Has anyone ever found a longtime partner while traveling..whether a native of the country you were visiting or another traveler?
Reply to this Hello Greg 😊
When I moved to London, England, I met and travelled with my ex. We were together for a year before work permits and university courses took us to opposite sides of the world.
I met my current boyfriend when he moved to Ireland(where I am from) from the Netherlands for a job(I suppose moving to another country is travelling of sorts) . We have been together for 9 years and now live in Munich, Germany.

Reply to this Haha... yeah. It's bound to happen for some... especially if they're the hopeless romantic type, like myself.
My travel tryst was a bit less innocent and happily ever after than Mell's was, however.
Travel makes you do things you wouldn't do back home, I suppose.
I'm miserably attracted to Irishmen. There. I said it! :P

I had a few 'not happily ever after' and 'not happy at all' ones too. :D
Did you meet the guy in your profile pic, while you were travelling Audrey?
Reply to this :P Nahhhhh... I did meet him as a result of my travels... and I ended up moving across the country to be with him, though.
(He's the Andrey...I'm Jess 😉 Though...I should start calling him Audrey cause he whines like a girl sometimes hahaha).
I'm actually putting my blog together to tell the story of how traveling helped me meet him. Should be quite outrageous when I am through. I've done a lot at the ripe age of 22.
Travel makes you fall in love faster, harder, and do stupider things, I think. But, revelations are made, and I think often stronger bonds can be made for life.
I can think of two really happy, strong couples that came out of traveling (a trip I was on, actually :P).

I will try to remember that. 😊

Post the link to it on this thread when it is finished.

I think, it might be youth that causes that. I got a bit more careful about who I got in relationships with as I got older, because I had experienced the consequences of being compulsive.
Reply to this We met a couple whilst travelling in Belize, they met in a bus in Cambodia and we're going to their wedding in Italy next month!
Reply to this I fell asleep on a beach once, not very far up the shore. So when the waves washed in, the water would hit me too. A bunch of people were playing beach volleyball nearby and then their ball rolling over and sort of hit me, but I didn't feel it because I was in such a deep sleep. Then one of the guys walked over and apparently asked me if I was okay, at which point I didn't respond. He thought I was drowning in the water earlier and got washed up ashore. So he tilted my chin backwards and started to listen to my pulse, in attempts to "rescue" me. I woke up just in time before he actually began the rescuing breathing. So it was a rather awkward way to meet, but a little vacation fling sprung out of that. We're now friends and still keep in touch. The story of how we met always provides for some good laughs, but I have assured him that I do actually know how to swim.
Reply to this Yes it is, I also hope to never relive anything like that. Meeting someone is great, but I'd just prefer to meet them in a far less embarrassing or awkward way.
