Travelling with your lover is a special and memorable experience. It can also help you reconnect on a deeper level while strengthening your bond.
This Valentine’s Day, take the opportunity to escape the stresses of everyday life and enjoy a refreshing experience with the one whom your heart has chosen.

Choose your destination wisely

The more remote your chosen destination is, the better. Escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life in order to enjoy blissful isolation with your partner is refreshing. Find a destination that is dreamy and far-removed as this will mean less distractions and more time to fully immerse yourselves in your romantic experience.
Balance exploration with downtime

Although you still want to explore your destination and try out some of the activities available, downtime is also important.
Apart from all the fun, exploration and activities, be intentional about setting time to just relax together. What your downtime looks like is completely up to you. For example, it can include simply staying in the hotel room all day and ordering room service.
Choose activities that are new to the both of you
Only a few things in life are better than experiencing new things with your partner. On your itinerary, be sure to include some activities which are new to the both of you. These can range from ziplining to pottery or whatever is new and interesting to the both of you.
New experiences will deepen your bond, increase excitement and add to the overall positive mood of your getaway.
Incorporate a digital detox
Being away with your partner is also a great time to practice mindful presence. Place your cellphones and other devices in the hotel safe and fully immerse yourselves in the experience. This will also make room for active listening, as well as deep, beneficial and undistracted conversations.
Capture some memories
Although you do not want to turn your entire holiday into a photoshoot, capturing memories is important. As such, it is advisable to keep your camera nearby to capture a few special moments. After all, pictures are the perfect way to travel back in time and re-live moments which shaped the romantic getaway of a lifetime.
