It used to be said that you could test the mettle of a relationship between two people if you just put them into a canoe and told them to row across a lake. Once that other shore was reached, the ones stuck in the canoe would always know just how much more time they’d like to spend with their fellow rower. In this modern day and age, though we may be less oft to canoe around, I think it’s funny to think about how true the fabled “Canoe Test” still is if you just put two people into a plane and waited for them to return from their travels. Travel allows for the dynamics between people to go into play and learn just how well of a bond can exist between you and another person. It doesn’t take very long into a trip to know whether there are any regrets about taking along your travel buddy, and just the same, you can tell right away how good of a pair you make.
