Quotes:
“Traveling is such a beautiful thing; it takes you out of your element, and you get to experience new things.”
“It's really easy for human beings, for us to get into a groove, into a routine of a day to day, and traveling really shakes that up.”
“That's one of those things in life where you just decide how you want to show up, and you navigate it together. And that's really what my husband and I have found that, throughout our travels, we really grew closer and strengthened our relationship by navigating those unexpected difficulties that come up in travel. ”
“It was a type of conflict where we were seeing and doing things differently and reacting with frustration. Once we had a conversation about it and then moved through that, it felt amazing. And we had an even better and even greater level of communication from that.”
“I know for all of the couples that we have helped navigate the immigration process, I've heard from all of them about the crazy things that have happened when they were traveling. Bags being lost, or flights being delayed, and having to entertain yourself at the airport for hours and using that as an opportunity to connect and get to get to know each other better. ”
