Girls Trip to the South: Airbnb Edition

Looking for a safe way to explore the south with your girl gang? Airbnbs are not only affordable but each one also offers a unique experience to create memories in- plus these make for some seriously amazing photo ops and who’s Instagram couldn’t use a little more pizazz after a year in quarantine? With the lack of formal breaks this semester, we’re all feeling the toll it’s taking on our mental health. Sometimes a little weekend getaway with your crew to anywhere far away from here is all you need to get your serotonin flowing and your stress to disappear. Long gone are the days of spending too much on a teeny tiny hotel room and scrounging Yelp for restaurant reviews. Airbnbs offer the essentials to much more for usually an inexpensive price. If luxury is what you’re looking for, you’re bound to find many spaces that fit the bill, and conversely, if humble and quaint is more appealing, the options are endless. Don’t worry, if quirky design elements and captivating decor and art are what you’re lusting after, Airbnb will not disappoint. From the authenticity Airbnbs provide to the convenience, we could go on and on as to why this is the prime option.

It’s impossible to be unhappy in a home this colorful! The vibes are cozy and chic, from the beautiful bathrooms to the balcony overlooking the street, you can’t go wrong with this award-winning spot. The exposed brick paired with the reclaimed wooden beams introduces a classic farmhouse element that is flawlessly balanced with the modern finishes throughout.

This kitchen might as well be Dakota Johnson’s with the divine forest green color that pairs oh so nicely with the clean white and blush accents. Photos found on Airbnb listing here.
