hi! i am 22 and my best friend and i are looking to do our first out of country trip (without our families)!

we’re looking for somewhere affordable, with a mix of beaches, hikes, architecture, and good food. we’re thinking about the fall of this year.

places that have piqued my interest so far include spain and laos, but have no idea where to begin on deciding and planning all of this.

i’m thinking we’ll do airbnb unless there is women only hostels, any recommendations and advice would be sooo appreciated! thank you!
