When I decided to get into the travel business one of the things I heard was: what's your focus going to be? " What's you niche?" At the time I didn't know. I hadn't even thought about it. I just thought I can't wait to get some business and plan some trips for people. I went down the rabbit hole of what is my focus going to be. I had no idea.
Like everyone else these days, I asked Chat GPT..."what should I focus my travel business on?" and "Do I really need to have a niche in the travel business?" Of course, Chat GPT being the knowledgeable friend she is said yes, it can only help your business. At that point the challenge started. I started trying to figure out what I really liked and what I knew I could be successful in. I no longer had little kids, so while I like Disney I didn't think that was for me. I had never really been overseas, or on a cruise, therefore I was no expert on that. I started to panic a bit.
Then the thought became bigger, what do I know. As a previous stay at home mom, I knew that my life revolved around my kid, and my husband. I knew that I had been married for a long time, almost 30 years. I know that my husband and I truly do enjoy being together. We have fun when we do road trips and explore new places. On our escapes, we have conversations we don't typically have at home when we are busy with life. I feel like "simple escapes" can strengthen your relationship.
When you are in a relationship, you have to communicate and compromise. The same goes when you are traveling together. Communication is a huge key when you are traveling with another person. There are discussions about what we want to do, and where are we going to eat today. Couples learn to exhibit patience and respect along with negotiation.
As far as compromise is concerned, traveling can bring you out of your comfort zone in the aspect of food, location, things to do. One idea for compromise when it comes to food is for one person to choose dinner one night and the other person gets to choose dinner the next night. If one partner isn't as adventurous as the other one that can bring about a compromise of what to do. Keep in mind, there are some things you can also do solo. Communication and compromise in my opinion are two pillar aspects of a healthy relationship.
The reason I chose couples travel is I do believe that it can transform your relationship. I believe that it promotes personal growth and enhances communication. It always you and your significant other something in common that you can conversate about.
Traveling together isn’t always perfect, but it is always worth it. The moments of laughter, the teamwork, the conversations, and yes—even the compromises—are what strengthen relationships and make the journey unforgettable.
Here’s to love, laughter, and the journeys we take together.
