Just last weekend, some of my best friends and I decided that we would go to Nashville after our football game got moved there, because of the hurricane. Despite what you may believe, this was an excuse to just go to Nashville, Nashvegas if you will. Even though it was a lot of driving for a short weekend, it was definitely worth it and a little getaway I would not trade for the world. If you want memories that will really last a lifetime, go on a spontaneous trip with your besties right now. Don't second guess yourself. Don't overthink it too much. Just book the Airbnb and go.
The beauty of spontaneous weekend trips is that you don't have to have all of the details figured out. You just have to have a place to sleep and you can figure everything else out later when you get there. The only thing we knew for sure was that we were going to our football game, other than that, we got recommendations from friends who had been to Nashville before and we picked where we wanted to eat when we got there and wanted to eat. We decided between going to Broadway or Downtown that night in our Airbnb. We went to Broadway if you were curious. Spontaneous weekend trips are what you make of it, you don't have to spend a lot of money, or you can if you want. You don't (and shouldn't) stress over the small details.
A spontaneous trip is sometimes all you need to take your mind off of things because personally, that was what I needed. I have had a lot on my mind lately and a trip away for the weekend, as short as it was, it was exactly what I needed to get my mind off of things and start fresh. I think a quick getaway is something we all need once in a while to clear our heads and maybe even get a new perspective.
Yes, a spontaneous weekend trip is going to be a lot of driving and you're going to need some money to eat, but it is so worth it for the priceless memories you will make with your friends. As someone who loves to plan and have every detail figured out before she does anything, I think it is so important to get out of that mindset every now and then and do something that you did not really plan for. Our whole trip started with seeing that UVA's football game was moved to Nashville and asking the question "do we want to go to Nashville?" From that, we just figured it out as we went, and so can you!
What are you waiting for? Pick a destination that is within driving distance, pack up your bag(s), and get in the car and go. Don't stress the details. You will figure it all out as needed. Be spontaneous, it is so worth it and so needed. So get out there and start exploring, what the world and your friends have to offer you in this life.
