Christmas season, as well finals week, is among us and vacations are coming up soon, but planning vacations can certainly be a pain! I'm the kind of person who plans her vacations at the very last minute with my sister because everyone I know goes back to Nicaragua. However, drawing from my many new acquaintances and experiences this year, I've rounded up quite a few spots that make for a great mini - vacation destination. Many people would say that traveling during the holidays is extremely pricey, but there are still some few destinations that aren't so bad for your wallet. Here are just some of my favorite holiday destinations for a stress-free holiday season for both you and your wallet.
1. St. Petersburg / Clearwater- Florida
What else could you ask for! Just imagine yourself right now looking at this dreamy sunset and drinking some Chardonnay. St. Petersburg isn't that expensive to spend the holidays at all–– just look at this cozy room from Airbnb.
2. Nashville - Tennessee
Nashville is known for their awesome food and music. Last year's, Kings of Leon played a free concert for New Year's in Nashville. Yes, FREE. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to see some of you favorite artists perform for free and not return home broke. It might add a little cheer to your Christmas season.
3. Atlanta - Georgia
Maybe going to their 13th Annual Downtown Countdown might be a fun event to attend. This event includes 3 party areas, 3 DJ's, 1 band, and 4 comedians! That definitely sounds like fun.
4. Miami - Florida
Personally, I'm the kind of person who likes to do something low key for New Year's Eve. If the same is true for you, maybe going to Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida just might be for you! They play live music and have a countdown until midnight when fireworks ring in the New Year.
5. Key West - Florida
For those seeking relaxation, going down to Key West might be another perfect Christmas holiday destination for anyone. Florida has the best weather during December, which makes it a perfect place to relax and drink some margaritas on the beach.
6. HOME
Spending the holiday season with your family wouldn't be so bad, right? I love reconnecting with my parents and just have fun drinking wine. It's always good to go back home and enjoy the little things because life's short. As the year is coming to an end, remember that there's always time to change and new adventures are just around the corner.
Until the next one, lovely people! Happy holidays!
