1. Their story began in Singapore

Edwin, Malaysia & Nicolas, Spain

Hardest when traveling as a couple? We have a lot in common so that makes it very easy when we travel together, no problem 🙂 
Bucket List? Sydney for a new year and we’re planning for Europe trip in 2017.
First met? We text each other on Instagram when we both just moved to Singapore before we organized a dinner to meet. My (Nicolas) English was terrible but we got along well on our first date 🙂

Top 3 parties? Songkran in Bangkok, White Party BKK and Zoukout Singapore.

2. Valentine trip to wonderful Thailand

Bernardo, Brazil & Adam, USA

Hardest when traveling as a couple? The hardest part for us is our sense of direction, Bernardo is not so good with giving directions. I drive and many times he has given the wrong directions 🙁
Bucket List? The next place will be to Leesburg, Florida and then in February, we will go to Thailand for two weeks during the Carnaval period in Brazil.
First met? We both exchanged a “few” liked on Instagram 😉 and first met at a little café. It was so lovely!
Best trip together? It will be Christmas because this is the first time Bernardo will visit a small city in the USA. I will show him around and he will also get to meet my crazy family 😉
Top 3 parties? We try to avoid “big” parties but we did really enjoy “The Week” in São Paulo.

3. Water Fight Songkraner!

Pete, Bangkok & Clarence, Kuala Lumpur

Hardest when traveling as a couple? Surprisingly nothing difficult as we both have a lot of similarities and I like to plan our trips in advance, which that helps 🙂
Bucket List? We’ll be heading to Koh Samet in October (the most popular gay island in Thailand). 
First met? We met in Taipei over dinner with our friends. I (Clarence) chose to sit opposite Pete. We exchanged eye contact halfway through dinner and I moved my legs forward to footsie with his, lol
Best trip together? It was in Hua Hin, Thailand to celebrate Pete’s birthday but it felt more like a honeymoon for us. Really romantic and we enjoyed the private pool the most. 
Top 3 parties? White Party BKK, Songkran in Thailand, Divine Bliss the 1st anniversary Party in KL. We’ll be heading to ZoukOut in December SG, White Party Bangkok, and Songkran11 🙂

4. From Chicago to charming Asia

Kyle & Jason from Chicago

Hardest when traveling as a couple? Honestly, it’s pretty easy. BUT we share shoes & clothes so sometimes there’s competition to grab what you want first! haha. Jason has zero sense of direction and relies 100% on me (Kyle) 😉
Bucket List? We’re planning to visit Asia next year. As we’re closing out the year strong with few trips before we relocate from Chicago to Miami to escape the winter.

5. Taipei is calling!!

Hardest when traveling as a couple? We don’t really have problems at all. We have the same interest even for food. We try to plan our trips early which makes it easy this way.
Bucket List? Next city is Taipei, as I’ve heard people said great things about nature and we’re totally down with it 🙂
First met? Our first met was at the gym where I worked, I (Tack) steal his phone number from the gym reception system and we were in a relationship 3 years later 😉

6. Bali, is it on your bucket list?

Hardest when traveling as a couple? Finding & making the time to take vacations is the hardest. So we have to do a lot of advance planning and preparation. You guys should too 🙂
Bucket List? We really want to go to Bali and Asia. It seems like the perfect balance of the history and architecture alone are worth seeing and those gorgeous beaches.
First met? Technically we met on a dating app, so there’s absolutely hope!! 🙂

7. Thai hospitality at Banyan Tree Mayakoba

Top 3 parties? Circuit Barcelona, Mykonos Xlsior and Songkran in Bangkok.

8. Next summer to Europe

Daniel & Conor from New York

Hardest when traveling as a couple? Well, we generally like similar activities. But the only difference is that Daniel is more of a night owl and Conor is an early bird, so compromising is needed 🙂

First met? We met through mutual friends and our first date was at Hillstone, a restaurant in Manhattan, New York.
