Going travelling with partner

    I am planning on going away travelling with my girlfriend for 6 months. We've been going out for 2 years now (do not live together). Anyone have any advice as I am kind of apprehensive about the whole thing?

    What if we get sick of each other? Will I have to be looking after her all the time?

    I know it depends on the kind of people we are, but if anyone has any advice or experiences at all, I would appreciate it if you could share.:o

    Well I'm living with mine in Australia at the moment. We've been going out five and a half years but never lived together. We were living with friends for the first six months but now it's just the two of us. It can be difficult at times and you will have more arguments than at home cause you'll constantly be in each other's hair and won't have many people to turn to on your travels. Having said that there's nothing better than having someone you love with you to share the experience.

    I'm going travelling with my partner soon and i have absolutely no apprehensions about it. i wouldn't want to go with anyone else. We live toghether and one of the reasons we did it was so we'd be %100 comfortable going away together.

    I don't think you have anything to worry about. If you've been together two years then you obviously get on well enough. The good thing about travelling with your partner is that they're the one person in the world you can say anything to. You know when you're with a group of friends and you have to bite your tongue somtimes so as to be fair and not selfish. With a partenr you can tell then exactly what you want and vice versa.

    Maybe lay out some ground rules like, if one of you picks a place to go then the other gets to ick it next time. Also, me and my bf have regukar dicsussion about what we want when we go travelling and what we want to get out of it. Just have a big chat about it with her and maybe make a loose itinerary that you both agree on. Then if your plans change while you're travelling you can discuss it then. The key is compromise. As that's a basis for a good relationship anyway you should be fine.

    Have a great time!
