It is great when you can compare perspectives. I find that Martin will have a totally different take on things, which makes me rethink what we've just seen. Happy trails! Thanks Audrey!

I'll definitely be checking these out. Though I don't think it's 'brave' for couples to travel together at all. If couples can live together and work together they should be able to travel together. Terence and I have been together since 1985 and we've always travelled AND worked together on and off. We put our things in storage in Dubai 4.5 years ago and have been travelling continuously ever since working as travel writers (Terry is also a photographer) and bouncing around the planet from one assignment to another. In 2010 we're on a grand tour for a year we're calling Grantourismo with the aim of living like locals, doing and learning things, and inspiring others to do the same.

And thanks to introduce these other awesome travel couples!! As a person that never do world travel alone, I can't imagine doing a solo travel. Every time I look/experience something new, I will want my husband to be around to chat about it. I can't do without him - weird not to share with him. Also he is the crucial part of the trip - he deals with finding accommodation, transportation, and paper works in the big scale. (I hope he finds me useful too :) ) Hey, thanks to include us, Jaime!

She has the patience and level head that I sometimes lose from time to time. It helps that we pretty much like to do the same exact things while traveling, and we just complement each other so well. I can only stand a weekend away with anyone else, and when I do go somewhere without her, I'm always wishing she was there.<br>Our blog from our RTW trip is <a href="http://thewanderyear.com" rel="nofollow">http://thewanderyear.com</a> <br>We don't update it much anymore, but I am going to be launching a new site specifically designed for traveling couples, hopefully with a few weeks.

Although being with someone 24-hours a day can pose challenges, the benefits of traveling with a partner are so great. We both look at situations differently and experience differently, so at the end of the day it's interesting to compare perspectives on the same day & situations. Also, we do well with "Good Cop/Bad Cop" for bargaining and just getting out of uncomfortable situations. Unfortunately, neither of us has a good sense of direction so we always get lost.

When I got home from my solo travels and blabbed on and on about it I could see that people (try as they might) just couldn't relate. It is SO nice to share travel with someone and there is a higher chance that more details will be remembered with two than with just one. <br><br>Happy travels!<br>-Jaime Hi Erin!

So good to meet you. I've added your link to the above list. <br><br>I love what you say about the photos! Our problem is that we never seem to get photos of the two of us together. We just forget - busy snapping away at the scenery or each other. <br><br>Happy and safe travels to you two!<br>-Jaime No worries! So good to meet you. I've added your link to the above list.
