5 Travel Trends in 2020 That Will Have You Packing Your Suitcase

Jan 07, 2020

New year, new opportunities to explore the globe. If you've been wanting to take a vacation (or another one), we're here to tell you — there's no time like now. Whether it's a weekend trip here or a wellness retreat there, make this the year you actually take advantage of your PTO days. Yes, all of them. Ahead are five trends to provide a little inspiration to help you travel better, smarter, and slower. Grab your bags; there's a whole world of adventure waiting for you.

Hometown Vacations: According to Vrbo data, travelers who are renting vacation stays in major cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, and Atlanta are originally from... those same exact cities. Unlike staycations, which involve staying in your own home, local travelers are looking for a getaway without the hassle of actually getting away. Another emerging trend includes celecations — renting a large vacation home to accommodate groups coming into your hometown for special occasions (birthdays, weddings, family reunions, etc.). The best part — you can host family and friends without having to worry about cleaning up after them.

Vrbo

Unconventional Accommodations: Why stay in a regular house when you can stay in a treehouse, or rent a simple cabin when you can rent out a castle? Per Vrbo, demand for houseboats, yachts, RVs, and Airstreams is up 30 percent year-over-year as travelers seek out unique accommodations. After all, if you're going to go on vacation, you might as well do it in style (and for the 'gram).

RVs, specifically, have seen explosive growth in the past few years. RVShare, a peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace, reports a 650 percent growth in RV interest since 2013, with 75 percent of millennials saying they would like to rent one in the future. The most popular destination for RV? The last frontier, Alaska. Both RVShare and Outdoorsy, another peer-to-peer RV rental platform, show the number one growing destination for RVing is Anchorage, Alaska. For outdoor enthusiasts, Alaska is an obvious choice — the country's largest state has miles of uninhabited landscape, glaciers, impressive wildlife, and Denali, the highest peak in North America.

Airbnb

Japan: Tokyo will host the 2020 Summer Games, so it's no wonder the country is gearing up for an influx of travelers. Tokyo is number 4 on Google's 2020 trending destinations (based on global hotel search activity) and number 17 on Airbnb's 2020 destinations to visit (showing a 103 percent increase in year-over-year bookings). And Japan Airlines is expanding routes from US to Tokyo (including new services from Chicago, Dallas, Honolulu, and Los Angeles), providing more opportunities to get to the country.

Outside of the capital, Japan has much to offer travelers of every type, whether you want to visit temples in Kyoto, pet the deer that roam freely in Nara, or take a Wild Bum guided climb up Kintoki Peak for spectacular views of Mt. Fuji. New luxury hotels, like Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono in the mountains and HOSHINOYA Okinawa, a beachfront resort, are also planning 2020 openings.

Still looking to book a trip to Japan? Google has launched some new features including a "when to visit" tab (on desktop), which will show you how weather, crowds, and hotel pricing varies across dates, so you can optimize for your ideal trip.

Slow Travel: Sometimes the journey is just as important as the destination, and 2020 will highlight the importance of slow travel. According to Booking.com, travelers are increasingly looking to take longer routes to take in the scenery, enjoy the experience, and reduce their environmental impact.

Trains are one of the most affordable and gorgeous ways to travel across countries or continents. For example, you can see both the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas on Amtrak's California Zephyr, which goes from Chicago to San Francisco; hit up Europe's most famous cities via Eurail all in one trip, or marvel at the Alaskan wilderness in one of Princess Rail's glass-domed trains. Train travel hails back to simpler times, and 64 percent of Booking.com travelers said they're even interested in throwing it back by taking a historical train journey (e.g. the Flying Scotsman or the Orient Express). What's old is new again.

Sustainable Alternatives: Overly touristy cities are annoying for multiple reasons, but they also provide strain on local communities. Booking.com predicts a rise in second-city travel in 2020, a desire for people to explore more off-the-beaten path locations and be more responsible travelers. Over half of global travelers want to reduce over tourism and said they would swap their original destination for a lesser-known but similar alternative if it meant reducing their environmental impact. Taking the road less traveled can lead to great things.

