The 12 Types Of Couples You Meet On Your Travels

I share this list with you, at the risk of sounding like a bitter old maid.

1. The OMG-He-Proposed-Out-Of-The-Blue Couple

Yes, I caught that Facebook update and the flurry of congratulations in the comments. But say what-- you never saw it coming? So you just happened to be in that eggshell-white dress on your hike up the mountains?

2. The We-Met-In-Exotic-Far-Off-Location Couple

Can you say summer fling? Get a room already.

3. The We-Are-Just-Friends Duo

You were probably travelling with other friends, and had a crush on each other forever, but it took a fateful rainy day which made clothing unnecessary or really see-through to shake things up.

Now that you've hooked up, your friends will probably be forced to spend the rest of the trip acting as unwilling photographers.

Congratulations, you two.

4. The Only-Half-A-Couple

Honeybooboo has to be away for two whole weeks? Boohoohoo.

Good luck, it won't be easy tearing them apart.

5. The Honeymooning-So-In-Love Couple

Chose a picture-perfect, super-romantic spot that's also perfect for voyeurs, eh?

6. The Adventure-Seeking-Backpacking Couple

'Cos you're both so adventurous and outdoorsy and athletic and I'm stalking your travel blog/Instragram/Tumblr.

You seem to be leading the perfect life, but it's hard to hate you 'cos you're really cool and friendly.

7. The Power-Travel Couple

Don't forget to check in on Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter AND geotag that photo on Instagram while the rest of the world is stuck at their tiny, grey office desks.

8. The Break-Up-Already Couple

The bitter, bickering duo. Please stop getting back together and giving each other the stink-eye on the road. It's making the rest of us really uncomfortable.

On a side note, I notice the honeymooners and other too-in-love couples looking worried, so thanks for giving them a heads-up on what's to come.

9. The Just-Not-A-Couple Single

Off you go on that soul searching, life-changing trip, my recently dumped friend.

10. The New-Baby-Complete-Family Couple

The honeymooners were about to approach for some marriage secret tips when that cute weetle baby started bawling.

11. The We-Have-Semi-Grown-Kids Couple

You've got a good thing going, guys, contrary to what your kids may say. Also, they're too embarrassed by your PDA to make loud, bratty noises. Score.

12. The Couple-Of-All-Couples

You're still travelling when you're wrinkled and grey. You're still in love after years and years of pissing off each other. Go ahead and make out in that airport lounge. You've earned it.
