"My sister and I have always been close in the kind of way that only siblings with a two-year age gap can be. We grew up sharing everything from wardrobes to the same old hand-me-down phone. As adults, though, life has pulled us in different directions. She's 33 now, I'm 31, and somehow, we spent most of our twenties living in different countries."
"We both initially wanted different things from the trip, which became clear right away. I'm the kind of traveller who makes lists of places to see, things to eat, photo spots - all mapped out by the hour. My sister is the exact opposite. She's a "let's see where the day takes us" kind of traveller."
"For years, our relationship existed through text threads sent from different time zones. We vicariously lived through each other's adventures, always promising, "When you come here, I'll take you there." Somewhere along the way, it became a pact: that when we finally got the chance, we'd travel together - somewhere offbeat, away from the crowds and big cities. We finally made it happen in Liechtenstein"
Two sisters remained close despite spending most of their twenties living in different countries. One sister moved to Singapore at 25 while the other stayed in India, later moving to Ireland and the Netherlands. Communication mainly occurred through time-zone-spanning text threads with promises to visit. The sisters made a pact to travel together to an offbeat, quiet destination and finally visited Liechtenstein during a Christmas visit. They chose the tiny, postcard-like country for its quiet, introverted energy. The sisters had differing travel styles—one a meticulous planner, the other spontaneous—but the trip helped them reconnect and appreciate their differences.
