Today is the 11th of February, which means Valentine's day is only 3 days away. This year you won’t be able to go out for a romantic dinner, or go the movies to see a new romcom.
Another thing is the fact that a lot of couples’ budget has decreased with the loss of jobs due to the pandemic, so we are listing activities to do on Valentine´s Day without spending a fortune.
Watch the sunset on the beach
Romance doesn’t have to cost a penny. All you need here is a rug, a bottle of bubbles and yourselves.
