Find out what YOUR love language is<\/strong> \u2763\ufe0f <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing scarier than finding out your partner or loved ones make for terrible travel buddies (trust me, been there, done that.). Instead of spending the entire trip in paggro silences and forced smiles for pictures no one wants to smile for, wouldn\u2019t it be great to find the perfect vacation personality type that suits your dynamic just perfectly? Something that would leave everyone feeling appreciated and not want to pull their hair out? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cue love languages. Love languages were conceptualized by author Gary Chapman in his 1992 book The<\/em> 5 Love Languages<\/em>. It\u2019s based on his observations while counselling couples and describes ways in which people express love and affection in a relationship. Though they might seem designed primarily for romantic relationships, there\u2019s no reason to not apply them to platonic relationships too (wherever appropriate, of course). Look for the little tells in your partner or loved ones that give away the moments they feel most loved and appreciated to make travelling the truly enriching experience it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to know which love language fits you and your partner the best and start planning your next escapade! Here\u2019s our take on some unbeatable travel locations to travel with your loved ones \u2014 love language edition! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Words of Affirmation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If your heart secretly melts at the \u201cText me when you reach home\u201d line every time you\u2019re leaving, you\u2019re probably dealing mainly in the Words of Affirmation<\/strong> love language. Simple \u201cI love you for\u2026\u201d or \u201cThank you for\u2026\u201d does wonders for the relationship, and is absolute music to the ears of those who have this love language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If words of affirmation are the key to your partner\u2019s heart, then don\u2019t hold back from hitting the most romantic spots for your trip. Stand under the shimmering lights of the Eiffel Tower<\/a> (can\u2019t go wrong with that one, not in the City of Love<\/strong><\/a>) or take a Gondola ride in the canals of Venice<\/a><\/strong> as the boatman sings to the evening. Walk holding hands on the beaches of Maldives<\/strong><\/a>, removed from the rest of the world. Discern the delicate marble work on the tombs of the Taj Mahal<\/a> in Agra<\/a><\/strong>, built as a testament to love itself! The appeals of these spots are sugar-sweet and rose-tinted but hey, isn\u2019t that the entry-level requirement for being in love? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Of course, words of affirmation aren\u2019t all about grand gestures to the magnitude of skywriting \u201cI love you\u201d or lighting up Marina Bay in the proclamation of your love. It is, of course, just reinforcing your connection with each other. How about going snorkelling <\/strong>in Mirissa, Sri Lanka<\/a><\/strong>? It gives you a perfect opportunity to be present and appreciative of your partner as you take on activities together. Or hike hand-in-hand in Jeju, South Korea<\/a><\/strong>, and you will also find yourself surrounded by other lovestruck couples \u2014 being the romantic destination it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Acts of Service<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who get a warm, fuzzy feeling at the tiny things their partner does for them without any prompting, like remembering their coffee order, throwing together a quick meal for them on a busy day, or keeping the AC temperature just right (because somehow they always run cold), then their love language is most likely Acts of Service<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travellers who appreciate acts of service like to keep it cosy and are willing to put in the work to fall back into their natural rhythms while travelling. Imagine a homestay or property rental where every morning starts with a homecooked breakfast and ends with dinner plans at your dream restaurant that need at least a month\u2019s prior reservation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Actions speak wayyy<\/em> louder than words for these people \u2014 just like understated destinations laden with histories that are waiting to be explored. Tour Stonehenge<\/a> in the vast plains and romantic moors of England<\/a><\/strong>, or explore the everlasting edifices of the Acropolis<\/a> in Athens<\/a>,<\/strong> and visit Petra<\/a> in southwestern Jordan<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a long weekend in the massive temples of Angkor Wat<\/a> in Cambodia<\/a><\/strong>. If you\u2019re looking for something more cozy, consider Cape Elizabeth<\/a>, Maine in New England, USA<\/strong> for a red and orange, Gilmore Girls-esque fall vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Receiving Gifts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, let\u2019s clear any misconceptions about those whose love language lies in Receiving Gifts<\/strong>. The love language often gets a bad rep for being materialistic, when in fact, it represents affection through a tangible and memorable token. So it doesn\u2019t have to be the size of a diamond-studded ring or first-class air ticket, because even a small trinket would suffice. Get them a snack from their favourite store, surprise them with flowers on your next date, or get them the Uniqlo Airism T-shirt in every colour. As long as it says you were thinking of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If your partner speaks this language, think of a trip that brings tons of souvenirs. Go down the busy market lanes in Hong Kong<\/a><\/strong> from local street boutiques to high-end malls in Causeway Bay, and stroll down Tokyo\u2019s<\/strong> Akihabara district<\/a> to find the most newfangled gadgets. Take a dip in pure luxury at the extravagant, skylit Mall of the Emirates<\/a>, Dubai<\/strong><\/a> hoisting the mighty Kempinski Hotel. But it doesn\u2019t have to be this<\/em> fancy. You can walk down the cobblestone streets of Lisbon<\/a> and visit cheap flea markets with endless, priceless trinkets that will always be the conversation piece in your relationship! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Physical Touch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the wise and germane words of Nick Jonas, space is just a word made up by someone who’s afraid to get too close \u2014 and those of the Physical Touch<\/strong> love language live by this philosophy. Straightforward as it is, \u2018physical touch\u2019 comes with a simple expectation: Be present with your partner, mind and body. Especially the latter. If nothing feels more loving to you than a quick kiss before you leave for work, or if nothing is more recharging than a bear hug from your best friend, then you surely speak the tongue of Physical Touch to express your love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From innocently sleeping on each other\u2019s shoulder on the plane to morbidly canoodling with each other in every picture (while everybody else is struggling to ignore the PDA), Physical Touch dominators have the best time in each other\u2019s physical company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour over a map together and choose your ideal locations. Of course, Paris<\/strong><\/a> allows for a lot of hand-holding without judgy onlookers (wait till the bedbug crisis subsides, though). Consider a summer in Iceland<\/strong><\/a>, cosying up in the hot spring spas with geothermal pools and snowmobiling across icy plains. Keep warm together exploring the glaciers and caves that look right out of Elsa\u2019s castle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of Berlin<\/strong><\/a> for your trip, filled with eclectic nightlife perfect for being close to each other and whipping out your best dance moves. Cruises and resorts are also ideal for this type, where there are workshops and events galore aimed specifically at couples travelling together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Quality Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Travelling together on a vacation itself is an exemplar of Quality Time<\/strong>, so if this is your love language you\u2019re already one step ahead. Those with Quality Time as their love language suggests, ask for only one thing \u2014 undivided attention. When they\u2019re telling their partner about their day, there is eye contact, active listening, and strictly no mindless scrolling graced with occasional nods. From a simple gesture of putting the phone down to actively and equally planning a 10-day trip together, Quality Time enthusiasts don\u2019t bother too much about the amount of time spent together but enforce the quality<\/em> aspect of the deal instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A perfect vacation for the Quality Time folks is a trip in the wilderness or in a cabin in the woods, disconnected from urban distractions. Go on a long road trip across the magnificent flowering fields of New Zealand<\/strong><\/a>. Fly over Cappadocian Fairy Chimneys<\/a> in a hot air balloon blessed with a breathtaking view and a champagne breakfast in Turkey<\/strong>. Go scuba diving in the waters of Malta<\/a><\/strong> for spectacular views of corals and archaic shipwrecks that rest on the seabed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for something less enervating, take it slow in Maui, Hawaii<\/a><\/strong> and relax on the golden beaches with a deck of cards and stories to swap. Just live in the moment with your loved ones, and all will be well.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