For those looking to be a trendsetter, Kayak.com lists a number of cities that have a lot of hotels but haven't spiked in travel searches yet. Among the list include Port Elizabeth, South Africa (two hours from Capetown or Johannesburg); the historical town of Tbilisi, Georgia; beachy Santa Maria, Cape Verde; and the resort town of Hua Hin, Thailand, just a three hour drive from Bangkok.

Intrepid Travel, a carbon-neutral company and certified B-Corp, offers trips that support local economies, preserve the environment, and protect vulnerable people and wildlife. One of their 2020 travel trends is to make undertourism a thing by launching adventures in regions and countries that are not necessarily on people's radars, but still provide unforgettable experiences.

Natural Habitat Adventures, a responsible adventure travel company, is using its 2020 trips as a way to bring awareness around climate change. This year their small group, nature-focused trips will go to places under threat from global warming (the Amazon, Greenland, Southern Africa) and be accompanied by WWF experts. Natural Habitat Adventures will offset a year's worth of carbon emissions for every traveler that books one of the designated trips. Win-win.

Food-Focused Itineraries: Food is a great connector of people, regardless of culture, language, or country. A good meal, regardless if it's at a Michelin-rated restaurant or from a small street food cart hidden down an unnamed alley, can be the highlight of any trip. Per Booking.com, 71 percent of global travelers want to eat locally sourced produce while on vacation. To taste local flavors is to get a truly authentic experience. Black Tomato, a luxury travel agency, has taken foodie travel a step further by partnering with Eater to create Eater Journeys, a way to experience various countries, one bite at a time (think: truffle hunting in France, Mezcal sipping in Mexico, or pasta tasting in Italy).

Looking For A Weekender Bag? Here Are 7 You Don't Leave Behind On Your Next Getaway

I've been super into binging Bravo's Summer House lately — a reality show where a bunch of 20-30-year-old New Yorkers all share a house in the Hamptons every weekend throughout the summer. While there's drinking and drama galore, it really got me thinking about their constant back-and-forth from the city and the kinds of bags they bring to do so. They all have these practical weekend bags, so I just had to dive deeper to find the best weekend bags in general. As someone who loves to take weekend getaways myself, having a bag that's spacious, practical, and comfortable is crucial. Here are some options that fit the bill.

Béis Travel

Béis Weekender Bag

I feel like this bag divided the internet at some point. There are so many opposing opinions — some people love it, and some people hate it. Here is what I have to say: if you are traveling via car, train, or bus, this bag is the best thing since sliced bread. However, if you are traveling via plane, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this bag. It doesn't fit comfortably under the seat in front of you while leaving room for your feet, and it's kind of a pain to carry around in the airport. That being said, it fits so many things, and I love the bottom zipped section for my shoes and toiletries!

Calpak

Calpak Luka Duffel

Calpak products are always the best quality. They're long-lasting and super durable, so if you're looking to invest in a travel bag that will last you years, this is a superb option for you! It's insanely spacious and acts as the perfect personal item if you're planning to travel for longer periods. It's perfectly comfortable on your shoulder, or you can slide it onto a suitcase. It also comes with a separate shoe compartment which is always great to have. This bag is definitely worth the hype!

Away

Away Weekender Bag

I'm a loyal Away travel customer — all of my luggage is from Away. The quality of their bags is unmatched, giving me travel luggage that's always super durable. This weekender bag is no exception, fitting everything you need for a quick getaway. It comes with a sleeve that slides over the handle, so it never falls off, and it keeps its shape to make sure you can fill it to the brim with all your goodies. It also perfectly complements their carry-on suitcases — a definite win in my book!

Amazon

ETRONIK Travel Duffel Bag

This weekender bag is a great Béis dupe that comes with so many goodies. What sets this bag apart from others of a similar style is that it comes with a USB charging port. That's so important if you're on the go, especially if you're on the train or a bus — or basically anywhere you don't have access to an outlet. It comes with a bunch of side pockets, a strap to slide onto any suitcase, and a big ol' strap to hurl over your shoulder when needed. At $36, this is basically a steal!

