Our Relationship on the Road

Ep 134


When you travel as a couple things can get hectic.

Where do you want to go next? What are we doing for dinner? The number of decisions you have to make on a daily basis increases tenfold.

When you’re at home you can retreat, go hang out with your friends, just lose yourself in the aspects of daily life, but on the road that’s all stripped away.

Today Jason interviews Heather and I about how we handle taking our relationship on the road. How we deal with decision making, money, and fighting as we travel around the world.

The highs are really high, and the lows can be really low, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything!

What are some of your tips for traveling on the road as a couple?

“Retirement”, Relationships & Buying a Home in Another Country with Warren & Betsy Talbot. Part II

Warren-and-Betsy-Talbot-PART-2


Yesterday Warren and Betsy shared amazing advice on starting your travel journey and finding a home base that you absolutely love.

Today we continue the trend of great advice and discuss a very important topic to me personally and I’m sure to a lot of you as well!

Relationships on the road.

Namely, making sure that you and your partner are on the same page, and happy during your travels. Because, as those of us who have traveled as part of a couple know, when you spend 24 hours a day with the same person in and out on top of the highs and lows of travel, tensions can rise quickly.

The advice that Warren and Betsy have to share on this topic is unbeatable for its wisdom and accuracy!

Do you and your partner use any of the tips that Warren and Betsy share? Different ones? Let me know how they work for you in the comments below!

“Retirement”, Relationships & Buying a Home in Another Country with Warren & Betsy Talbot. Part I

Warren-and-Betsy-Talbot-Part-1

Would you rather eat Thai food tonight, or go eat food in Thailand?

After seeing some of their friends having health issues in their 30’s Warren and Betsy Talbot sat down to a serious conversation to decide what they wanted their life to be like.

The next day they started Married with Luggage and laid out a budget.

And two years later they set out on around the world trip which has turned them to full-time travelers.

In this portion of our interview, Warren and Betsy chat about their decision to become nomadic, getting out on the road, and how, 4 years later, they bought a house in Spain to function as their home base.

With great advice that I know I’ll be following soon, this is an interview for people on all stages of their journey. From those considering the lifestyle to those who have been on the road for a while, there is something here for everyone!

Join us tomorrow for part II of this interview, where we talk more about the care and feeding of a relationship on the road and some money-saving tips & tricks.
