The Plus Side of Couples’ Travel

Solo travel is empowering, family trips are filled with fun – but vacationing as a couple can truly form memories of a lifetime. A trip with your significant other has the ability to work wonders for your relationship, whether you’re embarking on a weekend getaway, staycation or multi-continent voyage. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, we’ve rounded up the top three benefits of travelling as a twosome!

1) New Experiences

Between work, family and maintaining a social life, the typical routine can become tiresome. Often, couples are so caught up in the day-to-day that fun and excitement can be forgotten altogether. There’s no better way to refresh your relationship than by exploring somewhere that you have never been before, and scratching new experiences off of your mutual bucket list. Scuba dive in Thailand, ride horses in Argentina or have a romantic picnic in the hills of France – the options are endless.

2) Two for One

A trip with your loved one is not only an incredible way to try something new, but is also budget-friendly. With daily expenses like meals, taxis and hotel rooms split between two, you and your partner will save much more on costs than if you were travelling in a larger group or even on your own. There is also the added benefit of trust and safety in numbers – you will feel completely comfortable during the course of your trip knowing that you and your partner have each others’ backs.

3) Opportunities for Romance

Being thrown out of your comfort zone and seeing the world together is just about the most inspiring thing that you can do as a duo. Novel places are bursting with intrigue and romance, and provide countless opportunities to sweep your partner off of his or her feet (and vice versa). If you find yourselves in a bustling new city, set a date at an exotic high-end restaurant – in a tropical destination, charter a private sunset cruise. Sharing these special moments free from the distractions of home is an absolute recipe for success.
