Move along Boy Scouts! Who runs the world? Girls. Meet Claude, Gayle, and Aira the fearless girl squad on the planet who is conquering popular destinations around the world. Call them #fabulous, #funny, #pretty, #fashionable and #adventurous, they perfectly defined ultimate #squadgoals. Enough of hashtags, they inspire millennials through their attractive social media posts. Every girl wishes they were part of this squad.
I was scrolling down my Facebook page when I saw several travel photos of these girls captioned “#SquadGoals”, “#GirlPower”, and “#TravelGoals”. I started stalking them and checked their social media accounts. I like how they master the art of a perfect Instagram angle and filter combination of their photos.
Since then, I’m a fan. I’ve been travelling solo but it doesn’t mean I’m lonely. I would have my travel squad embark on an adventure with me. However, most of them are too busy to take time out. Ok I mean it, I’m jealous of their friendship because my squad isn’t “fabenturous” (fabulous+adventurous) as them. I just realize how important strong squads are that you need to work out instead of working on your six packs.
Every group of friend dream of travelling the world. These cool chicks are the perfect example of a dream squad. Working together at the same job as flight attendants, they always make sure to go on a trip at least once a year. Together they make memories of a lifetime. For them, there’s no reason to be bored in life. They are crazy and silly but they’ll make the time pass by quickly.
You can imagine how incredible it would feel embarking on a journey with your favourite friends and start a new adventure. The purpose of squad goals is not always to show off your group of friends special in some way but to undertake awe-inspiring journeys. Your squad is there to assemble the pieces of your life together to become the best version you can possibly be. Also, squads aren’t just a hashtag of the moment; they bring colours to your life.
Recently, I got the chance to interview them and talk about their adventures along the road. It was such a great conversations. I admire them. They are meant to be together to cheer and laugh together. Discover more from them through the following:

What do you love about traveling?
I guess it’s a sort of feeling that we get when we travel, the thought of stepping on a place where we only dream of in photos, turning dreams into reality, the sense of fulfilment to know that you can, it makes you appreciate life even better. It makes you appreciate the people you are with at that moment.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done with together as a squad?
Jeopardized ourselves by hanging on a mountain cliff to take a perfect photo. hyena laugh Tripped on strangers that pass us by at Amsterdam canals. Got wild like a party animal in a club and many more. I think when we decided to start travelling together, like three crazy heads mixed up together, it’s one of the craziest decisions you’ll ever do!
