2. Adopt A Monkey
Every traveller cares – or should care – a lot about nature and the wildlife. Have you ever thought about adopting an animal? There are a lot of programmes to sponsor animals in need. As I’m passionate about monkeys I focused on monkey charities. I’m sure your other half will be happily surprised you added someone to your family, and you’re helping our precious wildlife! In return your partner gets a photo, story and updates from the adopted monkey.
You can choose to adopt the monkey on a monthly base, or a year. Here are a few websites where you can adopt a monkey.

3. Travel Literature
On The Road from Jack Kerouac is perfect travel literature. I found this book in a second hand shop in a tiny town in New Zealand, and absolutely loved it. It inspires you to go, do and live life. A perfect read for the adventurous travellers.
Price: $12,23

4. Sunset Romance
This one is free! Take a bottle of wine, a blanket and go to nice location to watch the sunset. Sometimes the simplest things are most beautiful.
Price: free
5. Scratch Map
Remember which places you’ve conquered together with the scratch map. You just scratch every place you’ve been to, and make your way through the world like this. This one is a poster size, and would look great in your living room or even toilet! Happy scratching!
Price: $28.99
6. Weekend Away
In case you’re all about grand gestures, a weekend away is pretty big! This doesn’t even have to be far away from where you live. Your significant other will be happily surprised and thank you at night ;). Have a look at what’s available and affordable.
Booking.com
If you have a bigger budget, you can also buy a cheap flight. I’d say it’s the top Valentine Gift Idea for travellers!
7. Road Trip Journal
This creative gift won’t cost you a lot of money. A road trip journal is great to write down those memories and keep track of your adventures. You can also get him/her an adventure scrapbook, make the first pages, and let your other half finish it.
These (cheap) books on Amazon can get you started for the adventure journal or scrapbook.
Price: starting from $3.30
8. Buy a Climbing (or other) Membership
It’s so much fun to sport together as a couple. What about a month climbing membership at your local climbing hall? You can explore a new and awesome sport together (or teach the other). You’ll have fun, and it’s a good workout!
If your partner is more into water sports, you can go for some surfing lessons! First you can practice a lot in your hometown, and then you can go and do those activities on your travels!
Price: ask at your local climbing hall
9. Bluetooth Speaker
I love my House of Marley speaker. It’s small, not too pricy and of good quality. It also comes with a carabiner. As outdoorsy people you should definitely choose a speaker that’s sturdy enough. A speaker adds to the cosiness and can set the mood for you and your lover after a long hike.
Price: $54.99
10. Multi purpose tool
Because a multi-purpose tool ALWAYS comes in handy.
Price: starting from $10
These were my top 10 original Valentine gift ideas for travellers. I hope there’s something perfect in there for your travel minded boy- or girlfriend!
