You share both the glories and the obstacles. Still, it can be very rewarding.
If you plan ahead and keep in mind that you will need to both give each other space and communicate during the trip, you will be able to make your first time couple’s vacation one of the best adventures of your life.
Read the following practical tips for surviving your first time couple’s vacation.

Communicate About Desires
When it comes to a first time couple’s vacation with someone, it is very important to talk about what each person wants to do while you’re gone. Your interests and priorities may differ.
Inevitably you will want to do different things. It is important to compromise when you are going on a trip with someone, whoever it is. You should talk to each other about what you absolutely want to do and what is negotiable.
Through conversation, you will be able to determine what you will put on your itinerary. You will probably do some things that you don’t want to do, but your significant other will do activities they don’t want to do, too.
You may be able to find something valuable in an experience you resist. The most important thing is to communicate your desires to each other and plan your itinerary that way.
