Travelling with your significant other can sometimes prove to be a tricky situation. It is definitely a good test of your relationship and a test of character when things don’t go as planned! Having some adventurous trips planned along the way can make all the difference in your trip and will definitely help you forget about the humdrums of your daily routine.
Get out there to explore the world with your better half. Throw numbers into a hat and leave your next big adventure up to fate!
1. Take a PADI Scuba Diving course on a beautiful tropical island anywhere in the world. Cebu in the Philippines and Utila in Honduras are known as some of the most inexpensive places to take the PADI Scuba Diving course.
2. Trekking in Nepal is a great way to challenge yourself (and put your relationship to the test). Spend as little as 3 days to reach Poon Hill from Pokhara or embark on a more adventurous 13-day Everest Base Camp Trek from Kathmandu.
3. Go Gorilla Trekking in Uganda’s Impenetrable National Forest or venture into Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park to get up-close and personal with these furry, gentle creatures of which there are less than 1000 still surviving in the world
