ALL TOGETHER NOWHow to holiday happily with friends, by Adwoa Aboah.Portrait by Scott Trindle. Styling by Jack Borkett``````Embrace your inner Lara CroftIt’s great to do an activity when you’re in a big group, butI’m not one for sightseeing. I did all that stuff when I wasa kid: waking up early and going to 10,000 churches withmy mum and dad. Last summer, Cara Delevingne tookme and 18 girls to Mexico for her birthday. We skydived,swam with sharks and quad-biked through the jungle. Theguy who took us said that, of all the people he’d ever had,we were the most badass: on these big bikes in our thongbikinis, going full Grand Theft Auto. We really went for it.``````Master the bikini shotI’m an amazing photographer when it comes to a bikinishot. If you want a sexy photo to Instagram, I’m your girl.You know how some people will snap one really quicklyand then tell you that they’re done, even though you lookbutters? I really put in the effort: I light, I edit, I art-direct,I take people to different locations to get it right. Peopleappreciate it. You have to have your girls’ backs.``````I like a high-cut bikini –the smaller the better. Myfavourites are Prism andHunza G for that 1980slook.

If there are a lot of you it’s important thateveryone feels they can take time out. Chances are,someone’s going to be exhausted, someone else is goingto be going through something personal. Sometimes theultimate luxury is just ignoring the weather and decidingto stay in bed and watch Grey’s Anatomy. It’s good toknow you can separate from the group if you need to.``````Stage a reunionLast Christmas, Cara rented this big house in Wandsworthfor a reunion of our Mexico gang; it was like a four-dayholiday. We went to the London Dungeon and EscapeRooms, did life-drawing classes, had arm-wrestling contestsand held séances. You don’t have to go away to spend timewith your girls; sometimes a staycation is just as good. Q ADWOA WEARS SWEATER, RAF SIMONS.
