My response to "Don't date a girl who travels"

Don't date a girl who travels because she is easy to please. All you need to have is a taste for adventure. Though she may be impressed by your fancy watch and new car, she knows that life experiences are so much more important.

You'll spend all of your hard earned money on expensive plane tickets and find yourself sipping fancy cocktails by the ocean. You'll have to get used to sleeping in strange beds and eating foreign foods. Instead of burgers and fries, you'll eat banh mi from a food stall or drink fresh juice out of a coconut from some man's street-side cart.You'll have to be ok with a high risk of food poisoning. But trust her, fresh fish can be so delicious.

You'll get "talked to" by your boss for putting in so many vacation requests but it doesn't matter because you still need a full time job to pay for all of these trips. However, if you're able to balance work and play time, the reward can be great. You can complain about your boring job but she will only remind you of the many things you have to look forward to and be thankful for. You won't need to live paycheck to paycheck because she is financially responsible or else she would not be able to lead such an adventurous life.

Don't date a girl who travels for she is independent. She has a free spirit but can appreciate a home and the value of putting down roots. But only if that's what she wants. She may not be the most creative or artistic but if she is good for her. Everyone knows you don't need to be crafty or a yoga instructor to appreciate Mother Nature and all she has to offer.

Though she may never need you to keep her happy, she is grateful for someone who may want to share these experiences with. She might forget to check in with you every day but that's only because she may have lost her wi-fi signal. She is considerate, thoughtful and loving all while still being exciting.

So never date a girl who travels unless you can keep up with her. And if you unintentionally fall in love with one, don’t you dare keep her. Let her go join her on her journey.
