Beach Walks, whale watching, and wine tasting – the Oregon coast is ideal for a low-key gathering in a stunning natural setting. When temps cool off in fall so do the crowds. The charming town of Cannon Beach is only 1.5 hours from Portland and set on a gorgeous stretch of beach. September also features the annual Earth & Ocean Arts Festival. 

Oregon Coast Highlights

-Enjoy Oregon’s spectacular coast on oceanfront trails or beach walks.

-Spot grey whales. Relax seaside with a glass of Oregon Pinot and a set of binoculars, or take a whale-watching tour.

-Follow the “North Coast Craft Beer Trail” or the “North Coast Food Trail”. Even better, do both.

Nashville Girls’ Trip

If you're looking for exciting girls trip ideas, look no further than Nashville, Tennessee, where you can find exciting events, good food, and plenty of things to sightsee.
If you’re looking for exciting girls trip ideas, look no further than Nashville, Tennessee, where you can find exciting events, good food, and plenty of things to sightsee.

Nashville combines the soul of music, the flavours of the south and an interesting history in one fun-filled destination. There’s nothing quite like seeing aspiring singers perform in a honky tonk bar; it’s a quintessential Nashville experience. Some might say that riding a mechanical bull is another, but we won’t go that far.

What to do in Nashville

-Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge is the classic spot for live music, but that’s just your first stop on Lower Broadway. Let the bar hopping begin. 

-Channel your favourite country-music star on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Grand Ole Opry House. 

-Explore one of Nashville’s trendy neighbourhoods. In “12 South” check out Imogene + Willy and the flagship location of Reese Witherspoon’s store, Draper James. Afterward, celebrate your shopping wins with a fancy cocktail. 

Savannah Girls’ Trip

Getting inspiration to gather girls trip ideas can be difficult, but once Savannah, Georgia, is on the table, you'll be overflowing with ideas and fun things to do in this cute, historic town.

Fall in Savannah is ideal, not too hot or cold, it’s just right. This charming southern city lends itself to leisurely walks admiring stately homes in the shadows of towering oaks. The food is also fabulous and the fall weather is often ideal for a beach visit. 

Savannah Highlights

– Take a walking tour through Savannah’s historic district to admire the well-preserved architecture and gorgeous homes. 

– Enjoy a meal at one of Savannah’s culinary standouts such as Husk. 

– Visit Tybee Island for some beach time, only 20 minutes from Savannah. 

New York City Girls’ Trip

You can't come up with girls trip ideas without considering New York City. Here, you can explore all the sites - like the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, and the Rockefeller Center - or you can see a Broadway show, enjoy the food, or visit the museums.

There’s nothing quite like the energy of New York City. There’s truly something for every girl on your trip, and since New York is made for walking, fall is the perfect time  to visit. 

See & Do in NYC with the Girls

-Walk the Highline for an elevated view of the city’s architecture and the Hudson River. 

-Visit the Museum of Modern Art. It’s not all contemporary – it has a diverse collection of art from 1880 on, including Van Gogh’s Starry Night. 

-Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to see the city skyline and get a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty. 

-Shop, eat, drink. Repeat. 

Boulder Colorado Girls’ Trip

If you’re looking for girls trip ideas for the adventure lover, be sure you check out Boulder, Colorado. This place is perfect for anyone who likes activity!

Boulder is a cute city at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with a fun outdoorsy vibe and great food. Add to that nearby Rocky Mountain National Park, and this is a girls’ trip for ladies who like to be active as well as indulgent. 

Exploring Boulder

-Visit Boulder’s pedestrian-only “Pearl Street Mall” for dining, shopping and art.

-Explore Rocky Mountain National Park for spectacular scenery and wildlife viewing. Fall is ​​elk breeding season so don’t be alarmed if you hear a strange howling sound. The elk are just looking for dates, also known as “bugling”.

-Take a hike to get up close to the Flatirons, Boulder’s iconic sandstone rock formations. 

Maui Girls Trip

One of the best girls trip ideas for fall is Maui, Hawaii. There are endless things to do, the weather is perfect, and you can expect better prices!
One of the best girls trip ideas for fall is Maui, Hawaii. There are endless things to do, the weather is perfect, and you can expect better prices!

All of the Hawaiian islands are beautiful but Maui has the perfect combo of relaxed luxury and lots to do – ideal for girls who like to mix beach time with being active. Bonus: Maui prices are typically lower in fall than summer and the weather is ideal until around mid November.

