Are you planning an extended trip with your partner? Not sure where to start? Not sure what it might end up like? I guess those feelings are all part of the adventure — but I think we can help relax you a bit, and help you enjoying the planning stages, give you heaps of advice for your everyday travel, and how to come home again.

You see, we’ve been travelling full-time since February 2006. Of course, we’ve worked to support ourselves along the way, but we’ve spent four out of five years away from home, travelling through over 50 countries. Our site, the Indie Travel Podcast, has helped over 650,000 visitors with their travel plans, and this book is all the wisdom we’ve got for couples who are planning their trip.

What to you mean, “couples’ travel”? Is this a kissing book*?

This is a book designed to help you have the trip of a lifetime, an adventure … If you’re going to sit on the beach all day, it might be an interesting read, but it’s not really for you.

This is a book for couples who want to travel together long-term, although it’ll be helpful for those planning shorter trips as well.

There’s already too many brochures offering glossy beach holidays and package deals … we don’t have anything like that here.

We focus on the realities of travel, looking at communication skills that will help you on the road. We talk about what to do if one of you gets sick, starts acting out, or you can’t agree on where to go next, or if a tourist attraction is ethical or not. We talk about money … budgeting, spending, arguing over it.

This book is for straight couples and gay couples, those that are living together, shacked up, married, or something else. We have a whole section on the particular challenges that gay couples face while travelling: from machismo to hotel managers rushing to give you two single beds instead of the double you pre-booked. Heck, this book might just help friends travelling together too (but they might not need help with the single beds).

* There’s nothing wrong with a gratuitous reference to the Princess Bride, is there?

What you do you get?

The Art of Couples’ Travel is more than just a document. We’ve designed it to be valuable for those that like to read, like to watch videos, and need something to listen to on their morning commute. There’s the book itself, a series of follow-up emails, video interviews with couples who have travelled around the world (or are travelling right now), and we’re working on adding exclusive audio content. Oh, and we’ll give you a free copy of Craig and Linda Martin’s short book about how they manage to travel around the world full-time. And every time we make an update, you’ll get it for free!

So, you get:

• The Art of Couples’ Travel as a professionally designed and laid-out PDF.

But I don’t want all that! If you don’t want video, audio, an extra book or anything else we decide to add in the future, that’s fine … be that way! You can get just the PDF version (and the option for the extra emails and free lifetime updates) for $8.99. Click here for the lite version of Art of Couples’ Travel.

About the authors

This book was written by two couples: Craig and Linda Martin from the Indie Travel Podcast, and Jessica Ainlay and Daniela Heinrich from Globetrotter Girls.

About Craig and Linda Martin

This Kiwi couple met in 1998, became close friends in 1999, started dating in 2000, got engaged in 2001, and got married in 2002. Contrary to all expectations, they didn’t have a child or buy a house in 2003. Since February 2006 they have been travelling full-time, spending large amounts of time in Europe, South America and Australasia.

About Jessica Ainlay and Daniela Heinrich

The GlobetrotterGirls are a couple of serial expats turned digital nomads: Jessica, an American travel editor and writer, and Dani, a German photographer. When we met in 2006, we discovered that we both share a thirst for travel that can not be quenched by a few holidays a year. In 2010, the stars aligned and, as freelancers, we took our work on the road, kicking over the ‘bucket list’ concept and starting our ‘bucket life’. Since then, we have climbed volcanoes in Central America, swum with sharks in the Caribbean, road-tripped the California coast and the countryside of Tuscany, all while working full-time (from a hammock as often as possible).

OK, they travel full-time and that makes you jealous, but all their hard work should be rewarded — buy a copy of Art of Couples’ Travel and follow in their footsteps.

Reviews for Art of Couples’ Travel

“Art of Couples Travel takes you from ‘Go to Whoa’ and everything in between. Craig and Linda tell it like it is for couples planning to travel with their own honest stories, tips and thoughts. While there is no denying couples travel does take some work-if you haven’t already-by the end of the book you’ll be on the next flight out!” ~ Ant, Positive World Travel.

“Art of Couples’ Travel is extremely useful. I wish I had something similar when we began planning for our trip! The gadgets and insurance section were especially helpful to us since we still need to figure out those things before we leave on our travels.” ~ Kim, So Many Places.

“We took our first extended travel in 2000. We had some of the biggest fights of our lives during that trip, but we came home with a stronger bond than we had in the 9 years of our relationship leading up to it. Nothing makes a relationship stronger than sharing a life changing experience like reaching the summit of a mountain or visiting an orphanage in a remote village.” ~ Dave Bouskill, ThePlanetD.

“Traveling happily as a couple is an art form. Craig and Linda have put together a great primer for couples thinking about making travel dreams a reality. It’s loaded with great no-nonsense advice from a couple that’s been there and survived to tell the story!” ~Danny and Jillian, I Should Log Off.

“What I love about The Art of Couples Travel is that there is no sugar coating. Craig and Linda tell it like it is and provide you with useful, honest and practical ways to travel as a couple. Their honesty is refreshing as they show other couples that long term travel is a realistic (and amazing) lifestyle. Their love of travel is infectious and they are eager to share it with everyone.” ~ Elise, Positive World Travel.
