8 Reasons For Couples to Travel Together

Most people love traveling. While some like to visit places that are filled with action and adventure and are Instagram-worthy, others like to nourish their soul and rejuvenate their spirit. Travelling doesn’t just leave people feeling elated and independent; it is also the best way to understand people. Especially if that person you’re traveling with happens to be your partner!

Traveling with your special someone is always a good idea since it helps you get to know the other person deeper. It is a fun way to spend more time with them, which can only strengthen your bond and bring you closer to each other. Here are eight reasons why couples should make frequent plans to travel together.

1. Journey to become best friends

Traveling together opens up new avenues of communication which are otherwise never available in the concrete jungles that are cities. Being at peace while traveling puts you in touch with your deepest feelings and desires, which translate into being more open and vulnerable with your partner. Your experience, shared memories, sharing of your fears, insecurities and deepest thoughts will definitely push the two of you closer, forging deeper bonds strengthened by memories. You will become each other’s best friends.

2. Live the romance

Be it spontaneity or planned activities, shared experiences only establish deeper, more meaningful relationships with your partner. A spark of romance is the least of what you can expect when you travel together.

3. Experiencing freedom

There is a sense of freedom and adventure when you travel together with your partner. You understand the other person’s need for solitude or company, for a quiet morning or a day of adventure, perfecting the nuanced understanding of what the other person wants, while respecting their personal space. This only enhances the mutual respect between the two parties, which is the foundation of any strong relationship.

4. Having each other’s back

Traveling with someone you love also gives you a sense of security, giving you the confidence to lose yourself in your thoughts, without having to watch your back (if you were traveling alone). It is a special feeling, knowing that you could be in the middle of nowhere and yet, have someone to goof off with, talk, laugh and share thoughts about your adventure. Wherever you are, you will be secure in the knowledge that you have your partner to make you feel loved and safe.

5.  Learning strengths and weaknesses

Traveling is the best means of knowing and analyzing your partner’s strengths and weaknesses. You understand how your partner deals with an unexpected or unpleasant situation, or how well they deal with obstacles in their path. This will help you figure out where you need to understand and support each other when tough situations arise, giving you a unique insight into your partner’s psyche.

6. Because of no responsibility yet

The best part of being a couple is that there is nothing, really, to worry about. Do you want to plan a trip? Well, just book your tickets, grab a backpack and be on your way, living out your very own exploration story! This idea becomes much more exciting when you share with your partner. While the future may bog you down with responsibilities and commitments, why not make the most of your unencumbered present?

     7. Memories of a lifetime

The best memories are made while traveling. Your earliest memory that you fondly remember might just be one of the family vacations that you took as children! As you grow older, you traveling shifts to vacationing with friends, and getaways with your partner. Experiencing adventurous things together will invariably create incredible memories for a lifetime. Traveling as a couple is special. It enables you to share amazing memories and experiences with the person you love. It truly is one of the most magical things you can do for a relationship.

8. Return Home with a sense of accomplishment

Once you get back home, you will experience a sense of accomplishment. You will feel confident about taking up bigger challenges that life might throw at you. Because you’re a team now. Your travel stories have given you both some wonderful memories to cherish forever and strengthen your relationship.

One of the best places to seek adventure or solitude, depending on your preference is the gorgeous, quaint hill station town of Munnar. With mist-kissed hills, postcard-perfect tea gardens, rolling fields and an abundance of nature with a delicious, steaming hot cup of tea to keep you company, this picturesque town is the best choice whether you want to plan a special surprise for your partner or just gift them a time-out from the crazy life in the city.

The best place to make this trip even more special is a stay at the gorgeous Elixir Hills, a resort that is located right in the lap of nature. Bordering a dense evergreen forest, it boasts of hosting its own experiences, such as bird-watching, wildlife spotting, and trekking. Email them at reservations@elixirhills.com to know more about their nature walks and experiences.

So what are you waiting for? Go on, book that special outing that you’ve been planning with your special someone. After all, a couple that travels together, stays together.
