<human>: Recently I started seeing a girl she's everything I want in a girlfriend and I'd known her on a more professional level for about 6 months before we started having romantic feelings for each-other and dating.

I developed feelings for her while travelling in the same group, she travels quite a bit I travel some of the time. Basically right now she's working overseas for 4 months and going though about 6 different countries some she will have very limited to no internet access. Currently she's in a remote part of Asia and has to walk twenty minutes to go to an internet cafe which doesn't have skype but we are able to talk over Facebook.(Can't install software).

In about 4 weeks she'll return to my home for 1 week before leaving again and return in 3 months.

I'm currently working full time so it is difficult to talk to her due to time zone differences a lot of the time but usually we are able to make something work. 

This will be a reoccurring thing in our relationship at the end of this year she will have to travel again for 4 months, but will have a reliable internet connection for the most part especially on her weekends and I might be able to fly to visit her during a small amount of her time off.

Are there many couples that have been able to make this sort of situation work? As our relationship is quiet new, although we've known each other for around 8-months can this situation work?  

Can someone give me some advice on how we can feel closer? I worry that our relationship will fall apart because it has been so difficult to spend time together.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Girlfriend travelling for long period of time 4 months, advice to help the time go faster and strengthen our relationship? She'll be back for 1 week shortly and then gone again for 3 months.
