Why Traveling is the Best

Read me! In case you can't tell, I might be spending too much time on Stumble Upon. If you don't know what that is, go to stumbleupon.com and set up an account- its free and from what I can tell they don't spam you/give out your information. Anyways, it's a great time waster, esp. if your sick... like me. And on the rare occasion that you are using it for homework (promise! I was looking for links for a required twitter feed for the same class) it can also give you cute ideas for you romantic relationships blog.

Which is that traveling with your significant other is the best option ever. I know lots of people have the vacation horror stories- and bad vacations will happen once in a while. Airports are probably the biggest taker of the blame. But hotels, motels, hostels, etc. can mess up as well as restaurants... or natural disasters or weather... but that does not mean you have to sit in your locked house 24/7. And although the places in the link probably cost lots of money to visit, that doesn't mean there isn't lots of economical options to get away somewhere.

And then there are the reasons trips are great with your significant other, no matter what you choose to do- a day hike on a weekend or a 10 day stay in a country where neither (or both) of you speak the language. It's an adventure- and experiencing experiences together (yes, that is grammatically correct) is more or less a guaranteed way to bond, without any worry about awkward moments or not having things to talk about. If you're actively doing something, discussions about the day or the moment come more naturally, unlike sitting across from each other at the coffee shop 2 blocks down. Experiences are the sorts of things that produce inside jokes, and a tough or amazing experience together can make two people closer than a year of mutual acquaintanceship. So if you have the money, take trips that lead you far away.. or, just go somewhere new.
