So as I was pondering on what to write for my next article, it hit me–these six whacky characters have such distinct personalities and I’m sure they would have different travel styles. And thus, this F.R.I.E.N.D.S-Themed Travel post was born!

If you’ve never heard of F.R.I.E.N.D.S or have never watched it, uhm, where have you been for the last 14 years? Okay, stop what you’re doing and get yourself on Netflix and prepare for your life to be changed forever.

Even if you’ve never watched the series, I’m sure you’ve seen snippets of these 6 characters somewhere on TV or on the internet. Otherwise, seriously, where have you been?!

So, let’s begin!

Monica Geller

If you look up the definition of Type A in the dictionary, you’d probably find Monica Geller’s face. She’s ultra-organized–I mean, she has 11 categories of towels including every day, guest, fancy guest, etc.–and she’s a clean freak. Like not health department-clean, but Monica-clean! And I can’t think of a city that’s cleaner and more organized than Singapore. Also, she’s a chef and let’s not forget she ate the macaroni off a handmade jewelry box so… let’s just say she’s a foodie. And Singapore is the home of so much good food. Chilli crab, anyone?

I think she would also love to try some authentic Marinara sauce in Italy, hopefully, made by a guy that’s not from Lebanon…

Rachel Green

Rachel is all about the fashion, and she would definitely love nothing more than to shop her socks off in the fashion capitals of the world: Paris, London and Milan. But how about Seoul, South Korea? It’s every woman’s shopping haven, and she’ll literally shop ’til she drops!

I’m sure she’d love to finally get to see Paris even though she was offered the job at Louis Vuitton, but got off the plane last minute, because of Ross. But let’s face it, they’re probably on another break. So how about some French men that won’t steal her wind? Hell yeah.

Phoebe Buffay

Ahh, Phoebe. P as in Phoebe, H as in Hoebe, O as in Oebe, E and Ebe, B as in Bebe, and E as in… ‘ ello there, mate!

Phoebe is one lovable, quirky character. She grew up on the streets and has this really tough exterior to her. She would love Japan for all its quirky inventions and attractions. Besides, there are plenty of cat cafes where she could finally find her ‘smelly cat’. Also, Japan is kinda known for it’s kinky sex culture, which is right up her alley! There are also Pachinko parlors all over the city where she can try her hand at slots, and hopefully not get stalked by an elderly lady again.

Oh, and if she’s ever stuck in NYC again, while everyone else gets to go to London, she might love being a guest in her own city with this non-FOMO guide of New York City!

Chandler Bing

So, Chandler Bing can’t dance, that’s a fact. He could probably do himself a favor and get some Samba dance lessons in Brazil.

Also, all those years of ‘statistical analysis and data reconfiguration’ must have resulted in a lot of tense muscles, so he could do well with a relaxing massage with a view at the Maldives.

Ross Geller

Since Ross loves getting his tan on so much, he would love a tropical destination somewhere like Laos. Plus, extra points since Laos is so steeped in history. The best part is he won’t need to worry about counting Mississippi- lessly!

He might even enjoy a weekend ‘break’ somewhere with fajitas and a margarita in hand in Mexico!

Joey Tribbiani

Joey is all about the food and his women. And there’s probably no better place on the planet than Venezuela–where he’ll find some of the most beautiful women in the world. They’ve won Miss Universe 7 times–that’s the most out of any country in the world! Oh, and the food? There’s so much to eat there won’t be any problems sharing!

So tell me, who is your favorite F.R.I.E.N.D.S character and do you identify with any of them? Let me know in the comments below if you can think of any other desinations you think these characters should go! 😉
