As we wave goodbye to July and welcome in August, a gentle murmur travels across the country, "Happy Fall, Y'all!" This popular sentiment calls forth images of toasty sweaters, steaming mugs of hot cocoa, and nights spent roasting s'mores around a crackling fire pit. Let's not forget the infectious wave of pumpkin-spiced everything that manifests during this season. But for those residing in the balmy southern states, like Florida, these fall fantasies often remain just that - fantasies. Seeking the elusive fall experience here is closer to spotting a unicorn! Indeed, the fall and winter seasons are as rare as they are fleeting in the South.
However, as avid travelers, we have the exceptional opportunity to truly immerse ourselves in the fall season or witness the awe-inspiring beauty of winter by exploring colder climates during the autumn months, often referred to as those that end in "ber". Heading northwards unveils a world of visuals unheard of in hotter regions, such as gently falling snow, bare trees stark against the pale sky, and the breath-taking sight of your own breath crystallizing in the crisp air.
Of course, there’s an entire league of explorers who seek constant warmth, troves of tropical beverages, and destinations where minimalist apparel is the norm.
No matter your preference, now's the time to embark on your next journey! Explore the wild depths of the ocean. Scale the awe-inspiring mountains. Traverse the breathtaking canyons. Glide along the tranquil rivers. Lose yourself in the serene deserts. The world is yours to discover—so let's make that dream a reality.
