Team Bookends’ Ultimate Travel Companions

If we had to choose, who would we pick as our ultimate travel companions? Part of the Bookends Beach Party series.

One of my uni pals Rachel. We both have really similar tastes and understand when the other one is hungry/tired/in need of an Aperol Spritz. She’s also very good at taking #plandid Instagram shots. Very important in a friendship. Helena

Apart from my fiancee, I’d pick Richard Ayoade. His Travel Man series is hilarious, and he has the right amount of disdain that I look for in a companion. Aimee

My ultimate travel companion would have to be my boyfriend Ian. Every time I try and organise a holiday with my girlfriends it turns into a complete disaster and somebody forgets a passport or loses their money or injures themselves, so for a relaxing and accident-free holiday I always turn to Ian (even if he does make me do an inordinate amount of outdoor activities). Hannah
