Travelling as a couple sounds very romantic, and it is, but then there’s also…
“How much further is it?”
“I told you we should have taken a taxi.”
“Do we really need to see another church?” 😂
Because travelling together also means travelling with someone who may have a completely different idea of what a holiday should look like.
One wants to leave the hotel at 8am. The other thinks 8am on holiday should be illegal.
One wants museums and history. The other wants a long lunch, a bottle of w**e and absolutely no plans afterwards.
One wants to shop. The other suddenly discovers there’s another museum to visit! 😂
And you know what? That is completely normal.
When we design a trip for a couple, we’re designing for two people.
Two personalities.
Two rhythms.
Two wish lists.
The secret is finding that balance where you both get to enjoy the journey.
Perhaps she chooses Florence and he chooses the countryside. Perhaps he chooses Ancient Rome and she gets an afternoon wandering through little streets and enjoying a glass of w**e.
And sometimes you split up and do your own thing. That works too! 😂
Some of our couples have been together for a few months. Others for 10, 30, 40 or even 60 years.
But many have one conversation in common, the one that starts with…
“Shall we finally go to Italy?”
Because somewhere between the trains, dinners, sunsets, glasses of w**e and the inevitable “I told you so,” something lovely happens.
Everyday life disappears for a few days.
No laundry. No supermarket. No appointments. No endless list of things that need doing.
Just the two of you, somewhere in Italy.
And perhaps that’s the romantic part of travelling as a couple that we don’t talk about enough.
The time.
Time together. Alone. Simply to be. ❤️ 🇮🇹
