Travel has an amazing way of strengthening relationships (and sometimes even breaking them, but let’s focus on the positive). . A big part of this accelerated growth and bonding is forged through the challenging, stressful, and trying moments. During our first 3 months dating, we traveled to South America, where Amanda ended up in the ER (2 times!!). While this was extremely stressful, our relationship grew through these stresses. Of course, we bond over the blissful times too. . Last night Amanda, Royal and I spent a few hours at the Bonneville Salt Flats (where they set land speed records with rocket cars). Driving down a little incline from the highway brought us onto a perfectly flat desert plane made of brilliant, white salt. It was bizarre. . What was originally an excuse to take a break from driving through the hottest hours of the day turned into an extended photo shoot as the sky turned pink and the shadows faded into a soft blue & purple hues. . Far from stressful, this amazing moment together on the salt flats was one of those times when you look at your partner or dog or both and in that moment of letting go and enjoying the world around you feel an amazing closeness & togetherness. . Moments like these, as brief as they may be, strengthen relationships more than a sedentary existence can. Our best advice? If the road calls you, travel together and grow together ❤️❤️❤️ (at Nevada) -- source link
