Questions people ask

Where should couples go for a weekend getaway?

Somewhere within a few hours, with one thing you can't do at home: rock you can climb with a guide, a natural wonder you've only seen online, a coffee or tea farm, a beach you reach on foot. One anchor activity is enough; leave the rest of the time loose.

How do you plan a weekend trip as a couple?

Agree on the kind of trip before the place. Swipe the ideas here to see whether you're both after adventure, rest or food, then pick a destination that fits. Settle budget and travel time early, so nobody is surprised on Friday.

What if one of us wants adventure and the other wants rest?

Split the weekend: a big morning out, a slow afternoon. The swipe round helps here because you only see ideas you both said yes to, which is usually where the compromise is hiding.
