I have a random week off coming up between projects and seriously need to get out of the city (in a safe socially distanced manner), but haven’t been able to find any friends able to go anywhere. Have a guy I’ve been talking to/going out with but haven’t established if we’re anything serious - would it be weird to ask if he wants to go on a trip? He has a decent bit of flexibility in his schedule and has been on a couple trips lately, so think it could work, but no idea how to broach the topic

Would need more context, but I would not go on a week long trip with someone if we weren’t serious. Too much risk.

Same, how long has it been?
Are you comfortable talking about finances?

Maybe so majority of the trip alone and he can meet you there for few days?

I say go for it! No better way to get to know someone than to travel with them 😂

How to broach the topic: “hey what are you doing x week? I have some time off and am planning a trip. Want to join?”

And then commence planning like you would if it’s a friend.

Things to consider: budget, sleeping arrangements, backup plan if you hate each other or he’s a weirdo
