80: Traveling When Non-Monogamous: What to Know Before You Go


Listen Later

Planning a trip and your'e non-monogamous?

Traveling comes with its own unique dynamics and things to plan for, whether you're heading out on a solo adventure or exploring with a partner or partners.

In this episode, we dive into what that really looks like, and how those experiences can expand not just your world, but your relationships too.

We talk about:

  • Traveling together vs. taking solo vacations

  • How (and where) you might meet people while away

  • What happens when you do meet someone you like

  • The conversations and agreements that matter, before and during your trip

  • How boundaries, expectations, and connection can shift when you're out of your normal environment

We also share our personal experiences and practical insights around communication, honesty, safety, and staying grounded in your relationships, no matter where you are in the world.

And of course, how we make traveling fun—because yes, you can have adventure and emotional security.

✈️ Your action list if you're planning travel:

  • Practice honest communication about travel plans and personal boundaries

  • Get clear on agreements, especially if they may shift while you're away

  • Prioritize safety and STI testing when meeting new partners

  • Stay open to spontaneity while staying aligned with your values

  • Make space for both connection and independence
