I can’t think of a better place to meet the love of your life than in an airport. You already have something important in common: you both like to explore. You generally have a couple hours to get to know one another too, as well as something interesting (and self-revealing) to talk about: your destinations. Moreover, the sparks may fly–because novelty triggers the dopamine system in the brain, heightening one’s susceptibility to romance. And there are real perks to traveling with a partner. Together you can resolve travel glitches; your mate may contribute some unanticipated adventures too. Most important: traveling is fun. And as the great poet, Robert Frost, summed it up: “A joy must be shared.”
