Travel's the kind of activity you can always embrace on your own. There are fewer worries, fewer arguments, and more moments of peace and quiet.
But there are, of course, times when you'd rather travel with a loved one -- and if you can't, it's kind of a bummer.
Not convinced? Then talk to Vipurva Parikh.
The Mumbai-based photographer wanted to embark on a one-month backpacking journey last November, but found out his girlfriend couldn't make the trip.
Parikh eventually went on with his journey alone, but packed a few extra items: a chalkboard and "plenty of chalk," according to the photographer's Vimeo page. What he made next was a tribute to his girlfriend with one simple message: "I wish you were here."
On his journey through West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Bhutan, Parikh stopped to take photos of fellow travellers and locals, according to his Facebook page. Each person helped him deliver a heartfelt message to his lady love back home.
As the subjects posed, Parikh would scrawl lyrics from Ryan Adams' "Wish You Were Here." And when he finally returned home, the traveller edited and composed his photos to make this video. Mobile readers can watch here .
Is your heart melting yet?