Amazon

Baboon to the Moon Go-Bag

Buckle up, guys, because I have nothing but incredible things to say. Before I studied abroad, I did a LOT of research on the perfect bag for traveling to different countries on the weekend. After months of debate, I landed on this Baboon to the Moon bag. It's a backpack, but it opens horizontally like a traditional suitcase. You can take it on the plane as a personal item, and you can fit literally a week's worth of stuff in there. I cannot recommend this bag enough. Now that my abroad days are long gone, I still take this bag with me on every short trip I go on because it saves my life every single time. Plus, they come in such fun colors!

Longchamp

Longchamp LE PLIAGE TRAVEL BAG

If you want to be chic and practical at the same time, you can opt for this Longchamp weekend bag. I'm a big fan of Longchamp products — they're incredible quality and overall just beautiful buys. This bag is insanely spacious and can fit everything you need. Also, it folds up into a tiny bag if you need to store it away. If you want to travel in style, add this to your collection.

Amazon

LOVEVOOK Travel Duffle Bag

This bag is basically another Béis dupe, but for a fraction of the price. It's spacious and has a separate compartment on the bottom for shoes and toiletries. I like that this one comes with a matching travel toiletry bag, too. You can get this on Amazon in over 20 different colors!

Not Close With Your Family? Here's How To Have a Joyous And Connected Holiday Season

Last year, some of us celebrated the holidays apart from our families for the first time. COVID has brought with it many changes, some of them arguably positive (like increased flexibility to work from home), some difficult (such as the realization of vastly different political and social views between family and friends), and some horrible (obviously, the health implications of a global pandemic). However, for some of us, celebrating the holidays without family members isn't exclusively due to COVID. In addition to so many of us living in different areas than our families of origin, some of us simply don't have close bonds with the people we grew up around. Sometimes, this can cause loneliness.

If you're not close with your family members, the holidays can be a difficult time. This is doubly true if you don't have a close circle of friends to call upon. But make no mistake, if this sounds like your situation, you're not alone — there are thousands of other people going through the same struggles you are. We sat down with Irad Eichler, founder of Circles, a website that connects people who are sharing similar struggles, like heartbreak, grief, or loneliness. Here are some of Eichler's tips for coping — and even thriving! — during the holiday season when you're not planning on spending it with your family, for one reason or another.

Don't Fall For "Perfect Families" On Social Media

Laura Chouette

The first VERY important step to having a joyous holiday season when you're going it alone is to stop believing the narrative that others' family situations are perfect, Eichler says.

"Remember people only post a moment in time, and only the moments when they look their happiest and best."

In addition to the fact that everything you see on social media is curated for the 'gram, it's also important to remember that by focusing on what others have and you lack, you risk failing to see the great things at play in your own life.

"These holiday periods can become a time of focusing on who and what we don't have, rather than who or what we do, and can cause a negative spiral into depressing and dreadful feelings of inadequacy," says Eichler.

Gratitude is the reason for the season, after all. So instead of only seeing the negative, try some gratitude journal prompts to help you focus on what's actually really wonderful about your life right now.

Make An Effort To Deepen New Connections

Joel Muniz

While it may seem like everyone has friends and family to spend time with during the holiday season, that doesn't mean no one is available for deepening a blossoming relationship or new friendship.

"Make a list of people you can or would like to connect with, and try to reach out to at least one of them," advises Eichler.

Reaching out doesn't have to mean a big plan or an hour-long conversation. Even a quick text letting a friendly coworker know you're thinking about them can go a long way toward deepening the relationship and moving it in the direction of closer friendship.

Don't have an acquaintance in mind? Then it's time to make new acquaintances. What's more in line with the Christmas spirit than attending a Meetup or event full of people eager to make new friends?

"Join groups with similar interests to yours, such as hiking, baking, or games. Push your boundaries and be brave - you might find new people who have much in common with you."

Give Back

Priscilla Du Preez

The holiday season is a great time to focus on giving back to your community, and coincidentally, acts of generosity and kindness are known to reduce loneliness and help people feel happier. One study found that knowing a few of your neighbors and doing small acts of kindness for them — such as cheering them up, listening to them, mowing their lawn, providing advice about local business recommendations and job opportunities, and chatting over the fence — was statistically correlated with feeling less lonely and having a lower risk of depression.

Helping out elderly neighbors can be a particularly gratifying way to give back.

