When Was the Last Time It Was Just the Two of You?
This is week 26 of where we bring travel inspiration your way!
Somewhere between the grocery runs, the work calls, and the “we should really plan something” conversations — you two got busy.
This week, we’re pausing on that. Because a couples trip isn’t a luxury. It’s maintenance.
Here’s where we’d send you.
As promised…This week’s inspiration is all about Couples Trip!

Positano Doesn’t Do Small Moments
Picture this: you’re sharing a plate of lemon linguine on a terrace that hangs off a cliff, the Tyrrhenian Sea doing its thing below you, and the only decision left today is whether to walk down to the beach or just… stay right here.
That’s Positano. Every corner is a photo you didn’t plan for. Every dinner runs long because nobody’s in a rush to be anywhere else.
It’s the kind of place that reminds you why you liked each other in the first place — before the calendars got full.
✨ This Might Be a Great Fit If
We’re not going to pretend this trip is for everyone. Here’s how to know it’s for you two:
• You’ve said “we need to get away” more times this year than you’ve actually gone away
• Your idea of romantic isn’t a resort — it’s a table for two somewhere you’d never normally end up
• You want real time together, not a trip where you’re both just tired in the same hotel room
• You’re the planner in the relationship and you’re tired of being the planner
• “Someday” has been the answer for longer than either of you wants to admit

The Couples Trip Mistake We See Constantly
Booking the “romantic” resort with the infinity pool and the rose petals — and then realizing on day two that you’re both just… lying by a pool. Together, sure. But not really together.
Here’s the fix: build in at least one thing you’ll actually talk about for years — a cooking class, a sunset boat ride, a hike to a spot most tourists skip. The rest of the trip can be as lazy as you want. But give yourselves one shared story to bring home.

For Later: A Slow Week in the Douro Valley, Portugal
Bookmark this one. Rolling vineyard terraces, family-run wineries where the owner pours the tasting personally, and river views that don’t need a filter.
It’s quieter than Tuscany, less crowded than the Amalfi Coast, and exactly the kind of place that turns into “remember when we…” for years after.
