How to Travel With Your Boyfriend

Traveling with your boyfriend can be an opportunity to see the world while bonding and spending time together. The shared experience will leave you with many memories and keepsakes from this time in your relationship. Traveling can be stressful, but remember not to let anxious moments come between you and your boyfriend and take away from your experience.

Instructions

1

Select a destination, and involve your boyfriend in this step of the process. Picking a destination without consulting him may cause him to feel left out and make him less excited about the trip. Suggest places that offer activities you would both enjoy.

2

Clear travel dates with your boyfriend before booking and making final arrangements. Nothing is worse than booking a vacation, only to realize that one of you can't have the time off from work. Traveling as a couple sometimes means compromising on dates to accommodate your partner's work schedule. Plan well in advance to avoid scheduling conflicts.

3

Discuss a budget. Avoid unpleasant surprises or stressful money-related discussions during your travels by outlining a budget for your trip. Decide how expenses are going to be split and where you are willing to cut, if necessary.

4

Take plenty of pictures of places and scenes the two of you can remember together. Don't turn your trip into a personal photo shoot by constantly asking your boyfriend to take pictures of you. Have someone take pictures of the two of you together. Snap pictures of exotic meals before you eat them, too.

5

Stay well-rested, fed and hydrated. Hunger and exhaustion can make both of you irritable and frustrated with one another. Don't attempt to cram too many activities into one day, as this will make you too tired to fully enjoy what you're seeing and doing. Pack snacks and water on days when you might not have time to eat sit-down meals.

6

Spend time apart. Traveling with your boyfriend will inevitably have you spending significant amounts of time together. Even though you may enjoy each other's company, spending some time apart will ensure neither of you feel "suffocated" by the end of the trip. Take time to nurture your own interests while allowing him to tend to his.
