Whether you decide to go to Ireland or settle on a beachfront hotel for a month in Thailand, everything will be a new experience when you travel as a couple. It opens up opportunities to make memories together. You can also spend this time away from your old selves to look back and remember the greatest hits of the past.
With a new situation comes new problems but look at them positively. Traveling gives couples a chance to team up and tackle problems together rather than having one solve it on their own. Plus, most of these problems are simple things like where to go to next, where to eat, or haggling with a cab driver. In a way, these survival skills teach couples new ways on how to cope with and manage problems together.
Traveling together also means that most of the time, the couple will be sharing every waking moment with each other. This opens opportunities to make hilarious, interesting, and intimate moments.
