Curator’s statement
Embarking on a fall week in New England holds a special place in my heart, marking a memorable girls trip for my 30th birthday. New England's allure lies in its accessibility, catering effortlessly to both luxury seekers and adventure enthusiasts alike. Whether you're planning a girls' getaway or a romantic escape, this destination offers something for everyone. As a seasoned traveler, I've learned that timing is everything during the fall season, especially for leaf peepers. Rent a car to navigate between charming coastal cities, indulging in mouthwatering lobster rolls along the way. Join me as we uncover the magic of New England together!
