How to Plan a Girlfriend Getaway

by John Muller, Sponsored Posts

One of the happiest moments of your life is planning an all-girls trip with your best friend. Not only is this a great bonding event, but also a rite of passage that so many ladies undertake each year. While solo trips are amazing for soul growth, finding your tribe of women who love and empower you also deserves some TLC!


If you’ve been trying to book your tickets and plan your girls' trip, but are unable to make it happen, we have a fair idea why! Too much brainstorming and too many ideas may lead to burnout where the vacation takes a backseat! If this feeling sounds familiar, you’re not alone! To help capable but mildly confused ladies, our blog will help you bring seven of the most important elements that can foolproof your plans! Let’s get into it without any further ado!


FIND COMMON HOLIDAYS ON THE CALENDAR:

One of the greatest challenges you may face while planning a girls' trip is finding holidays that coincide with all your calendars. However, if you don’t find these dates and make a vacation out of it, you’ll be waiting forever.


If you have any paid leaves left, club them with a long weekend and make a week-long vacation that everyone can enjoy. If you and your friends are freelancers or work from home, you can also turn this trip into a workstation for a longer duration. While you work during the days, you could spend time exploring these locations in the evenings and on weekends.

FIND A PLACE YOU ALL LOVE:

The second challenge faced while booking a holiday is finding a destination everyone would love to visit. How many times has it happened that you all have ended up visiting the same place because that’s the only one you mutually like?


Don’t make this mistake and bring out some room for adventure. Focus on the type of vacation you’d like to have, whether it be a beach, mountain, desert, or city vibe. Once you know the vibe you’re looking for, you can choose a destination that has it!


BOOK YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE:

Flight tickets, hotel bookings, rideshares, and all other such provisions are much better when they’re made in advance. However, if you wait until the last minute to book them, you’ll be paying a lot more, crunching the budget of your stay. Once the dates have been decided along with the destination, book your flights and accommodation first to ensure you get the best rates and schedules.

GET A LAWYER, JUST IN CASE:

There is a number of reasons why you could need a lawyer on call during your vacation. Some of these may surround you needing a rideshare accident lawyer if you happen to be involved in a mishap with the company driver. No matter how careful you are while hiring rideshares in different destinations, getting into an accident isn’t something anyone plans. However, being compensated appropriately when all of your friends’ safety is involved should be the top priority.


CREATE A FUN ITINERARY:

Your vacation can be the best only when there is a certain shape to your plans. We’re not asking you to have a strict itinerary that restricts breathing room and space to simply relax! Alternatively, having no plans at all may be the best way to waste your vacation days. To avoid both extremities, make a list of places worth visiting, clubs to visit, dishes to taste, and experiences to have. This will ensure you have all these adventures without the time crunch element during your girls' trip.


FOCUS ON THE EXPERIENCE:

In a world that is obsessed with making TikToks and Reels, find the grace to put your phones away and soak in every moment. We spend so much time obsessing over our outfits, appearances, and social media, that enjoying the trip in a soul-freeing manner is the last thing on our minds!


MAKE ROOM FOR COMPROMISE:

Every vacation comes with a set of issues and unforeseen challenges. When this happens, be it a tardy friend, or sudden illness, make some room for compromise and focus on having a good time together rather than getting into conflicts. You’ll have these memories to laugh about later in life!

FINAL WORDS:

Traveling does for the soul what books do for the mind. Now that you know what you have to do to ensure your trip works out seamlessly, you have zero room for excuses to not get started! Grab your besties on a group call to shortlist the most important factors and book your tickets right away! We’re sure you’re going to have an amazing time and we wish you safe travels!
