101. Using Travel to Enhance Intimacy, with Marilee & Paul Kostadimas

There are many different ways for a couple to connect. For Marilee and Paul Kostadimas, it has always been using travel to enhance intimacy – from the day they met on an archeological dig far from where either one of them lived. Rugged travel, luxury travel, educational travel, service-based travel, leisure travel, historical travel, and many other kinds of travel form the defining backbone of this couple's beautiful, intimate marriage. They live by the mantra, "meaningful travel is part of a meaningful life" and they see themselves as travel partners in life, through life, and for life. While this shared value has been there since they met, it has evolved over time and taken many different shapes over the course of their long, nourishing marriage. The Kostadimas' share their love story and how travel became so important to them and has enhanced their marriage–so much so, that they started a company, Spotlight Sojourns, to inspire and connect others wanting to enjoy more meaningful and varied travel together.
