Travelling with one's partner in a campervan for a year provides an excellent, if not gruelling, test for newly married couples; it amounts to "couples therapy" on wheels but without the therapist. Not only does one learn a tremendous amount about one's partner but also about oneself. There are a few endeavours that couples should avoid; three that come to mind are wallpapering, navigating, and being in each other's company 24/7. After travelling for a year with my partner, I can say with absolute authority that putting up wallpaper with one's partner is nothing short of life-threatening. Navigating and constant companionship did put us to the test a few times but fortunately there were no casualties. None that I noticed. Think "Fawlty Tourists on Wheels" and that would accurately sum up our year-long meanderings in Sharki, our trusty wannabe 4x4 campervan that took multiple terrains in her 2.8-litre stride. If one has a year to spare, I highly recommend throwing caution to the wind and embarking on a zero-itinerary adventure with an open mind, a strong stomach and your very best friend at your side.
