We both travel a lot and see each other sporadically anyway (maybe two weeks of being inseparable with a week or two apart) but we are coming up to a really long stretch apart. He travels for long stretches for work and the next year I am moving abroad to study for the year. We spoke about travelling as part of our relationship before we got together and we both said that it didn't bother us that we would be apart for long stretches somewhat regularly.I've never done long distance before and therefore not too sure what I need to watch out for. We are both really excited for our travels over the next 3 months, I think that will take the edge off it as we will be busy anyway. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or tips on long distance relationships, or any problems/how to avoid them :) We are in places with good communication so we will be in contact pretty regularly anyway but I really like this guy and want to make this work for us.Thank you in advance!

 You are very young to be tied in a long distant relationship, but if it is what you both want then go for it. But it will be difficult, you will miss each other, meet new people ect. You just both need to make an effort to see each other, and make time for each other, plenty off communication is good. Be honest with each other about how you feel at all times.

 I think you should agree to park your relationship until you are able to be together again. You are going to miss so many opportunities for new friendships if you are worried about stepping over some line you fix for yourself.
Don't limit your possibilities for enjoying your time studying in a foreign country. Go with the flow.
