When couples disagree about travel style and deeper purpose

My partner and I have been planning a three-month sabbatical trip for years and now that we can finally do it, we're discovering we have completely different visions of what it should be — they want structured itineraries and bucket-list sights while I want to drift and see what emerges. We keep compromising on logistics but we've never actually talked about what we each hope this time away from our regular life will do for us.
