Five tips on how to have the best holiday this romantic season

Travel photographer and avid traveller Jeffrey Kieffer recently completed a week-long road trip across Tasmania with his partner Mabel from Camplify, Here are his top tips on how you and your significant other can have the best holiday this romantic season.

1. PRE-BOOK SURPRISES:

Tip: Plan a pre-booked experience or meal along your road trip to surprise your partner,

Why: It adds an element of excitement and thoughtfulness to your trip, creating lasting memories that will stay with you forever.

2. ALIGN YOUR TRIP GOALS:

Tip: Discuss and agree on your trip ‘goals’ beforehand, whether you want an adventurous or relaxing holiday, you should discuss openly with your partner beforehand to ensure you both get the holiday you want.

Why: Doing this beforehand helps to avoid misunderstanding and disappointment, ensuring a more enjoyable journey with shared expectations.

3. EMBRACE SPONTANEITY:

Tip: Leave a couple of nights open for a spontaneous decision or last-minute extension at places you enjoy.

Why: Allowing room for spontaneity adds an element of surprise and flexibility to your trip, making it more dynamic and allowing you the opportunity to make the trip more memorable.

4. TAKE IT SLOW:

Tip: Plan longer stays at each location, two to three nights is the ideal amount of time to fully immerse yourself in a destination.

Why: Rushing from place to place can be stressful, which can increase tensions. Staying longer enhances the travel experience and allows for a genuine connection between yourself and your surroundings.

5. CAPTURE UNPLOISHED MOMENTS:

Tip: Take pictures just for you and your partner. My favourite way to capture these in-between, unpolished moments is on a disposable or film camera.

Why: Capturing candid snapshots allows you to cherish the memory forever. We love to create our travel pictures into a post-trip photo book, making a travel keepsake that we can look back on in years to come.