What to do on a Maui Girls Trip

-Maui is known to offer the best snorkeling of all the Hawaiian islands, much of it right off the beach. Take a day trip to nearby Molokini, a volcanic crater with exceptional visibility and 250 fish species. 

-Explore Paia Town on the windy north shore. The nearby beaches are a great spot to watch pro surfers and windsurfers.  

-For serious foodies, have a meal at Mama’s Fish House, considered one of the best restaurants in the U.S. by TripAdvisor. It’s pricey but unforgettable. Book waaaay ahead. 

Napa Valley Girls’ Trip

One of the classic girls trip ideas would have to be Napa Valley.
One of the classic girls trip ideas would have to be Napa Valley.

Harvest season is when Napa Valley really comes alive. Green leaves become tinged with gold and the air fills with excitement – and the smell of crushed grapes. Lots of special events are held in fall, so your group of gals will be entertained. (Note: unlike other destinations on this list, fall is busy in Napa so book ahead.)

Napa Trip Highlights

-A wine tour will allow you to imbibe without having to drive, and learn important things like the difference between cuveé and demi-sec.

-Napa may have as many spas as wineries. Spend the day enjoying thermal pools, getting a massage and lunching, with a glass of wine of course.  

-Fabulous dining abounds in Napa. Try Bistro Don Giovanni for delish Italian in a lovely setting. For brunch I loved the Boon Fly Cafe. Santé!

Palm Beach Girls’ Trip

If your ideal list of girls trip ideas includes relaxing times at the beach, warm weather, and upscale dining, then Palm Beach, Florida, is the perfect location for you.
If your ideal list of girls trip ideas includes relaxing times at the beach, warm weather, and upscale dining, then Palm Beach, Florida, is the perfect location for you.

Palm Beach is in fact an island, adding to the serenity and appeal of this gorgeous town in south Florida. With stunning beaches, upscale dining and chic boutiques this is the spot for girls who like a luxe getaway. Pass the champagne. 

Fun in the Palm Beach Sun

-Meander on Worth Avenue, a mix of high-end designers, galleries and creative up-and-comers. Stop in at Lilly Pulitzer’s store and enjoy a cocktail while you design your own Lily shift dress. 

-Get a glimpse into the gilded age with a visit to the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, the railroad tycoon’s stunning estate.

-Cruise the intracoastal waterway on a catamaran adventure or yacht charter. Time to refill the champagne glasses. 

Austin Girls’ Trip

Girls trip ideas that are chill, fun, and filled with plenty of music and good food should be based out of Austin, Texas.

Austin in fall, y’all. Fall is a great time to visit this fun-filled Texas town. Enjoy live music, eat delicious street food and float in a swimming hole on a warm afternoon. September and October are still hot, but not the unpleasant “Texas-summer” kind of hot.  

What to See and do in Austin

-Enjoy live music at one of the small venues in the Red River cultural district.

-Get out on the water with a paddle on Lady Bird Lake, or take a dip in the local “swimming hole”, the Barton Springs pool. 

-Find a hidden Austin speakeasy and have a fancy cocktail. You’ll feel like you’re breaking the rules, but in a good way.

Sedona Girls’ Trip

Sedona has some of the most stunning landscapes on earth, so if you're looking for memorable girls trip ideas, be sure you consider this gem.

Fall in Sedona

-September will still have hot summer weather. By October, temps begin to cool, an ideal time for a more active girls’ trip. There are over 400 miles of trails nearby. You can also see the stunning rock formations on a Jeep tour.

  • Samarkand the second time was even more magical! Since I went here last year, they’ve now started doing these “flying dress” photoshoots at Registan Square for around $67, which was definitely worth it!

Go super early (6:30-8) to avoid anyone in your photos AND to avoid annoying other travelers trying to take photos 😬

We also got a few group pics with the Travel Tribe! It’s definitely been extremely fun being here a second time with them!!

  • Kyrgyzstan is rising in popularity as a unique travel destination and its easy to see why!

From the beautiful nature to the well preserved culture, plus being extremely safe, it really makes it an ideal destination, but definitely expect some logistical hurdles 😁

Horseback riding in Chon Kemin and visiting Ala Archa National Park are a must! That's also where we learned about the Golden Eagles, a centuries old tradition practiced by their nomad culture that is still done today, mostly to continue keeping the traditions alive and teaching visitors about it.

Do you want to visit Kyrgyzstan?

