Who We Are

Why We Started Travels For Two

Our Mission

Hello! I am Gel Santos Relos, and you may know me for my work as a news anchor, radio and television talk and magazine show host, and Op-Ed columnist in the Philippines and here in the United States. My husband is Dr. Rene Relos, a General Surgeon who recently availed early retirement and is now working part time as Traveling Surgeon so w

My husband and I have been together for more than 44 years, married for more than 40. Like many couples of our generation and middle class upbringing, we lived a "linear" life -- we went to college, then got married, immediately built a family, worked hard to give our children a brighter future. Somewhere along the way, we lost who we were as a couple.

Marrying at the young age of 21 and being saddled with all the responsibilities, demands, and stressors of raising our four children and our careers -- we almost lost each other, until we made a conscientious and inspired decision to re-invest in our relationship.

Re-investing in a relationship and in each other does not just mean taking big vacations and grand adventures. It also entails purposely nurturing the relationship in our everyday life -- the routine, the ordinary. What seem to be mundane moments of each day can be extraordinary, magical, and truly transformative.

We are now in our early 60s, and since availing early retirement, we have been working together as a team more than ever. Doc Rene is doing part time Locum Tenens work as a traveling surgeon, helping fill staffing needs of hospitals in different towns and cities in the United States. I am his communications and marketing executive assistant and I travel with him to all his assignments.

I have also now transitioned from broadcast and print journalism to storytelling on my digital platforms -- working on my blogs, video channel, and a travel podcast which I co-host with my husband. We talk about things we are passionate about - travels, food and wine, music, arts, movies , history, health, family, relationship and public service.

I read somewhere that to find our true calling, we have to look at our scars that remind us of our pains and struggles and how we transcended them by the grace of God.

This is at the core of what " Travels for Two" is all about.

Our Mission

Why We Started Travels For Two

Our Mission

Our mission is to share our travel experiences and relationship hacks, provide valuable travel information and tips to my readers. We believe that travel is one of the best ways to learn about the world and ourselves, expand our horizons, broaden our minds, and grow together in each new discovery. Truly soul expanding!

We understand that n

We understand that not all can afford to travel early in life, and that was us! We know that we just have our obligations to our family and our children to prioritize given our limited resources, and that was us too! Some would just choose to travel when all the kids have graduated from school, thinking they would just start traveling when they have retired -- at 65? 70? 75? Others just didn't care, and would prefer to save and invest their money, or just go shopping. Nothing wrong with that -- we are all free to choose the kind of lifestyle we want to live.

Sadly we have met so many couples who delayed allowing themselves to enjoy the gift of travel. And right after retirement, most of them said they should have done this earlier in life and spent their late 60s to 70s traveling like honeymooners.

Others just started their travel adventures after retirement, but unfortunately, one or both of them started having health and mobility challenges that stopped them from traveling again. But we have met couples in our trips when the husband/wife was using a cane to walk, or was already in a wheelchair, yet these couple still continued to travel despite the inconvenience because of the joy and the learning they get when they were on a journey together. I personally know couples of who waited until after retirement even if they had the means to travel, but unfortunately died even before fulfilling their dream.

Other couples grew apart and had separated or divorced before retirement. Through the years, they had less time for each other, less common interests, less mutual goals and aspirations, less dreams to pursue and realize together. Over time, the only ones that bind them were their children, and when the kids have moved out, they were left to the deafening silence and emptiness of what used to be their home. They painfully realized they did not know each other anymore. The spark was lost, the passion was gone, the love they used to share and cherish has died.

We do not claim to be travel nor relationship experts, but we hope to inspire other couples with our own transcending experiences so they, too, may be inspired to work together toward living their best years still ahead of them together, a day at a time. An adventure at a time.
