You met your new sweetie on an internet dating site. After months of dating you've reached the point where you want to take your first trip together. You're no novice to travelling; you've travelled in the past with friends and family.
You figure that since all went well travelling with friends and family that going on a trip with your new boy/girlfriend should be a no brainer. And for the most part it's lots of fun. But we all travel differently, so there are a few things to consider before you go on a trip with your partner.
First and foremost you need to decide on a destination. For some this means going anywhere tropical as long as there's beach and a bar. Others aren't into the heat and prefer going someplace cooler; perhaps taking in some skiing. If you and your sweetie are at opposite poles as far as destination is concerned, you've got some talking, and some compromising to do.
Second, you need to talk about when you are planning to travel. What time of the year is better to take a trip? This may differ for both people.
What is the length of your vacation going to be? One week, two weeks, longer? You may not have the same amount of time off, so talk to each other about this rather than making assumptions. If you or your partner has recently started a new job you're likely not eligible for a vacation. Can you really afford to take unpaid time away from your job?
Once these details have been ironed out and you both embark on your travel, the next thing to think about is your vacation styles. There are people who want to spend every waking moment visiting every site and tourist attraction available, while others like to relax. They figure the reason they took the time off was to relax and rejuvenate.
This total contrast in vacation styles can clash and make for a frustrating trip. It may important to compromise to make sure that each individual can get some of the things they are important to them. It is not necessary to spend every second with a specific mission in mind, nor is it productive to spend all your time relaxing.
Take turns doing the things you each enjoy; you'll find your trip mutually satisfying. Your first trip together is supposed to be a fun time of getting to learn more about each other. The best way to do that is to get the issues out of the way before you board the plane.
