As a travel agency, we’re always on board to celebrate exploration.

American Adventures Month takes place every August with the purpose of encouraging us to discover all the US has to offer and step outside of our comfort zones. There are several ways to take part, so let’s review a few of our favorites.

Explore Locally

How much of your local city do you have yet to discover? There’s always something around that you haven’t explored yet. A stunning park, a hiking trail, a hip cultural area, the possibilities are endless. Do some research on Google Maps or your area’s website to find all the nooks and crannies you need to discover in your community. This is a great way to be a tourist in your own city, appreciate the wonder of your home, and contribute to the economy and community of your town.

National Parks

American Adventures Month is primarily focused on getting travelers outdoors and embracing nature. The US boasts over 400 National Parks across the nation, ready to be explored. No matter your preferred activities or intensity level, there is a National Park out there that’s perfect for you. Pack Up + Go offers a Destination Guide Bundle of six different National Parks so that you can make the most out of your trip with a handy guide to the area.

Surprise Trip

We might be biased, but we believe that American Adventures Month can be best celebrated with a surprise trip! The month is all about embracing spontaneity, appreciating the wonders of traveling, and discovering yourself through exploring outside your comfort zone. Pack Up + Go offers a variety of trips depending on the type of destination you’re seeking, the method of transportation, and even You Pick Trips for travelers who know where they’d like to visit instead of being surprised. Each of our trips are tailored to your specific interests - it’s not random travel, it’s surprise travel! Instead of throwing a dart at a map to choose your destination, we carefully review your pre-trip survey in order to craft the perfect getaway for you.

Ready to explore yet? Be sure to book a surprise trip with Pack Up + Go for this month, next month, or any time in the future! We hope you have fun, safe, and fulfilling American Adventures Month. Go forth, and give in to wanderlust!
