Views: 35

Thinking of planning a big trip with your girlfriends? These five ideas are a great place to start!  

Going on a trip with your best friends is always an unforgettable experience. When you’re planning a girls’ trip, though, it can be hard to know where to start. There are so many destinations to choose from. If it’s in your budget, you might even be thinking about somewhere out of the country. If you are trying to be more frugal you might be looking at attractions and destinations closer to you. It’s a lot to think about. These ideas are sure to leave you and your girlfriends with a memory that you’ll never forget!

 

 

1. Take a Road Trip to the Beach 

Whether you live hours away from the water or if it’s on the other side of your hometown, hitting the beach with your girlfriends is always a great idea. And of course, road trips are a blast. Find the nearest beach to you and plan out a trip there. If there is a beach close by, try finding a new one further away to explore. This will give you and your girls a chance to go somewhere new and be adventurous. 

With hours on the road together, the conversations are always memorable. The drive gives you and your friends time to catch up on life, share memories, and joke around. With the hustle and bustle of life, road trip time is precious. It gives you time to enjoy your friends without anything else on the schedule. Take the opportunity to ask your friends questions and get to know them better. This is what road trips are for – bonding with your friends and making memories. 

Once you get to the beach, you all can enjoy the water, bask in the sun, or walk the shore. Kicking back and relaxing is sometimes the way to go, but if you’re feeling adventurous, try signing your group up for surfing lessons and catch some waves together! This is a great way to bond with each other and make memories. 

 

2. Go on a Group Hike 

When did you last take a hike with friends? Maybe you never have – but now is as good a time as any to start. Climbing a mountain or walking a winding forest trail with your girls is a fantastic way to spend time together. 

You might live far from the mountains, but this gives you a chance to take a drive with your girlfriends. It often is more about the journey than the destination – and traveling to a hike is undoubtedly one of the best parts of the trip. So make the most of your time in the car with your friends!

 

Sharing the experience of reaching the summit of a mountain and taking in the gorgeous view is something you and your girlfriends will never forget–while girls’ trips are an ideal time to unplug, you’ll want to take out your camera or phone to capture a timeless moment! If you’re feeling adventurous, make camping part of your trip! This may be a first for your group as well, but that makes it even more exciting. 

Whatever way you decide to take a hike together, what matters most is sharing an adventure with your friends. This is always worth the time, effort, and even a little sweat. 

  

3. Travel to a New City

Think of a city you’ve always dreamed of visiting. This could be the destination for your next girls’ trip! Exploring an exciting and unfamiliar place with your girlfriends always makes for an adventure.

Take in all the sights, sounds, and experiences of a new place with your friends. Try new foods, visit museums, or just wander the streets together. There is always something new to do when visiting a city that you’ve never been to before.

 

Before you visit a new city, it’s always good to do your homework and research what the best activities are there. This way, you won’t be flying blind and risk missing out on something great. The internet is your best friend when planning a girls’ trip to the city. Looking up travel guides for your city of choice gives you all the info you need to make a great trip.

Of course, you’ll also need to find somewhere to stay for your trip. Staying in a hotel with your girlfriends is a great time, but it’s not the only option you have. If you want to try something different, look for an Airbnb in your destination city. This way, your group can enjoy the city while staying in a house together. Plus, Airbnb’s are often cheaper than hotels, leaving you and your girls with extra funds to enjoy the trip!

 

4. Go to a Theme Park Together

For a different kind of adventure, get your girls together for an amusement park trip. This makes for an unforgettable weekend of thrills, good food, and shared memories. You can go to a water park, a park with rollercoasters, or a theme park like Disneyland or Legoland – wherever you choose, you’re sure to have a great time. You can ask your friends what sounds best to them and make the decision as a group. 

Using the internet, you can easily find the closest theme park to where you live – there might be one closer than you think!

Of course, if you want more of a road trip, you can plan a trip to a park farther away. Don’t be afraid to make the trip as adventurous as you want. After all, that’s the goal with amusement parks ­– adventure!

 

5. Plan a Staycation 

You don’t have to have a destination for your time with your girls – you can make your girls’ trip a staycation! This is a great idea if you are on a tight budget, if you love hosting, or if you have limited vacation time. 

Even if you don’t go anywhere, you can still have an amazing time with your girlfriends. Friendship is worth celebrating, and that doesn’t require a destination. Consider putting together an unforgettable staycation for you and your girlfriends. 

Have your girlfriends over to stay at your house for a few days, if you have enough space. If you’re living in a small space, fear not ­– you can host an all-day get together! You and your girlfriends can make food, play games, watch movies, and do creative and fun projects together. When you’re planning a staycation, you can find ways to go above and beyond to show love to your friends. You can also use the time to pamper yourself and your friends – you can even turn your house into a spa!

 

When you’re planning a staycation, take into consideration what each of your friends love to do. Plan some of your friends’ favorite activities into the schedule, taking time to get to know your friends better through this process. Planning the trip by yourself means you have an opportunity to surprise your friends with how much thought and intention you put in. 

These ideas can give you a great start when planning a girls’ trip. Whether you’re headed for the beach, the mountains, the city, a theme park, or even staying home, you’re bound to have a great time. At Paint Your Life, we believe that making memories with your friends is always worth making time for!
