My Prefix can hold special moments forever

Surely, you will bring me when going abroad

Add a letter to my Infix

And you may just find your soulmate

OK, new try:

You want to go to

Cambridge

You'll probably bring a

Cam

to hold special moments.

If you add the letter

e to brid you might have found your bride

And for the suffix

I am again lost. I go with GE standing for genetic engineering.

I'll give it a try with

Cambodia

You'll probably bring a

Cam

to hold special moments.

If you add the letter

n to bod you get bond - Something you'd from with your soulmate.

And for the suffix

if seen as an acronym ia or maybe dia has a lot of possible interpretations, that roughly fit the riddle text, as for instance impact assessment for ia, or the drug information association for dia.

Doesn't fit as snug as I'd like, but worth a try I guess.

Do you want to go to

MINDANAO?

My Prefix can hold special moments forever
Surely, you will bring me when going abroad

Your MIND can hold special moments forever.

Add a letter to my Infix

DAN; your soulmate could be DEAN? Or DANI?

My Suffix was formed nearly 4 decades ago
I believe it has something to do with tests

The NAO (National Audit Office) in the UK was formed in 1983, 35 years ago (nearly 4 decades!) and performs audit tests of various governmental organizations.

My whole is where I have been dreaming to go

The island of MINDANAO, in the Philippines!

Cameroon

Prefix:

CAM = Camera/Camcorder

Infix:

ERO = Add a letter to get Eros, Roman God of love.

Suffix:

ON = Actually not sure how this fits the clue, probably an acronym for something.

Cambridge (although last time you wanted to go to oxford :P )

Prefix-

Cam, short for camera for capturing moments forever.

Infix-

brid, add an e it becomes bride, your future soulmate.

Suffix-

P.S. i just saw @Karsten also got most of the answer, guess i was a little late to the party, but i did figure it out myself.

Do you dream to go to a

CAMPFIRE?

My Prefix can hold special moments forever
Surely, you will bring me when going abroad

CAM, short for camera.

Add a letter to my Infix
And you may just find your soulmate

Add the letter W to IF to get WIF and you may just find your soulmate (because you are short of another letter). Also, if you look at the moderated word now, it reads "campWIFrE" which is read with an r (your soulmate). This is a bit of a stretch, nevertheless, especially after having to swap the positions of I and F.

My Suffix was formed nearly 4 decades ago
I believe it has something to do with tests

IRE which refers to Northern Ireland, where many test cases took place between the $1960$-$70$s (for which more information on that can be found here)

My whole is where I have been dreaming to go

You want to go on a camp (whole) with a CAMPFIRE?
