As part of my being a romantic travel writer, my goal is to add value and romance to your destination, wherever that may be. Whether you are are seeking the sun at a tropical beachside location or looking to hideaway in a rustic cabin resort, these tips, suggestions and travel advice will allow you to plan and enjoy a truly romantic travel experience.

Romantic Travel Tip #1

One sexy way to maximize your dollars while traveling is by booking a romance package. Many boutique hotels and resorts, ranging in star ratings, amenities and size, offer romantic packages year-round. Most romantic packages include heartfelt seductive additions to the purchase of your accommodations. For example, some of the embellishments include couples massages, rose pedal-filled beds, dinner reservations, massage oils and often a bottle of bubbly-on-ice upon your arrival. Securing an irresistible getaway will be guaranteed.

Romantic Travel Tip #2

Don’t forget to pack romantic travel essentials; travel candles, massage oils and lingerie. Spice up your vacation even more with erotic games and intellectually stimulating activities that create opportunities to learn more about one another. In our typical routine and comfortable surroundings, dialogue tends to circle around the same topics of conversation. Travel often evokes a daring spirit and gives the two of you the chance to explore old dreams and hidden wishes. Now is your opportunity to discover another side of your partner.

Romantic Travel Tip #3

Bonding Activities include Italian cooking classes, kite-surfing lessons in Hawaii or cherishing a hike up Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro together. Travel adventures create memories together and cement that loving bond that you both share. No matter if you are on your first trip-away together, honeymooning or celebrating your twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, continuing to challenge one another and discover new destinations together builds an unshakable bond and lasting memories.
