Traveling with a partner? Continuing the romance theme this month, these tips are not to be missed for all lovers in transit…

Traveling with a partner has its rewards and pitfalls. So before you head out together to explore the wild blue yonder, give these tips some serious consideration.

Trust me, it will make life on the road together a lot smoother!

1) Communicate

Probably the most important tip of all, communicating about where you want to go and what you want to do before you go will make things a lot easier once youre away from home.

Make sure the destination you choose is compatible with both of your desires and that youve each had a chance to talk and listen.

2) Separate

Sometimes taking time apart will make the trip better for both of you, especially if youre on a long journey.

Dont be afraid to take a day trip to that underground cave youre dying to see while your partner lounges on the beach.

If youre hesitant to go out alone as a woman, reach a destination where you feel comfortable. Then your partner can venture out for a day or two while you enjoy a secure adventure of your own.

3) Compromise

Compromise doesnt always entail giving up on what you want or meeting in the middle. Sometimes rock climbing and deep sea diving just wont jive. Dont sweat it.

Rather, dare to do things you think you may not like on occasion. By the same token, make sure your partner is coming with you on your wild escapades too.

4) Plan Ahead

I dont mean that you should book everything ahead of time. But it is a good idea, especially on shorter trips, to make sure youll both be able to do what you want at a given destination.

Disclaimer: if youre not a planner and neither is your partner, thats OK. Just be sure youre both ok with the fact that if you dont plan you may end up in a youth hostel bunk-bed, or skipping a meal.

Not planning can lead to the greatest adventures, but it should be fun for both of you.

5) Respect

At home you have your creature comforts and your personal space at your disposal all the time. Sometimes being on the road together crimps that style.

Make sure youre respecting each others privacy by being considerate especially when it comes to sharing a bathroom!

6) Keep it Romantic

Theres nothing more fun than getting a romantic surprise whilst traveling, but it should be something you know your partner will like. Dont throw a surprise party if you know your partner wants a tranquil escape!

7) Indulge

Dont buy that $10,000 rug in Mumbai if youll be paying it off for the next ten years. But indulgence is relative. If it means going a little over your budget then go for it.

In Kerala, India, my partner and I once decided to rent a houseboat for $100 a day (a literal fortune compared to what wed been spending), but the experience was worth every penny!

Keep in mind that you may never return to a place. Dont hesitate. You wont be sorry.

Dont Sweat the Small Things

New destinations can be stressful, small irritations and stressful events often occur whilst traveling. This can lead to frustration and aggression, which sometimes gets taken out on your partner.

Take time to cool off and then let it go. Dont let the little things get in the way of a great vacation together.

If major incompatibilities arise on the road, work it out once youre back home. Dont waste your trip on couples therapy!
