Spending Valentines at Home? Here Are 5 Ideas to Surprise Your Partner with A Travel Themed Date

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and as much as you’ll see love in the air, there’s a deadly virus floating around too. With Covid cases on a rise again, a lot of outdoor plans might take a hiatus for a while. Does this mean a boring Valentine’s this year as well? Absolutely not!

It’s 2022 and there are so many things that you can do within the confines of your home to spend an enamored Valentines this year.

So, if you’re someone who’s looking for some Virtual Travel Date ideas, here you go:

Do a Travel Movie Marathon

Come on! Some hot chocolate, buttery popcorn, fairy lights and all your favorite travel movies don’t make you feel romantic then what will?

Spend some quality time with your partner watching travel movies from around the world and making your travel plans for future. Need some movie suggestions, here are my picks:

- Eat Pray Love

- The Inbetweeners 2

- The Beach

- Letters to Juliet

- A Good Year

- The Darjeeling Limited

- Into the wild

Also, if you and your partner are daring long-distance, don’t worry, use platforms like Hearo, Watch2gether, Syncplay to watch these movies together and have a little romantic date.

Learn Something New Together

Nothing will bring you closer than learning a new hobby together. Have been wanting to learn more about travel photography or journaling? Attend online workshops to excel your skills while getting to know each other better.

The best part? There are workshops/classes for literally everything today so you won’t run out of options. Maybe learn French for your next trip together to Paris!

Take Virtual Tours

A lot of platforms today offer virtual tours of Museums, tourist attractions and streets from across the world. So, instead of sulking at home, attend these virtual tours to learn something new about the world and each other!

Make Your Own Book Club

While you can’t go out to explore the world yourself, learn from the experiences of wanderers who have. Start your own two-person book club with your favorite authors and brewing hot coffee at cozy corners of your house. This’ll not only help you spend time together but also give you so many new conversation topics to know each other better.

Become a Trivia Master

For all those competitive couples out there, it’s time to put your partner’s travel knowledge to test by creating a fun Travel Trivia. Pick places that you’ve visited together or individually and quiz each other on facts about those places. The winner gets free dinner and the loser does all the house chores for a week, and trust me, during pandemic, this is the best prize you can get.

So what are you waiting for? It's time to create the safest and best Valentine's Day surprise for your partner. Let Love beat Covid this year.
