Romance guide: the Kempinski edition

by ARIANA DICKSON · 18 January 2024

My go-to way to celebrate love is with a getaway somewhere special. For couples, hitting the road is a magical way to strengthen connections – a shared exploration into new scenes, tastes, and life lessons. It sets the stage for laughs, those sweet, shared moments, and the crazy joy of exploring the world side by side. Whether you are relaxing on a romantic beach or tackling a mountainside adventure, each spot turns into a page in your love story.

Exploring a previously unknown destination can kickstart memorable conversations and longlasting memories. 

But travel isn't just about celebrating togetherness. There is something special about journeying on your own. Through solo adventures, I've found the opportunity to rediscover myself, savour solitude, and to appreciate the beauty of personal growth. Let's not forget about the gifts that bring back those favourite travel memories. Like that cosy scarf from the mountain trip or the scent from your favourite beach escapade – little love tokens that tell tales of our adventures.

Whether hand in hand with your special someone or jetting off on your own, travel is my absolute favourite way to deepen connections and strengthen trust with myself. As I've experienced relationships throughout my life, I've discovered how different destinations around the world cater to different love languages.
