Travelling as a couple: find your shared pace
A good trip together starts with understanding how each of you wants to spend the day.

01 / Pick one experience each
Before you go, each choose one thing you most want to do: watch a sunrise, shop, hike or simply sleep in. Put those two experiences first and plan around them. This can be more rewarding for both of you than squeezing in every popular attraction.
02 / Agree on early starts
Sunrises, long journeys and booked activities affect the evening before. Before booking, agree on departure times, walking distances and how much energy you will have afterwards. Follow demanding days with easier ones. Rest is part of the trip.
03 / Make room for time apart
A shared trip can include activities together and a half-day following separate interests. Agree on when and where to meet and stay in touch. If plans clash, keep what matters most to each of you and drop the optional extras.
04 / Agree on how to share costs
Decide which costs you will share and which you will pay separately. Keep a shared list of flights, accommodation and reservations. Record smaller expenses each day so you do not have to reconstruct them from memory later.
