3 Weekend Getaways Every Woman Needs This Year
Pack Light, Go Far: 3-Day Trips to Reset, Explore, and Make Memories
With over 6 years in the travel industry and a passport that’s seen a little bit of everywhere, I know one thing for sure: you don’t need a month off or a passport stamp to feel like you’ve truly escaped.
Sometimes, all it takes is a 3-day weekend getaway—the perfect balance of adventure, self-care, and connection. Whether it’s laughing with your girls over brunch or solo-resetting your soul somewhere new, these bite-sized escapes can leave you feeling richer than a two-week vacation.
Today, I’m sharing 3 weekend trips every woman should take this year, packed with tips, highlights, and travel hacks to make planning effortless.
