Get advice from traveling couples
It is almost two years ago, Anthony and I started traveling together. In that time I have learned more about Anthony and our relationship than I could ever have if we had stayed in Sydney. I think definitely our travels our relationship have only strengthened. And so I began to ask myself, what is learned from her trip have other couples. I was sure they would share advice, so I decided to contact a few pairs and hear their thoughts, tips and perspectives of life than two on the street
life after. Children: the Gypsy Nesters
I was interested to talk to a couple that are now under way, after they have raised their children. David and Veronica of Gypsynester have been together for 30 years. Because their children have flown the nest, they are enjoying life on the road and have for the past three years in full-time traveling.
David says travel has been the best way of the pair together to share experiences, a newly coined as empty-nest couple. "Our plan took on a life of its own -.. Leads us to sell everything, including our house now every day is a new experience, and our relationship is stronger than ever"
From their travels together, David says "In a way, this is a bonus time for us since we separated a lot of our spent the first twenty years of marriage because of my work ... now we get to catch up on some of this lost time."
for Veronica , travel has opened again and she feels free. She says. " Sometimes you can the world anxiously" holed up to make "in a place as mother, I turned into a protector My focus kept my children from harm Although a very commendable thing, it has.. scared me. "
So, after three years of full-time travel, what advice they have for couples who want to travel? " back dial to the day to day planning, embracing the unexpected, and search for the unknown gems on the way ." They agree that at first they were trying too hard, all in a minimum period to see. " We had to leave as well known, but it is not a holiday [now], it's our life. "
David and Veronica really their lifestyle, relationship and travel style strikes, and as I asked her journey in one word to summarize it simply answer: " discovery ."
A Decade of Travel: Wanderlust Fever
Karen and Eric of Trans America Journey are no beginner when it long to either travel ~~ POS = TRUNC comes or couples traveling. Overall, they have for nearly a decade on the road and have on the road steadily over the past five years.
traveling together for Eric and Karen is what they call " describe long-term endeavor-more [of a] lifestyle than anything else ." For them, that is one to two-week vacation seems only " foreign and impossible ."
Eric and Karen say their biggest challenge together spend all their time on the road. (This is also one of the biggest challenges faced Ant and I). But they also see this as their greatest gift. Many people say to them: "If you can travel together, you can have a perfect relationship." No such thing, they say. with someone means all the time that it was "important to find a way to give to the needs of your partner on his deal-breaker issues, and vice versa. "
For them it is compromise , which is its most important tip to keep couples for traveling and on the road a good relationship. They suggest you " compromise in the decision (where to go next, budgets, the hotel or the hotel, etc.), especially when it comes to the two or three key elements that are most important to your partner [1945004"]
on the other side. the early travelers
with such a great council of two truly inspiring couples, I also wanted a pair to speak, have only just begun, on their journeys from. Is their perspective different? What they have learned in their short time on the road?
Skott and Shawna of Get up and Globe began only together trip in 2010. the long-term travel in June began with a honeymoon destination search, but the wheels were set in motion, as they realized that they time in more than one location.
Although they were not really nervous about travel so long wanted to spend together, they think their travels have been a whole lot easier, because before this trip, they worked together. " together prepared us very well. We have to know what the other person is ticking in challenging, high-voltage situations ," she said. Skott and Shawna suggest that if you spend worrying about your partner so much time, all day every day, try " always be involved in an activity where you are stuck with each other for at least a few days without escape. for example, a one-week canoe trip or camping. "
Whether you are a couple or two years is on its way two weeks, it is always you can be lessons to learn your to strengthen relationship. Skott and Shawna focus on communication and trust. " Communication is an area where we absolutely continue to grow. If one of us is annoyed always, we learn that it is better to explain why you are upset, rather than keeping it bottled .. . we we learn each other more must trust. Whether it is planning a certain element of the trip, find our way through a city or even work on our blog, we have that the other person to see, is equally competent, and that they need to be given a chance to show what they can do! "
While Skott and Shawna told them took some time to find their" traveling legs, "they absolutely love, "We are to share someone else every amazing experience and every challenging moment. share these moments forever. " that they
While all three couples have such different relationships and travel experiences, none of covered them with sugar that traveling together hard and takes work. Yes, the times on the road will be hard, but each pair saw their journeys as time together sharing special moments to spend, and problem, particularly as enhanced unit to solve.
really with your loved travel is a very unique and rewarding experience. I know I would not change my travels with Anthony for nothing.
