This week, I’ve hijacked another blog to bring you stories and tips for traveling lovers, so please head over to almostfearless.com where I’ve turned October into Lovetober to bring you Love and Travel Week.
What is Love and Travel Week, you ask?
Couples travel conjures images of romance and steamy make-out scenes on shorelines. But lovers who embark on epic adventures are destined to spend a lot of time together. Being thrust well outside your comfort zones into cramped vehicles, dingy accommodations and hectic cities will put any relationship under pressure. Those who manage to survive the bumps of life on the road know a thing or two about making relationships last.
Love and Travel Week is featuring stories of love from travelers, as well as maintenance tips from experienced nomadic couples so you can make sure your relationship doesn’t break down in the middle of nowhere. Tune in for heartfelt stories and helpful tips on Almost Fearless.
Thanks to all of the contributors for sharing their intimate stories and relationship tips, and a massive bear hug to Christine Gilbert of Almost Fearless for letting me take over her über famous blog for a whole week.

I could definitely share some stories of traveling together as a couple. After being married less than 2 months, my wife and I went to Paris for Thanksgiving. It was a great trip but let’s just say it was a huge learning experience as well. 🙂
Do tell, Jeremy!
This is such a brilliant idea! I’m 2/3 of the way finished with your novel and I’m just crazy in love with it. I brought it with me to the beach this past weekend and I was going to send you a Twitpic but my iPhone died.
Thank you Andi! Did you resuscitate your phone?
I love this idea and have enjoyed all of the articles so far! It is a great way to celebrate the release of your book! (Which I loved!) 🙂 Congrats!
Thanks Jillian! Yes, it’s a great bunch of articles. I’m very proud of my contributors. Kim Dinan from So Many Places is up next!
Torre, I happened upon Almost Fearless a few months ago and while following that great blog was introduced to yours. What good fortune!
I can admit that traveling with a significant other is a test and a treat. But I rather have a fight in any other place than home; when abroad there’s no place to run and the s&^t has to be worked out quick!
