You're gonna have to learn how to find a happy in-between. Maybe you like museums and he likes hiking. Maybe you want to go get Chinese and he wants Italian. Maybe
-
you want to fly Delta and he wants to fly Spirit. Whatever the compromise is, you both should be able to accept the outcome! Traveling is all about taking a break from
-
your responsibilities and just enjoying life, right? Just make sure you're both meeting halfway, that's absolutely key.
-
-
Quite frankly, there's not a lot of time to be messing around. Should you compromise? Sure. But it's pretty damn hard to find a healthy compromise when you're not even saying
-
what you want. Get your feelings and thoughts out of the way so you can take some action!

-
At the end of the day, what's really important is you two having fun and making memories together. If something unfortunate happens, try to pass through it. Laugh things off.
-
Don't over-plan. Expect the worst. If you just stay calm and focus on you two instead of focusing on things you can't control, you'll feel a lot better.

Ideally, it should be both of you. The magical trip of your dreams isn't going to fall straight into your lap, you've got to plan in advance. Make sure to

Okay, this is a tough one. Technically, you should be spending most of your time together because, well, it is YOUR trip. However, time spent alone is important too. You don't
-
want all your memories of that city to be about that one person, and to be honest, they might not like the same activities as you. Go on a morning
-
walk at the beach by yourself. Take a bus ride. Go somewhere you wanted to go but he didn't.

-
You will both see each other at your worse, and that my friend, will change everything. You will either be so aggravated by them to the point where you realize
-
they aren't who you thought they were. Some people don't realize they're not compatible until they spend a few days together. However...things can also change for good. You might see

how much you love them for who they truly are, and that can be beautiful.
We often romanticize traveling, especially if it's with a partner. We expect it to be nothing but sunsets, kisses, and beautiful moments, all while forgetting the fact that traveling takes a lot of careful planning and budgeting.
