SCORE TIME! Count your A’s, B’s, and C’s
Mostly A’s: The Perfectionist Pair
You adore planning and organization—which is wonderful! Keep in mind, though, travel is full of surprises. Be clear with each other and willing to compromise. Plan some “free time” into your schedule to minimize friction.
Mostly B’s: The Balanced Backpackers
You two are the sweet spot! You like to explore but can also hang loose together. Your adaptable personality and mutual decision-making approach make you good travel partners. Just be sure to keep those lines of communication open!
Primarily C’s: The Chill Nomads
You’re relaxed, spontaneous, and hardly ever sweat the details. That’s nice—but be careful not to have mismatched expectations if your travel partner is more type-A. Working out a few things in advance may help keep things running like silk.
TIPS FOR A GREAT COUPLE TRIP
- Talk about expectations beforehand.
- Split travel responsibilities evenly.
- Don’t invade each other’s downtime.
- Be prepared to compromise.
- Laugh off the small things.
Remember: Travel is more than checking off places on your list—it’s about trying new things together. You’re maybe perfect opposites, or you’re copying each other’s travel vibes—whatever it is, the secret is communication, patience, and a sense of adventure shared.
So, are you ready to schedule that vacation—or perhaps just nip a few habits in the bud first?
