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?
