Let's travel together. Why traveling couples are happier. They learn to budget

Together. To experience what it's like to be close to each other in an unfamiliar place. The two of you need to step out of your comfort zone. Make a temporary escape from reality together. Live in the present. This is an incomplete list of goals they can set for themselves. The joy and satisfaction of achieving goals is enhanced when someone can share them with you.

They understand each other better

Disagreements exist in every relationship. Traveling together improves communication, teaches you to listen to each other and understand the other person. Respect for other people's feelings is a strong foundation for relationships. On the road, the couple learns to make compromises.

They learn to budget

Let's face it, traveling is expensive. Two people are more likely to find several ways to decide how to reduce spending on a trip. They understand the value of money that is not saved for the future, but used for travel. They learn to give up unnecessary spending so that they can later invest money in shared memories.

They renew their relationship

Relationships are full of ups and downs. Some linger in a state of “falling.” Traveling after a difficult period in a relationship rekindles love. It reminds people of the reason why they should be together.

They share jokes

No journey is complete without funny incidents, which are so nice to tell later. This experience teaches you to approach many things easily and with humor. Besides, nothing brings people together like the ability to laugh at themselves together.

They reveal their inner self

When traveling as a couple, people have little personal space. You can't hide your shortcomings here. Love cannot be called real until your lover says something like, “You are so beautiful without makeup.” A man or woman accepts his partner's shortcomings and understands that this is an important part of the relationship.

They value life more

When forced to step out of their comfort zone, couples who find themselves far from their usual places begin to appreciate what they have more. They realize how much they miss their families and become more attached to them. Traveling makes them more receptive and grateful for all the little good things that happen every day.

They feel joy trying something new together

Trying something for the first time is always exciting. The excitement doubles if there are two of you. Lovers teach, motivate each other, help each other overcome fears and do something. This support system makes relationships stronger.

They become best friends

The couple is connected not only by a romantic relationship, but also by friendship. Lovers do everything that best friends usually do. They accept the failures and shortcomings of others. They push each other to be better than they are. They forgive and forget insults. They appreciate every moment spent together. They communicate every day. They don't hide anything. They respect and understand. Together, they compensate for each other's weaknesses and move forward.

They live interesting lives

No, the life of travelers is not like a fairy tale. They don't just stop and wait for a happy ending. The traveling couple creates their own happy moments (long before the happy ending). They avoid violent scenes, realizing that it is a waste of time. They enjoy spontaneity and different incidents. They want more movement. They don't worry about the future because they live in the present.

Of course, you don't have to travel to be together. And traveling will not guarantee that you will be together forever. It's up to you. Love is the main reason why people stay with each other. Understanding. Ability to talk with a partner. Confidence. Traveling will not replace such important things, but it will give you a sense of belonging, teach you to understand the true value of being together, and bring the joy of shared moments. So enjoy life and each other!

Cats travel too. Not alone, of course, but with their owners, to the veterinarian, for example, or to an exhibition. In order for the trip to be successful and bring maximum pleasure and comfort to both parties, you need to follow several rules.

First of all, it is worth developing a travel route. Don't forget to buy a carrier (container). Don't rely on a bag or box; the cat can free itself and run away. It’s better to spend money once and buy a really good container - plastic with an iron door. Then your pet will be completely safe.

Carriers made of waterproof material with zippers are very popular among cat owners. However, in the summer they are hot and stuffy, and your pet can easily open the zipper.

Take documents for your pet with you, even if you are going to visit. To travel by train with your pet you will need: 1. Veterinary passport with vaccinations. 2. Certificate No. 1 (it is issued at the animal disease control station 3 days before departure).

It is better not to feed the cat before the trip. If the trip is long, it is better to take food with you. Dry food will be a good helper in this case. It is better to take water from home, boiled in a glass container. Take toilet paper with you, you never know what might happen on the road.

Traveling in a car

Under no circumstances let your cat out of the carrier into the salon! It may fall out of the window or prevent the driver from driving the car. It’s good if you buy dark container covers for each season. So, the cat will feel calmer and more comfortable in a darkened carrier. Make sure that the cat is not blowing, otherwise it may get sick. Treat your pet with special care and attention on the road; the cat may be afraid and worried. Check in periodically to see how she is doing.

Train travel

Don’t forget your veterinary certificate at home, as well as a receipt for your cat’s fare, otherwise you won’t be put on the train. Bring toilet and tissues with you. On the train, do not let your pet into the carriage, even if you are traveling in a compartment. There were cases when a cat got out of the compartment through the ventilation grilles. Miraculously found!

Some cats may be particularly nervous about the trip and may start meowing and scratching at the door. Don't be soft - don't let the cat out! Otherwise, placing it in a container will be very difficult later. Watch your cat carefully, try to catch the moment when she needs the toilet.

Traveling by plane

Before booking tickets, check the conditions of certain airlines for transporting animals. There are airlines that prohibit the transportation of animals in the cabin, only in the cargo hold. Others are more loyal - you can transport the animal in the cabin, there are only weight restrictions.

If you are traveling to another country, check what documents the host country needs. Usually this is the same certificate No. 1, but it will need to be exchanged for an international certificate. You will have to pay for the transportation of your pet as excess, approximately 1% per 1 kg of the animal’s weight along with the container.

Cats, like people, react to flying: air pockets, takeoff and landing also make them nervous. Before giving your cat sedatives before flying, consult your veterinarian, but keep in mind that sedatives lower blood pressure, which is especially dangerous when flying and can negatively affect your pet's health.

There shouldn’t be any problems at customs; the cat doesn’t need to be recited. If you come to the exhibition, you can show your invitation card; in any case, there have been no problems with customs lately.

If you apply these simple tips, then traveling together with your pet will bring joy not only to you, but also to your pets.
