Plan a Romantic Getaway This Summer

Summer can be the perfect time to reconnect with your partner and escape from the craziness of day-to-day life. With no shortage of places in the world to explore, it can be overwhelming to pick just one. These tips can help you narrow your search of places that will be a good fit for you and your partner.

Embrace Surprise

If you’re truly not sure where to go and are open to going anywhere in the U.S. or around the world, let a surprise travel agency do all of the planning work for you.

There are several companies out there who provide these services. Pack Up + Go focuses on U.S. destinations, Magical Mystery Tours goes abroad, and The Vacation Hunt focuses on honeymoons and other big events.

No matter which agency you choose, the basic concept is the same. You complete a survey about where you would like to go, then the company’s travel agents match your preferences with a destination.

About a week before your trip, you receive an email with instructions and an envelope containing your destination. You open the envelope at the airport, and the adventure begins! If you’re short on time and up for anything, this is a great way to rekindle the sense of spontaneity you had at the beginning of your relationship.

Rekindle Old Memories

If you want something a little more planned out, consider revisiting the place you went for your honeymoon, engagement, or another big occasion. This is a great way to rekindle old memories and remember why you chose this person as your partner.

You can explore new aspects of the area, or retrace your steps on your original trip. Either way, you’ll be reminded of your special bond and how important it is no matter what else life throws in the way.

Wherever you end up, remember to enjoy the time of rest and connection with your partner!
