10 Tips for Couples Travelling Together

Travelling as a couple is an amazing thing to do together, where you will grow, bond, and create lifelong memories together. So here are 10 helpful tips to make the most out of your travels together:

Plan Together
Make sure you’re both involved in the planning process, it’s so easy for the more organised one to take the lead and run away with planning everything but make sure you discuss your travel styles, interests and thoughts to ensure the trip works for both of you. Make this fun by chatting about your bucket list locations and note them down in your journal.

Let’s Talk Money
Budget is a big contender when planning a trip, so make sure you discuss openly and plan accordingly. Determine a daily spending limit, decide on splurges, and consider setting aside a contingency fund. Make note of these in your journal so you can work towards these goals on the go!

Go with the Flow
Things don’t always go as planned, so try not to get too stressed when your day doesn’t go exactly as you wanted. Whether that’s a flight or train delay, bad weather or the hotel check in being delayed. Try to be as flexible and positive as possible, you can always make the best out of a bad situation.

Solo Time
If you’re not used to spending 24/7 together it can be overwhelming, try to schedule some solo time, even if this is as simple as one of you pens an entry into your journal while the other one nips out to the shop, these times apart will be sure to make your time together more enjoyable.

Try New Things
Travel is about exploring new places and having new experiences. Be open to trying new activities, even if they’re outside of your comfort zone. It can be a great bonding experience and a source of fun stories to note down in your journal.

Capture Memories
Take loads of photos and keep a journal as you go. We’re in a world where we capture everything on camera but also make sure to put the camera away sometimes and just enjoy the moment.

Stay Healthy
Keep hydrated, eat well, and rest enough. Getting sick can ruin your travel plans. 
Pack a basic first aid kit and know what health care options are available at your destination.

Celebrate Together
Enjoy your time together, the trips will go by in the blink of an eye so celebrate milestones and treat yourselves to a special dinner or activity to make your trip memorable and fill you journal with all of your amazing memories.

Handle Conflicts Calmly
Disagreements might happen. Address them calmly and constructively, focusing on finding a solution rather than assigning blame.

Savour the Moments
Finally, remember to savour every moment. Whether it's a breathtaking view or a simple coffee break in a quaint café, these are the moments you'll remember (and note them in your journal to look back on for years to come)
