So, you’re going on your first holiday together. Congrats! You’ve advanced to the next stage of your relationship. Planning a holiday as a new couple can feel a bit like playing a game of Snakes & Ladders. There’s the potential to climb new heights, but there’s also the worry you’ll go tumbling back to square one.
Whether you’re planning a staycation or an indulgent wellness escape, booking a trip as a new couple is one of the relationship milestones new couples are most eager to reach. New research by TUI BLUE reveals over a third of new couples see their first trip as one of the biggest relationship tests. When you’re in the heady throes of the honeymoon period, it can be hard to think beyond buying some new sleepwear (or lingerie) or updating your luggage if you want to spare yourself the embarrassment of hauling a zebra-print hard-shell suitcase up the rope ladder of a romantic Cornish treehouse, as this editor once did.
