Would you think me silly if I told you I tuck messages of love to my husband in his luggage before he goes on a trip? Or maybe I am cheesy because I spend time searching for new ideas for love notes, Instagram captions about love, and travel quotes for lovers?
My husband, Chris, is a seasoned business traveler. Prior to the pandemic, he was traveling every week across the United States and around the world.
You might think it is hard to keep the romance alive with so much travel, but we have learned along the way how to keep a “long distance” relationship strong and happy.
Why Write Love Notes for Travelers?

When Chris was jetting around the world, friends would often ask “Where’s Chris this week?”, and if he was within the United States, I would joke, “Oh, he’s just local this week.”
Sometimes he would have meetings in numerous countries during one trip and I would shrug my shoulders and say, “I’m not really sure where he is right now!”
His business travels have taken him to six continents and numerous states and countries world wide.
As Chris prepared for his trips and began to pack his Briggs & Riley suitcase (highly recommended if you travel frequently), he was very purposeful in folding his dress shirts just so, stuffing socks into his dress shoes to save on space, and using packing cubes to organize clothing and ties.
Chris mastered the art of packing for a week-long business trip in one carry-on size suitcase.
On one of his multi-country, multi-week business trips a number of years ago, I surprised Chris with LOVE NOTES tucked and hidden throughout his clothes.
NO WORRIES, I WAS CAREFUL NOT TO MESS UP HIS PACKING SYSTEM!
He LOVED the love notes and kept being surprised each day as he planned his clothing for the day and found the messages of love.
I even tucked love notes into Chris’ “dopp” kit (toiletries kit). It is always fun to find a note when you brush your teeth for the night right?
Those DIY love notes for him were just the thing he needed when he was wishing for home.
Adding messages of love to my husband in his luggage on international trips became a thing.
Coming up with new and creative love notes for my traveling husband had me scouring Pinterest and the internet for the best travel quotes for lovers, romantic Instagram captions for lovers, ideas on what to write in a love note to my husband, and for the most romantic captions about love.
Sometimes, I would even number the notes so that he would know how many love notes were hidden in his luggage.
There were even a few times when Chris didn’t find all of the love notes and came across them later on shorter business trips within the United States.
These love notes always brought a smile to his face.
Since he was traveling so often, it was a small and simple way for us to stay connected and keep our relationship strong and happy.
Do you have a frequent traveler in your life who would appreciate love notes while they travel?
Or just someone who makes you feel special?
And FYI, these captions about love are not just for those who travel!
These DIY love notes make the perfect message to a girlfriend, cute lunch notes for boyfriend, and love message for your wife; they are perfectly awesome to tuck into someone’s lunch, to place under a pillow, or to hide around the house.
While Chris was away on one of his trips, he collected the notes, took a picture, and posted on Facebook:
There are lots of reasons Jolayne is awesome. But this one is especially great and worth sharing, even if personal. Going on frequent business trips around the world may seem luxurious and amazing, but in truth it’s really hard missing so much of what goes on at home. Sometimes it’s a real drag. Mostly it’s just hotels, restaurants, airplanes, and offices.
On my last trip, Jo hid over a dozen notes in my luggage for me to find throughout my trip. The kids even pitched in with their own notes too. What a pick me up! It made being gone for three weeks just a bit easier. Thanks babe for being so supportive!
A-ma-zing!
Chris

I LOVE this idea so much! I send daily notes in my kids’ lunchboxes during the school year. It’s such a fun way to connect with our loved ones. If my husband starts traveling for work again, I’ll have to remember to do this for him as well. <3
That’s a lot of creativity everyday for lunchbox notes. Good work.
Love notes are so fun! I need to get back to writing them.
This is such a cute idea! I am totally going to leave a note next time!
This is so awesome! I totally want to do this for my family. 🙂
Ah this is such a cute idea! I used to travel a lot for business and it is hard being away from home so much. I would have loved to receive some of these! Thanks for the great idea!
My husband is hoping to get back to travel someday, so I will have to come up with more notes!
I love the idea of slipping love notes into a bag. What a nice surprise when the bag is opened in a new city. I am sure they brought a smile to your husband’s face. I may steal this idea and start leaving them around the house.
Perfect. The love notes don’t have to be just for travel.
this is the sweetest suggestion! i am 100% doing this for my BF the next time he has to travel for work… especially now with travel being a bit more hectic, he will just adore this when he unpacks.
Sounds like he is a lucky guy!
This is a very sweet idea. It reminds me of the notes my mom used to put in my lunch as a kid.
Everyone loves a love note!
I love this idea! Thank you for sharing the best love notes for your favorite traveler.
This is a fantastic idea! I love how you made it easier for us by giving a bunch of ideas – my brain always seems to shut off when I’m trying to decide what to write in a note.
This is such a sweet idea, and how nice for your husband to unpack his suitcase and find these little love notes! I’d love for someone to do this for me!
Such a sweet idea! I have hidden little surprises in the luggage for the kids before, but maybe I should hide some notes for Hubby too!
I bet he would love the surprise.
What a great list you have going on in the article! I used to put notes in my husbands bag when he traveled for work.
These are so sweet! I love the idea of stashing sweet love notes for someone who travels alot.
What a thoughtful and sweeet post! I pinned for future reading! And will be stealing some ideas! 🙂 Too good to resist!
