“In Life, It’s Not Where You Go, It’s Who You Travel With” – Charles Schulz
The core essence of traveling is beautifully summed up in this quote by Mr. Charles Schulz. Traveling is not about the place where you go, the things you do or even the food that you eat, it is most importantly about the person with whom you travel. Most of us enjoy the fun-filled friends’ trip and the family reunion holidays, and certainly, they play an important role in strengthening our bond with them. However, when your life partner becomes your travel partner, the excitement, joy, and love reach another level. When the exhilaration of vacation and travel mixes with the unparalleled joy of spending time with the special one, the treasure of memories gets richer by cherished moments and thrilling experiences.