"Notice older lonely people in your neighborhood or community who might have no family at all, and offer to help them," says Eichler. "These can become mutually meaningful connections, and help you 'adopt' a grandparent."

Connect With Others Online

Thought Catalog

Finally, use the Internet for its highest and best purpose: to connect people. Whether you're using Meetup to find in-person events, digital forums for having conversations about special interests, or programs like Circle for getting support from others in your situation, the opportunities to create new connections are practically endless.

"There are many interest groups that can be found digitally, where or any person can connect with others in the same life stage, going through the same challenges, or who would like to explore the same interests," Eichler states. "Meaningful connections can be formed easily in these circumstances. The Internet enables us to find and connect to people all over the world who fit this, and to whom we can become more easily attached, as we are able to find people with the exact interests that energize us."

If you're struggling with loneliness, you're not alone. Connect with our digital community of makers and creatives here at Brit+Co by following us on IG and signing up for our newsletter!

How To Have The Best Weekend In Napa Valley, According To A Local

Love good wine, luxe spas, and nature? Napa Valley, in the heart of California’s wine country, is the ultimate getaway for girl trips, couplemoons, and wellness escapes. It’s about a 1.5 hour drive from San Francisco or Oakland International, but it feels a world away from both of those cities and is much warmer in the summer. Think Tuscany meets Northern California: stunning landscapes, vineyards galore, sunrise balloon rides, and a dining and winery scene that will leave your bellies and hearts full.

What To Do In Napa Valley

Harvest season in the fall is spectacular – the vineyards actually change to rolling hills of red and gold – and it stays summer-warm through October/November. The weather is mild year-round, rarely dipping below 55-degree highs, with the best dry-heat summers and occasionally rainy winters.

Here is my three-day itinerary of my favorite places to take out-of-town guests. Cheers!

Where To Stay In Napa

Photo: The Archer Hotel

You can find Airbnbs in the area, but The Archer Hotel is right in the heart of downtown and a mid-range option for the area. You can literally walk to everything from here, including Michelin-rated restaurants and tasting rooms. There's also an amazing rooftop bar and spa with private cabanas that have their own fireplaces. Grab a cocktail near the fire pits on a cooler night.

Day 1: Downtown Napa To Carneros Region

Photo: Angèle Restaurant

Napa Valley extends from Napa to Calistoga so I’m going to start with Napa, Napa, where I spend most of my time (I live in nearby Sonoma, but my S.O. lives in Napa). So many good places! The Napa River offers kayaking, SUP, and gondola rides and there are lovely walks and restaurants along it. You can pop by the French-inspired Angèle Restaurant – I love the vibe here, rustic, lively and always friendly serving comfort food with a French twist.

From Angèle and the Napa River walk, you can pop into the General Store for local goods, and then head over to First Street for indie boutiques, bookstores, and ofc wine! Brown Estate is a Black-owned winery based in St. Helena but they have a tasting room downtown that offers lovely certified-sustainable wines. They're super friendly! Housely is another downtown tasting room owned by actress Tamera Mowry and family. They offer award-winning wines in a casual living-room vibe setting. No need for a reservation!

Photo: Artesa Vineyards & Winery

Boon Fly Cafe, part of the luxe Carneros Resort and Spa, has one of the best brunches in town. It’s not downtown, but worth the 10-minute drive outside of it. For a picture-worthy spot, book a bubbles tasting at nearby Domaine Carneros, a breathtakingly beautiful Château in the Carneros region of Napa Valley. Art lovers might enjoy the art and nature walk at the indoor-outdoor Di Rosa Contemporary Art Museum across the street. Book a second tasting at Artesa Vineyards & Winery, featured in the movie Wine Country with Amy Poehler, for Napa wines with Spanish twist, also in the picturesque Carneros region.

Photo: Scala Osteria

Head back downtown for a delicious cocktail at Bitter Bar and seafood-rich Southern Italian fare at the charming Scala Osteria. If you prefer something a little more casual, head to Napa Yard, a beer garden-style restaurant with music, games, beer and cocktails, plus salads, burgers and cozy sides. Nearby are also the Oxbow Market, definitely worth a walk through and soft serve at Gott's, and CIA at Copia, the culinary institute that offers creative and inspiring food events to check out.

