4. You’ll Experience Amazing Things Together

You thought traveling was only bad and stressful? Yes, it can be, but when you share beautiful moments with the person you love or that person you consider a true friend, you create memories that stay with you forever.

I remember lighting candles over the Ganges during the Kumbh Mela in India with my brother and his girlfriend. I remember exploring the Amazon swinging on the hammocks in the slow boats with my then-fiancee. And I have fresh memories of our wedding in Thailand just a short time ago!

At the end of the day, your relationship will be formed as you experience things together, be it awful or lovely ones. Every time you see that other person crying, hurting, smiling or laughing, you’ll be touched in one way or another.

The thing is, when you live your daily lives, you also go through these powerful moments — a graduation, an illness, pregnancy, moving in together, and so on — but they tend to be far apart from each other, happening maybe twice or three times a year.

When you travel you boost this frequency and your life resembles a roller coaster of emotions — one day you might be riding your bike along rice fields and the other, you get all your belongings stolen. But you’re together all the time.

I’ve always believed that traveling is the perfect way to really know if you’re compatible with someone and after years of travel, I think this statement is still very true. So, who are you going to travel with now?
