Traveling Without Brandon

All I have ever wanted to do was travel and see the world. Wanderlust ranks far above having kids or owning a home. The opportunity to collect new experiences is the most important thing in the world to me. When I got serious about dating and finding a partner, it was one of those qualities that ranked highest for me.

Of all the things I love about Brandon, his love of travel is one of the main things that motivated me to pursue the relationship further. Yet, over the past six years, we have not been able to chase our passion together as much as I would have hoped. Sure, we have taken some flights to reconnect with friends and family. There have been road trips, day trips, and even some solo escapes, but there have been no grand adventures. There have been no cross-country journeys. There have been no international trips. There have been no days finding ourselves lost in a strange city. At this point in the relationship, we have not been able to fulfill one of the main passions that drew us to each other.

There has been lots of solo travel on my part. I have driven across the country a couple of times. I have found myself on epic road trips and smaller journeys to new cities. I have collected these experiences without Brandon standing by my side. This is something I want to desperately change.