Day 2: Hwy 29: Yountville To St. Helena

Photo: Bouchon Bakery

Now we'll head to Highway 29 for a day of delightful food, wine, and adventure. First stop: Yountville, a posh tiny town perfect for strolling and biking. Get there on the early side for a fresh pastry at Chef Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery, just down the road from his famed restaurant The French Laundry, which was honored with three Michelin stars (a major splurge if you have the budget). Pastry-fueled, you can, if you'd like, rent an electric bike at Napa Valley Bikes to tour the wineries along the Hwy 29 bike path.

Photo: Dan Evans

Next, take a snapshot in front of the iconic Welcome to Napa Valley sign near Oakville. Nearby, visit Oakville Grocery — a grocery store that first opened its doors in the 1870s, but is so much more. You can grab a gourmet picnic and eat out on the lawn, visit the adjacent Victorian, 1881 Napa, a history museum that combines a gallery of winemaking relics with DIY wine tasting of over 200 local wines. If you're hungry, order a delicious wood-fired pizza outside, and don't leave the grocery without a fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie. My favorite!

Photo: Peju

Wineries dot Highway 29 like bakeries do in Paris, or pizza places in NYC. There are A LOT. Reservations are recommended during the high season. Some of my favorite ones to visit are Peju for its tasty wines, beautiful gardens and vineyard views from their terrace; Cakebread Cellars for delicious wine and food pairings and stunning grounds, and Quintessa, a gorgeous biodynamic estate, all in Rutherford on your way to St. Helena.

Photo: Farmstead At Long Meadow Ranch

Hungry? Perfect timing. Wine-filled and happy, head over to Farmstead At Long Meadow Ranch in St. Helena for its American farmhouse restaurant, outdoor café, and general store for a unique and tasty Napa Valley experience. I love sitting out in the apple orchard. Dishes are made with ingredients from their farm, ranch, and vineyards.

Photo: Olivier

After, head to Main Street and stroll St. Helena's charming shops, like Olivier for olive oil-based souvenirs and gifts. If you're up for a movie, check out the Cameo Cinema, one of the few single-screen movie theaters in the country.

Day 3: Silverado Trail To Calistoga

Photo: Stag's Leap Winery

Your final day is spa day! (Feel free to make this your first or second day;). Silverado Trail is a beautiful 30-minute drive to Calistoga, known for its natural hot springs and wellness escapes. The wineries here are set in a more chill atmosphere (AKA fewer tourists) than Hwy 29. Clos du Val offers a lovely farmer’s market event with live music, bites, and local goods; Baldacci offers a wine and chocolate tasting; and Stag Leap Wine Cellars is credited with putting Napa Valley on the global wine map – though not to be confused with Stag's Leap Winery, another gem in the area.

Photo: Indian Springs Calistoga

But we are on our way to health and rejuvenation! Drive along the palm tree-lined drive to Indian Springs Calistoga. You can plan an overnight and access their Olympic-Sized mineral pool, or go for a spa treatment and hang at their very Zen Buddha pond. Sam’s Social Club Restaurant is a worthy eatery on the property. For a more budget-friendly escape, try Dr. Wilkinson's Backyard Resort & Mineral Springs for a mud bath and mineral pools. You can also visit the Petrified Forest here, unearthed petrified redwood trees that date back to the Pliocene Epoch, 3.4 million years ago!

Photo: Calistoga Inn, Restaurant & Brewery

Grab dinner along the Napa River at the Calistoga Inn, Restaurant & Brewery, which offers live music in a beer garden setting with outdoor fire pits. Order the Country Paella, Calistoga’s spin on the classic Spanish seafood dish.

Zach Bryan & Brianna Chickenfry's Break Up Is COMPLICATED — Here's What To Know

Zach Bryan and Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia's explosive breakup is everywhere right now. From his seemingly one-sided social media posts to all the bombshell revelations she keeps dropping, it's clear this split is NOT amicable. Both parties are dropping tons of lore, info, and everything in between — including new music?! — right now, so it makes sense if you can't keep up. Luckily, I'm here to help break this breakup down for you! Here's everything you need to know about Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry's relationship...or lack thereof.

