Travel as a Couple: What Works and What Almost Ended Us

by Alexander Adams28 July 20262 min read

Nine years of couple travel distilled: split decisions by category (Linda does food, Alexander does transport, both do accommodation), build solo time into every day (4 hours each), agree the budget before booking, cocktails at 6pm (non-negotiable), and the first-morning rule (Linda picks breakfast and the first walk in every new city). The system is more important than the chemistry. The fights are about itineraries, not in-laws.
