The best partner is one who’s ready to love you and take you as you are, flaws and all. They shouldn’t be aiming to “fix you” or ask you to fix them, either.

When my long term relationship fell apart, after many problems and little nurturing, we decided to take off to India for half a year and see if things would improve, away from our everyday life.

I’ve picked up grapes in France for 3 weeks and then had money to travel for a year — on a super low budget, not luxury traveling for sure. Usually, the money is great and the work is temporary.

When we travel with friends or a partner, we tend to stick to that little group of familiar faces and even though you’ll meet new people, the dynamics and interactions won’t be as deep and fulfilling.
