove lang yung leave hehehehe.
Sana madami pang magbabarkada katulad namin yung makapag travel ng magkakasama sobrang solid!
Lastly, they thanked the people behind their successful travel experience and hoped this will inspire a lot of best friends to also do their travel goals and have their memorable experiences together.
“Thank you SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA, VIETNAM, CAMBODIA, and THAILAND!
“Thank you bff’s sa pag organize ng lahat, tamang bigay lang ako ng passport i.d. sila talaga nag setup ng lahat. tamang palamuti lang ako ng barkada. guys, charot Chester Torres, Kendra Dalida, Ode-Kljiendr Inocencio Demagante, Christine Torres, and Romnick Del Mundo.”