This trip is in high demand so if youd'd to join one of them, please follow there and sign up for our notifications email list linked on the bio, as we dont publicly announce or send out our itineraries. 😁

Kyrgyzstan is a gem for those who love pristine nature and unique well preserved cultures!

  • I was one of the last foreigners permitted in Virunga National Park in D.R. Congo before it was closed due to many armed and dangerous groups occupying it. 

That experience was one of the most memorable ones in my life, and part of why I’ll always say DRC is one of my favorite destinations I’ve been to (4 times).

But DRC is also one of the most corrupt countries, with some of the most horrific ongoing atrocities committed on the local Congolese people, the environment, and the animals by greedy, heartless humans.

Deforestation, illegal mining for minerals used to make your electronics, and destruction (plus human abuse) are a part of why the animals there suffer.

Poaching for bushmeat and to steal baby primates to sell as pets is another.

If you’ve ever seen a primate, especially chimpanzees, kept as a personal pet or on display, its parents were likely killed so it could be kidnapped. UAE and Gulf countries, Thailand, China, Eastern EU countries, and even people in the USA are all guilty of this.

That’s why one of the organizations I’ve become an ambassador for in D.R.Congo is @lwiro_primates . 

Lwiro Primates take in injured, abandoned, and smuggled primates, and they rehabilitate and care for them, even during a time when their own homeland is a very scary please.

So I am kindly asking today on World Giving Day for Apes, to send them a donation, or at least share their story or the info in this post. Anything helps, nothing does not.

And if you ever see a chimp as a pet, please ask the owner if they’re aware that its parents were likely killed just for it to be kidnapped and forced to be a pet. 😡

The link to the fundraiser is on Lwiro’s page and I’ll share on my Stories!

I’ve brought about 100 travelers to D.R.Congo, and they all can attest to what a beautiful and unique place it is. I pray and dream for the day that we can safely return there and bring tourism back.

  • The highlight reel of Skardu, Pakistan! If you'd like the behind the scenes, see my previous posts or the story highlight! But also, yes, it really is this beautiful!

Do you like pretty highlight reels or do you prefer the struggle clips? 

Asking for a friend...who has a lot of both... 😬
  • The Photo VS the Moment in Skardu, Pakistan (wait for the videos after the photo) for anyone who thinks getting photos is easy, behold, freezing water, climbing on rocks, and magical geese who apparently want to be featured in the pics.!

(Comment "Skardu" and ill DM you my full travel guide plus how to get notifications for the group trip next year!)

What's the wildest thing you've done for a photo??

Thank you Destination Pakistan for the offer to work together and for helping get this footage so I didn't have to always use my tripod or selfie stick!
  • Just confirming that Haveli restaurant has the best rooftop view in Lahore! Make a reservation because it's always busy and ask to sit closest to the mosque!

The entire building of Haveli is beautiful and fascinating! A former mansion that's ornately decorated, and located in an area that was formerly infamous for..brothels!

Now, largely thanks to tourism demand, this area of Lahore is a lot cleaner and safer than it used to be, and it offers some of the most spectacular sites to see, both from above and below!

What would you rate this view from 1 to 10??
  • Made it to Skardu without any flight issues! Flights to and from the mountain region of Pakistan have a pretty high rate of cancellation due to unpredictable weather...

And speaking of unpredictable weather, the reports said it would be really cold, but it was warm, so i "had to" go shopping for shalwar kameez as soon as I arrived 😍

Then it was off to the Shangri La Lake for some pink tea before making the drive to Shigar cold desert for a sunset horseback riding session, before settling into a beautiful riverfront boutique resort!

Everyone says you have to go to the northern mountains of Pakistan, and now I see why! This place is magical and I only have a few days to explore!

PS did you know that this region has the highest number of world's tallest mountain peaks, it has has both deserts and lakes at extremely high altitudes, and also the largest glaciers in the world aside from the polar regions??

More coming soon! Do you want to visit Skardu??

And speaking of unpredictable weather, the reports said it would be really cold, but it was warm, so i "had to" go shopping for shalwar kameez as soon as I arrived 😍 Then it was off to the Shangri La Lake for some pink tea before making the drive to Shigar cold desert for a sunset horseback riding session, before settling into a beautiful riverfront boutique resort! Everyone says you have to go to the northern mountains of Pakistan, and now I see why! This place is magical and I only have a few days to explore! PS did you know that this region has the highest number of world's tallest mountain peaks, it has has both deserts and lakes at extremely high altitudes, and also the largest glaciers in the world aside from the polar regions?? More coming soon! Do you want to visit Skardu??
