Travel Guides’ most modern individuals, Melbourne-based Deepesh (‘Dee’) and Sage, may nonetheless be newlyweds (the duo tied the knot in 2017 after years of courting). Still, they reckon they’ve got this entire traveling as a couple of things down pat.
Firstly, they have got a delegated ‘planner.’
“Project control is my profession, but when it comes to tour, [Sage] is the planner,” Dee tells 9Honey Travel.
“Oh, she plans the whole lot to the tee! She suits each outfit of hers together with her footwear, and she packs 5 of hers and mine … I am inspired by her lists, her ticks, and crosses.”
Sage – who is also apparently the official ‘navigator’ – agrees with this evaluation. ” I can’t loosen up until the ultimate hairpin and rubber band are packed … I even have my yellow book, and I rely on pen and stale I move! I need my listing, right down to the minute information.”
Secondly, they have mastered the art of compromise (critical).
“Generally, we tour honestly well together. We used to bicker over what and the way to percent for the journey. Since then, we’ve made a percent; this means that he is not allowed to touch the bags anymore, except for lifting and weighing them,” Sage says.
Dee agrees; it’s far more peaceful now that she packs for both of them.
“I simply go together with go with the flow and gloss over itineraries, dates, and stuff; however, Sage is unique about most matters she does.”
Lastly, they have the same precise travel style, commonplace – you spot, it seems the newlyweds both share a rare urge for food for adrenaline.
To provide you with an instance, following their 2017 nuptials, the couple launched into an “adventurous honeymoon,” visiting around New Zealand’s South Island and partaking in thrill-seeking sports like bungee jumping and jet boating.
Ahead of the launch of this year’s season of Travel Guides, the couple is hopeful Australia will see their “cheeky and humorous facet” at some stage in the collection (“do not omit our ‘Taiwan’ episode”).
But do not anticipate smooth cruising all the way – the Indian-born Aussies may supplement each other well. However, they may be the first to confess they may not now be proof against the bizarre on-the-avenue hiccup.
“I am very ‘expressive’ and now and then outrageous while installing uncommon tour situations. I am also a chunk twist of fate/incident prone … Makes for humorous TV moments,” Sage teases.
For any couples considering equal adventure, Sage had this advice: “Be yourself, be expressive; allow yourself to pass. Try out something new, awkward, and interesting collectively, and you will enjoy it even extra. Remember that existence is brief. It is now or by no means.”
