We made reservations at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite Natl. Park a year in advance, a place we had always wanted to travel to as a family. We designed a four-state road trip around this dream destination, beginning in Bozeman, Montana, and ending in Lake Tahoe, California.

Weekend in Portugal
Lisbon, Portugal, Sintra, Portugal, Nazaré, Portugal
Weekend in Portugal

I chose a weekend getaway in these three locations because Portugal is in close proximity to Spain, and my best friend and I wanted to do a little trip together. We chose to see Lisbon as it is a city destination where we know a few other students studying abroad, and I recommended Sintra as I went there a few years back and absolutely adored it. Nazaré is a bucket list place that I've always wanted to visit to see the world-famous surfing waves and picturesque cliffs. Portugal isn't too big so we could hop around from place to place.

Weekend in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

After living in a city abroad, I felt like I needed a dose of mountain. My friend from my summer job in Colorado was visiting me in Spain and going to Italy after, so we decided to hop over to France in between to do what we love to do best together-- hiking.

You're not just exploring, you're making memories that matter. Picture harvesting marigolds for dinners, learning local crafts, or helping animals at the local shelter.

That's the magic of a sustainable trip itinerary. Want to pick a route that makes you smile, knowing your presence won't leave a lasting mark?

Browse sustainable travel destinations that make every moment meaningful!

Slow Travel & Local Connection
