It is said that couples that travel together, stay together. For those in love, travelling is bliss. You get to explore new places, and make memories with your partner. The joy and thrill of discovering a new city or country is unparalleled.
Among other things, it builds intimacy and brings two people closer. You get to understand your partner, and they get to witness your quirks, your likes and dislikes.
This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday, which means you have the weekend to plan something unique with your significant other. And if you are looking to make it extra special for them, a quick getaway away from the humdrum of regular life, is always a great idea.