October 22, 2024 – Zach Bryan Announces His Breakup With Brianna Chickenfry

On October 22, 2024, after some recent speculation that Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry split up, Zach took to his Instagram stories. The country star said, "Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with [each other] and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I'll always thank her."

He continued, noting, "I have had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways. I am not perfect and never will be. Please respect Brianna's privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine too."

To wrap it all up, he closed by apologizing to his fans. He said, "With everything I am and to anyone I let down, I am sorry. I try my best in everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself."

Brianna hopped on her own Instagram stories shortly there after. She posted, "Hey guys I'm feeling really blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately, when I'm ready I'll be back and ready to talk. I love you guys so much thank you for all of your kind words. Remember you are so loved and everything's always gonna be okay 🫶"

The Brianna got on Youtube next, posting a raw, emotional video about the situation. Sitting on the floor of her bathroom, she opened up as much as she could in the moment about her breakup. She said, "I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up and I had no idea that post was going up. He didn't text me, he didn't call me. I just woke up to a bunch of texts, like, 'Are you okay?'"

Brianna, with her teary eyes and red face, explained she's been crying for "five days straight." She said, "I'm at the point where it's like, how can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally, like through stuff that you shouldn't because you just love them and you want them... like you see the good in them?"

The internet personality said that this is all "so embarrassing" and "really, really heartbreaking." She elaborated that the couple broke up on October 21, but wanted to process on her own and "didn't want it to be public."

Much like her Instagram story, she told her audience that she'll come back when she's ready.

November 7, 2024 — Brianna Claims Zach's Emotionally Abusive, Wanted $12Mil NDA

Well, it appears this week, Brianna decided she's ready. On Barstool Sports' BFF's Pod November 7, 2024, Brianna gave an inside look at the breakup unlike any other. Not only did she claim Zach was abusive, but she also alleged that he offered her a $12 million NDA to "not talk about the relationship."

After saying it's been the hardest year of her life, she said. "I'm still scared right now because I'm scared of him. My brain's rewired and I'm scared to make him mad and last week, I didn't want to talk about it 'cause I was scared."

Brianna then described the alleged emotional abuse. She noted that everything was cyclical and that he would build her up only to break her back down again. "There was always another excuse as to why he was treating me so poorly and why I'm crying myself to sleep every night, why he's screaming at me," she said. "And then you wake up, it's the apology, it's the 'I'm going to be better like I need you in my life,' but if you've been through this — I don't expect people to understand emotional abuse if you haven't been through it. I hope you never have to go through it but if you've been there you know what I'm talking about."

Not only does Brianna allege she was offered an NDA, but she said that other women that came before her had to sign their own agreements. She declined the offer because she didn't want to "sign away [her] experiences and what [she] went through to protect someone that hurt [her]." She also wanted to share this experience for other women who've suffered something similar.

And when it comes to the logistics of losing out on the famous lifestyle and alleged $12 million? She said, "It was never about the money — I was with the dude because I loved the dude."

November 8, 2024 — Zach Quit Touring Amid Abuse Allegations

On November 8, 2024, Zach posted on Instagram — where he clearly loves to share all his big news — that not only is his new single "High Road" out today, but that he's also ending his tour early. Read his full statement here:

After not being home for a year and a half I drove out to my mothers gravestone in the dead of night a few days back on familiar Oklahoma roads and I came to realize just like in the past, that she never would call me again

Told her I quit touring because I got accepted to get my masters in Paris next year, I told her I was back in Oklahoma, told her about all my best friends in New York and all the nights we howled with the moon, told her about the immeasurable laughter my band and me have shared these last five years, all the calluses on my finger tips, every tear shed, told her about making it on The Rolling Stone and most importantly told her about porch swinging with my beautiful sister.
I wrote the chorus for this song a month or two back and finished it when I realized I was blessed with all these things.

I figured it was about time I released it.

Thank you guys for listening to ‘This Worlds a Giant’ last night and thank you to all the people who love me; who have truly carried the weight with me.

Seems that all these Quiet Dreams have gotten much too heavy but I’m home now and I’ll hold you through the pain.

High Road is out today and I appreciate all of you"
