If you have already been on a honeymoon, then what a bad luck that you didn’t get to read these precious tips. 

The innate curiosity of humans sometimes makes us seek new adventures in life. These adventures become a source of joy and happiness. This is what makes travelling such a joyful experience among humans. 

Honeymoon is not all about romance, it’s about emotional intimacy. They both are deeply related, the emotional intimacy is about the depths of emotional bonding and in depths is darkness and in dark is romance. But they still are different words with very different meanings.

This article is going to share some useful honeymoon tips that will guide you on how to prepare for a your romantic moment that might help you on your way to your journey abroad.

Plan Ahead:

 

A couple planning their honeymoon.

You should start planning as soon as you make up your mind about this lovely trip. If you are reading these tips, then you are already interested in planning one. Planning ahead is very important for travelling abroad especially if it’s the first time. Paper work usually takes some time and it becomes necessary to plan a schedule to align everything. 

 

Have an updated passport. Getting an updated passport is relatively easy but still you never know when things get stuck while processing official documents. If you already have an unexpired passport, don’t get too happy about it. There are many countries out there that don’t accept your passport if it’s getting expired in three to six months. click here to read on renew a passport.

Apply early for visas. You should apply for a visa as soon as you make up your mind about the destination. However, if you’re planning after two years, there is no reason to stress out for now.

 

Learn their language’s basic words: Although you can learn some words and sentences instantly from your phone according to the need. But it’s still better to learn some basic words and understand their accent. Otherwise it may happen that  a police officer stops you for a ticket and you reply with greetings and drive away.

 

See a doctor. It’s always better to see a doctor before travelling abroad. I have already told you the benefits of miscommunication so you shouldn’t be wondering why. 

 

 

Setting up the budget:

 

If you run out of money during your trip abroad, it may cause some inconvenience. Becoming a street performer is obviously not an option. You may end up calling your family and friends back in your hometown for help. However, it can still be a little embarrassing to ask anyone for a quick loan even if they answer in affirmative. 

 

You can save yourself from this sort of awkward situation by doing some research, but research alone can’t do anything for you if you are abnormally curious. You should be a little curious about the new things you see at a new place but you shouldn’t be trying everything you find there.

 

There are going to be romantic dinners, romantic accommodations, romantic places and romantic transportations. This romance is going to ask for extra fees every time. So you have to be realistic about the money and take more than you have actually calculated. This is the most important tip to keep in mind. 

 

One more money tip! Usually, it will be cheaper to use your credit card abroad for more purchases. Just take one big stack of cash out for cash-only purposes (street carts, bus fare, indie shops, tips).

 

 

Select destination and accommodation:

 

A couple in sun set and boy is proposing to the girl.

Decide and learn about the best destinations: You should think about the destination you want to go but do not end up getting there all alone in all the fuss and excitement. Ask your spouse where you can go and enjoy together. 

 

Most probably it’s your first trip to your chosen destination and you haven’t seen it before. So you shouldn’t get much excited about it and don’t argue with your spouse about whose friends and social media feeds are telling better. 

 

Accommodation: In hostels, rooms are dormitory-style with all the facilities shared. The myth that they are dirty, gross places to stay designed for young people is wrong. Many hostels offer more amenities than hotels and are really clean but the problem is that I am giving you tips and you are going to need more privacy than the hostels will provide.

 

Depending on your needs, budget and taste you can stay in a hotel and or a rental apartment. And if you happen to be an animal lover, you can stay in farms too.

 

Search online for accommodations and check the ratings and reviews. Someone might be telling the truth there and if the rating is between two to four, there is a good chance it’s real. 

 

 

Learn how to communicate back home:

Through the internet, you can connect with anyone who is willing to get connected with you very easily, but that’s only possible if you are connected to the internet itself in the first place. 

 

These are some options listed below

  • Local SIM Card: Buy local SIM card from any electronic store after landing
  • International SIM card: These SIM cards can work in many countries around the globe
  • Data Roaming: You can use your current SIM card from your country and it’ll connect to the local network allowing you to connect to the internet. Although it’s convenient, the charges are notoriously high.

 

 

Travel during shoulder season:

 

Bali

Every tourist destination has a peak season and an off season. Off season has cheap tickets and peak season is peak season. Now you want a good trip on a budget you can afford. So we’ll take the median

 

[Cheap fares(off season) + Peak seasonal]/2 = Shoulder season

 

This is called the shoulder season equation where tourism is constant and its value is 1 and it calculates when to go for a honeymoon. 

 

Shoulder season is the season between peak season and off season and it’s one of the traveling tips that should be included in this list of tips.

 

The advantage of planning a trip during shoulder season is that you get cheaper fares as compared to peak season and sometimes the weather even gets better than the peak season.

 

The other advantage of travelling abroad during shoulder season is that you might actually get to see more of the locals and their culture. Otherwise, you may be just “another tourist” for exhausted locals busy making profit from you. 

 

 

Avoid having just after the wedding:

 

A couple in front of Eiffel tower.

Having just after the wedding doesn’t seem to be a very good idea. First, one good thing just happened. Save the other potentially precious moments for some time later when you get a little bored and exhausted. 

 

Well that’s the thing that you will tell your friends. The idea of this tip is that the wedding should have already cost enough for you to not plan for a honeymoon in the near future.Even if you can barely arrange it, it’s still not a good idea. 

 

The second thing is the thing I have already discussed in the above honeymoon tip. The shoulder season… I haven’t explained all that stuff for nothing. Consider the shoulder season!

 

 

Share gifts to make it special:

 

A boy is giving a gift to his girl friend.

 I am giving you tips and It’s a couple’s thing, so of course you’ll have to exchange gifts with each other. If you are worried that an exchange might not occur, make sure your partner reads this too. 

 

Gifts are not only going to bring instant joy but they’ll become long lasting memories of your beautiful moments. Every time seeing these gifts will ignite the feelings of love and romance.

 

 

Capture every moment and relax:

 

A couple is walking and holding hands on the beach in their romantic vacation.

The last honeymoon tip is to forget about the past, your past, her past, his past, everyones past and stop thinking about the future and especially the kids. Be in the moment you’re in and feel every bit of it. 

 

Communicate with your partner about life and other things of your and her/his likings. Communicate without talking but your partner shouldn’t be complaining about you talking in sign language. It would absolutely cringe. 

 

Experience the other cultures and places you visit together and as discussed earlier, if you go on the shoulder season, it is more likely that you’ll get a chance to see the local culture more deeply. The differences and similarities you get to see will make you truly appreciate the beauty of it.

 

Comfort your partner but not like a stranger. Maintain a balance between the outer beauty of destination and the inner beauty of relationship. Don’t get obsessed with any one. 

 

This special moment becomes one of the memorable parts of people’s lives. You and your partner leave your house for an adventure, for a destination and most importantly the company. You play, you sing, you talk… You get to spend some quality time away from all the distractions even if for a time being.
