Travelling for romance?

Romance is often the reason for travelling. Couples flying half way across the world to celebrate their connections, marriages, or because they just want to get away. They main point of the matter is that they are in love.

Love padlocks are a custom in which couples affix a padlock to a fence, gate, or bridge (any public space over water) and throw the key into the surrounding rivers and lakes to symbolize their everlasting love.

This custom has taken off around the world. Sweethearts have been founded declaring their love from Europe to Asia to Australia, affixing padlocks to their cities structures.
