Top 5 Tips for Planning a Trip as a Couple
Planning a trip as a couple is quite an adventure in itself! Here are 5 tips, based on my experiences, to avoid pitfalls and ensure your project goes smoothly.
1. Assess Your Own Expectations
What do I expect from this trip? What images fuel my dreams? What are the things I absolutely want to see and do...?
2. Communicate Each Other's Expectations
What are my partner's expectations?
3. Negotiate and Find Common Ground
Discuss the places in the world you would like to go and what you would want to do there, your ideal way of traveling... All of this remains very theoretical, but having common ground is essential. Moreover, talking about it is already a way of being there in a sense!
4. Support Each Other
Facing others and ourselves along with our fears and doubts... Announcing the trip and the weeks that follow are particularly critical moments.
5. Everyone Has Their Own Preparation
