I mean, come on. You're a 24 year old, attractive sailboat captain. It's easy for you, and for guys in general, to meet women. For the rest of the world- the average looking, people in their 30's, people who are not young, and blonde, and Swedish, meeting a person who also loves to travel is almost impossible. It's rare as hell to find another person willing to spend years abroad, and most men in their 30's and above are looking for 20-something Swedish chicks. Try being a 30-something American woman for a day. But I'm not bitter. Really. This article is kind of silly. I mean, come on. You’re a 24 year old, attractive sailboat captain.

I met my husband in a similar way. Just 2 days after meeting at a Peace Corps staging, we were seated next to each other from JFK to Paris en route to Eastern Europe. One of our first conversations was about finding a long-term traveling partner! Three months later we were engaged and two months after that we were married. That was three and a half years ago and we have been traveling and living overseas in different countries ever since! The ironic thing is that both of us swore up and down before we left the US that we didn't want to be in relationships while overseas! I believe the secret is to be doing what makes you happiest, and you will find others who share the same interests and everything will fall into place :) What a sweet article.

Brings wonderful memories (and tears) to my own travels. I am from the US and went to AU for a bike ride across the Nullarbor. I was going because my job was getting to me. I met my husband on the trip. He had pancreatic cancer and although we had less then 2 years together they were the best of my life. Uganda, Kenya, UK, US. Live life with your heart. Great article.

Except for bushman clicks perhaps.

I could not agree with you more. Having spent four years travelling in Africa with my Land Rover, I saw exactly what you experienced, whenever I did end up at a backpackers. (sometimes I felt the need for partying and "meanigfull overnight relationships!") I have met the love of my in the same manner as you, but at the wheel of the Landy. She is also a Swede! And that is the reason why I now live in Sweden! Kan du talar svenska? När kommer do till Sverige? Kanske vi kan träffa varandra och gÃ¥ ut för en öl... Great article!

Now that I’m married, there’s nowhere I’d rather be than where she goes; but I’ll never forget how good it feels to find trust outside of romance." Beautifully put, Daniel. “Sometimes romance isn’t a factor in finding your perfect travel partner.
