Results for Big Sur, CA, USA
For the past couple of years, Sarah, my best friend from college, and I have planned a girls trip in the winter months to escape the seasonal depression of Denver and Chicago. It's one of my favorite weekends of the year filled with self-care, shopping, fresh air, and copious cups of tea.
We intentionally plan this weekend to have little to no plan so we can be more present. There's no better place to unwind than along the California Coast. Everything in this guide has been tried and vetted by yours truly!
As always, I'm happy to help you plan a custom itinerary for your trip to Big Sur! Just reach out to me directly (:

My family and I embarked on an unforgettable road trip last summer (2023). This journey was a dream come true for me, as I had meticulously planned the itinerary several years in advance. One of the absolute highlights was experiencing the majesty of Avenue of The Giants, fulfilling a long-standing desire to behold the towering trees along this stunning route.
Our road trip through northern California offered an abundance of awe-inspiring landscapes, from majestic mountains to picturesque beaches. We were able to cross off must-see destinations such as Yosemite, the Redwoods, Lake Tahoe, and Big Sur from our bucket list, and were pleasantly surprised by a few hidden gems along the way.
