Bonus: Long Distance Love — What It’s Like When Your Partner Is A Travel Writer
Kathryn with her husband, Keith Marks, on a bike tour with the Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan.
The life of a travel writer typically means months at a time spent away from home. Both Kathryn and Eric have been asked in the past—many, many times—how we hoped to find love with that kind of lifestyle, or if we planned to “settle down” and stop traveling so much when we eventually met a romantic partner. But despite the odds, we’ve both found significant others who, far from discouraging us from taking trips, appreciate how our passion for travel drives us and encourage us to see as much of the world as possible.
Eric and his partner, Jeff King, enjoy a whale-watching stroll along the beach in Malibu during one of Eric’s previously rare stints at home.
During normal times, that is. This past year has been completely different. With everyone locked down and working from home, including us, we’ve had to find new ways to relate both to travel and our partners, Keith and Jeff. We thought listeners might enjoy hearing their perspectives on what it’s like being with a person who travels for a living, including how they handle our personal... shall we say, quirks. And how everything has changed lately.
