Where you go on honeymoon might well say just as much about you as how many tiers you have on your wedding cake or which music you choose for your first dance but, who cares? Sod the stress, forget traditions and go for something, anything, that you both really, really, want to do.

This is your chance to upgrade, splurge, discover, learn, hide, hug, love, eat, pray – whoa there! Anyway, you get the picture. If you're a responsible traveler and want to find honeymoon ideas that strike the right balance of romance, relaxation and enjoyable things to do, then read on and don't hold back when it comes to adding all the bells and whistles. Safaris in Kenya, trekking in Thailand, cycling in India; whatever you want to do: cogitate, collaborate and celebrate, as this may well be the last chance you get before reality bites.

A honeymoon is less about a destination or a posh hotel and much more about experiences and corresponding memories. Honeymoon ideas also add the extra special twists that come from a tailor made tour and raise the bar on what would otherwise be a typical vacation. The phrase 'trip of a lifetime' is perhaps over-quoted but if you're heading on safari in Tanzania or sailing in the Caribbean or watching the Northern Lights from the back of a husky drawn sled, what else are you going to call it? Tobago, Bali, the Galapagos, Portugal, Wales - where you go doesn't matter, it's what you do when you get there that counts.
