From  shared coffee-breaks to gossiping over the shenanigans of bosses, the bond we share with our colleagues is unique and it is no surprise that workplace friendships have taken a more central role in our lives. Clearly, taking a trip together is a great way to celebrate this friendship.

Why travelling with ‘frolleagues’ work

Also, travelling with ‘frolleagues’ has some unique benefits too. Being in the same office means that you are already in the same city, have largely similar timings, and get days off on the same day – which is a scheduling dream.
