Travelling as a Couple…

First things first, why do we travel as a couple?

Since the day we met, we realized that both of us love to travel. But only when we started travelling together, did we understand what comes with it!

It is not always easy to share the same interests with each other, even the smallest ones.

Sometimes, I might like to travel to relax, when my better half would want to travel to see new places, to seek new adventures.

So, you have to compromises sometimes. Do a little something to keep your better half happy! Spending our time each other is what makes us happy, even though we may not always flirt 🙂

Or else, if it is ok with both of you, take your own ‘my time’ during the trip. You can rest while your significant other becomes Dora the Explorer! or vice-versa!

Packing our things, is never easy. We always pack the most essential things we need, like medicine, shorts, t shirts, tissues, water and some snacks (depends on your destination).

Small tip : always try to pack your things together. Makes your life easier with one less luggage 🙂

We always read around the destination we plan to travel, the weather, the road condition, whether our vehicle can travel on those roads (one of the biggest issues we find when we travel in our own car), the culture (if it is a different country you are visiting), places to see around, things to do etc.

Prepare a plan… which is a crucial point. If you want to make best out of your vacation, always have a plan. Of course, the plan will change while you travel, but that is the best thing about having a plan. We know what we can and cannot do….

Do reservations ahead of time. We always make reservations couple of weeks before and keep confirmations with us. Do not trust that the Hotels, travel agent or the air line will do a 100% perfect job all the time. Even the best in the world make mistakes, once in a while, so it is always better to be prepared.
