Does anyone travel with their SO?
I'm just curious....I've never been in a relationship where I give a damn enough to wanna stay by their side. But this time is different. :couple:
I don't plan on going anywhere without my pooky.
Anyone ever travel in tandem with your SO, whether male, female, Vulcan, romulan, android, whatever floats your boat...?
Re: Does anyone travel with their SO?
Um first of all why are you always so damn hilarious? Your posts always crack me up. Second do you mean travelling to work at other clubs or just travelling with your SO in general?
If you're talking about travelling for work that'd be a no for me. I hardly get to see my boyfriend as it is he works constantly. And I think he might be uncomfortable in a new place if I went off to dance for hours and left him in a hotel or wherever. My bf doesn't come to the club if I'm working he gets waaaaay too uncomfortable.

Tempest,
Yes, I have traveled (once) with my boyfriend for a 'travel dance' stint in the Midwest. He was on his way out there for a work trip for his own job. Initially, it was my bf who asked me to go with him on a road trip to his job site as he didn't want to go so far alone. I remembered Tina's list of midwest clubs and contacted one about an hour from where he would be working and they agreed to my coming out with about 10 days notice.
After a few days on the road, the first part of the trip was in his work city, second part was in mine. It worked out very well. If the booking would have been longer than the standard 6 day booking, I would have gladly stayed.
Because a longer stay wasn't pre-planned, however, it seemed like it would be unfair to ask him to also stay for another week or so because he wouldn't have necessarily been able to work at the same time.
We spent a lot of the daytime watching movies we rented or exploring the town and went out to two interesting, reasonably priced restaurants. My leaving to work at night wasn't too different from the routine back home. I made sure the club knew he was my boyfriend, we were lodging at a weekly rental hotel and that hewould be dropping me off every night in the car we rented and they were fine with that.
He never stayed at or visited the club and I'd recommend that to other dancers wishing to travel-dance with the boyfriend in tow, unless it is a HUGE club and he's only visiting once to see what the club is like or something.
So, to sum it up, yes, it can be done and I was happy to have done it. I'd recommend it to dancers, perhaps not EVERY time they travel, but that it can be ideal if your partner has work nearby/can work from his computer, etc, and is familiar with your nightly routine. For this reason, maybe a partner you've already been living with for a long time would be better than a newer boyfriend who may still be adjusting to their new gf's nightly absence routine!
Good luck!

Yes but it was pretty boring for him so he usually stays at home now.

Not for work, but I do travel a lot with my boyfriend. We spent a month travelling around India at the beginning of the Summer, in 2 weeks time he's driving his van from Scotland to France, so i'm flying back over there just to do it with him, then next Summer we're doing a road trip through Italy, Greece and all the countries in between on the way back.

My ex came with me on a stripping trip once, but he got really bored of hanging out in the hotel room and was too pathetic to go do anything so he just texted me incessantly, and it was really annoying. I ended up only working one night when I had wanted to work 2-3 because I didn't want to deal with it again.
I guess if your SO doesn't suck you might not have this problem though :)
Re: Does anyone travel with their SO?
Never to strip but I've taken bfs on other business trips. It's fun.
It's kind of a dream of mine to meet a hot web nerd or something and float around via small RV while I strip and he does his own projects.
Or go out of country together.
;)
It can be stressful is your partner doesn't travel well. Start small.
