Planning a couple\u2019s vacation with your travel opposite? We\u2019ve got tips to ease the planning process.<\/h2>\n

You crave an autumnal European jaunt, your spouse\u2019s passport is expired; your sweetheart favours the mountains, you\u2019d much prefer making the most of museums on a hot, sticky day. A romantic getaway with your partner sounds<\/i> like a dream, but the reality is that, often, preferred activities don\u2019t always match up (and arguing over how to spend precious moments on vacation is far from ideal).<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are ways for even the most opposite of travel partners to enjoy a couple\u2019s vacation with (or without \u2014 more on that to come!) each other. Here, we explain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Choose a destination with a little bit of everything<\/b><\/h4>\n

If your better half loves the water and you want to museum hop, there\u2019s no need to pick one over the other. Find a place that offers both \u2014 a place like Barcelona<\/a>, which has the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean, picture-perfect coastal towns like Tossa de Mar, and cultural sites like Sagrada Fam\u00edlia<\/a>, <\/b>Gaudi\u2019s famous unfinished church. Instead of grumbling while you\u2019re doing what your partner wants, ask questions about what they like about the experience or why a good beach day fills them up. It\u2019s an opportunity to connect and further understand your S.O. Relationships are all about compromise, right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Split up from your travel buddy<\/b><\/h4>\n

On any trip, there\u2019s nothing wrong with going your own way for a morning or afternoon. It\u2019s important to be a little selfish and do that one thing (or those two things!) you really want to do in a new place. If your significant other is set on visiting an archaeological museum and you\u2019d rather spend your time in a downtown art gallery, go your separate ways and meet for lunch to discuss everything you saw or did over a glass of wine or a cup of local coffee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Try something new<\/b><\/h4>\n

It might sound off-putting, but stepping out of both your and your partner\u2019s comfort zones can be the perfect compromise \u2014 and a holiday is the ideal time to do something different. When both parties are \u201cbeginners,\u201d there\u2019s an opportunity to discover a new, shared interest. Find out what\u2019s big in your destination\u2014maybe it\u2019s cooking classes, sailing, or skiing. You might just find something new you both <\/i>love. If not, you\u2019ll make memories and have a story to tell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Take a solo or friend trip<\/h4>\n

Been dying to check out Scottsdale\u2019s<\/a> spas or Savannah\u2019s<\/a> slower way of life, but don\u2019t think your partner feels the same way? Take a solo trip \u2014 something 65 percent of women have done<\/a>. It provides the opportunity to curate a trip exactly to your likings. If you\u2019re not quite ready to head out on your own, grab your best friend or a group of people who tend to share your interests on-the-go. Not every trip is meant to be a romantic getaway and that\u2019s OK. Traveling with others \u2014 with friends or family \u2014 can help you (re-)connect with them in new ways.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
