Each group of friends have common personality types that make your crew what it is! We are here to break it down and help you put each personality type to best use when taking a group vacay! Beware, if your reading this and think “Oh we don’t have that person” – it just might be you.

The Mum

This person is essential to planning and taking a group holiday. They are the one who will call you the night before to make sure you’ve packed a spare pair of underpants for each day, because you know “Just in case”. Don’t be fooled by the mum status this person can be male or female, they are the organiser and the worrier the one who will pack the snacks for the journey and make sure you’ve all put on factor before going out in the sun! If your group does not have one – find one! Sniff them out on your next night out, befriend them and take them on your trip. They’ll be the person sitting at the table minding everyone’s handbags and belongings! This person will make sure everything is organised to perfection and nothing is forgotten in the villa when you’re checking out!

The Accountant

Splitting bills, budgeting, settling payments, just UGH, ain’t nobody got time for that! Well you think that, but the accountant in your group will THRIVE off it, they live for this stuff, it gives them a weird kinky sense of importance. Hey, we all have to get our kicks from somewhere. Our advice – the second you all get in the car, decide a budget and hand them the cash, their job is to settle group expenses! Everybody benefits, you don’t have to think about anything and they’re sure to let you know when cash is running dry, but bonus treat, if they are really good at their job you should be good for the trip!

The Paparazzi

Every group has one if not two! You know exactly who they are, if you don’t, it is most definitely you! This is the person who documents life from start to finish, essential for a group vacay as what is fun and adventure if you can’t prove it on your Insta story?! Set them free this trip and allow them to go nuts! They’ll ensure they have a photo of you from every angle in front of anything noteworthy, meaning your bound a collection of snaps highlighting the sights and your good side! But please if this is you remember – nobody wants a hungover selfie taken at 8am after the night before, ENOUGH SUSAN PLEASE!

The Party Animal

We all have them, and we love them. This is the person that makes sure you’ll have enough and more booze that you won’t run out, not once! Like a sixth sense they’ll know the closest wine store, the best bar for a drink at the best prices, they can feel a Happy Hour before you see it. It’s magic really. However it’s not all fun and games, this is the person you will be dragging out of the beach party at 4am while they’re crying “I Don’t want this night to end” ENOUGH CAROL IT’S 4AM.

The Adventure Junkie

Like the alarm clock you left at home, they’ll be the one knocking on your door at 6am the morning after you dragged the party animal home at 4am. They are bathed, dressed and ready to lead you on a day of exercise and adventure. I know what you’re thinking – NOT NOW FELICIA! But we promise you will be forever grateful for that cycle around Polonnaruwa, even if you hate your life a little for the first couple of hours, drink water, we promise it helps!

The Drama Queen/King

Literally everything you will encounter is either AMAZING or UGHHHHHH, there is no middle ground. We have no use for them, but we promise every group has them. Put them in the back of the van turn the music up and allow them to entertain themselves. NOBODY IS LISTENING KAREN!

The Foodie

We all have stomachs to feed and this person will make sure your tummy is satisfied at all times. Need we say anymore, they are the life giver of the group, completely and utterly essential! They’ll speak to literally EVERYONE around to make sure they do not miss out on the best fried rice the area has to offer. If there is nothing of importance available they will whip up a storm in the kitchen to make sure nobody goes hungry, well mainly themselves but here look, don’t complain we all reap the rewards of that hungry hippo!

So, we’ve covered the big ones. Do you know which one you are? Or are there any we have missed? Let us know in the comments section below!
