Let's Talk About Romantic Getaways

When I first started traveling over two decades ago, it was mostly solo travel and I would find myself in situations that were very romantic. I would think to myself “This would be perfect if someone were here to share this moment”

Some of the best sunrises, sunsets, panoramic views, stargazing, candle-lit dinners, shows, train rides, and luxury hotel suites were great to experience. Still, they would’ve been made better by sharing the experience with someone.

So back on romantic getaways, I feel a key component to a perfect romantic getaway is remembering that it revolves around shared moments and experiences.?

Shared moments when they roll out correctly, become cherished memories.? Whether it’s the whisper of the waves on a secluded beach while you’re walking hand in hand, watching the moon rise above the ocean, or the tranquil rustle of autumn leaves as you walk up intimate footpaths to your cozy mountain cabin.? These moments offer a sanctuary, a little escape from the distractions of everyday life that when shared can strengthen a bond between two people.

It is simple yet profound. Every shared sunrise over a serene landscape, every intimate dinner under a starlit sky, and every spontaneous adventure through winding city streets becomes a thread in the tapestry of a couple’s shared history. These experiences, while perhaps ordinary in another context, are rich with significance because they are experienced together.

In closing, a romantic getaway is not about the destination itself but about the moments shared between two people who care for each other. It’s these shared experiences, filled with love and connection, that truly define a romantic retreat.?

The next time you plan an escape with your significant other, remember to be open to recognizing intimate moments as they present themselves or even creating and curating one that will become the cherished memories of your shared journey together.

I’d love to hear your opinion on this in the comments. And check back because I will be continuing to write about romantic travel and breaking it down to its very foundations so that perhaps we can have more of it in our lives and enjoy it much more when we do.?

Until next time- I hope your dreams are amazing!
