If you’re already sweating just thinking about summer travel, you’re not alone. But there’s a new trend that might be perfect for you.
It’s called a “coolcation.” It means skipping the heat and traveling somewhere with cooler temps in the summer. So places with mountains, lakes, and forests, for example.
According to Google Trends, searches for cooler travel destinations are way up. People are supposedly swapping out Florida for Alaska, and ditching desert heat for places like Canada and Iceland.
It makes sense with extreme heat events becoming more common. And it’s not just about comfort, cooler spots often have fewer crowds this time of year, too.
So you might need to jump on the “coolcation” trend if a breezy 70-degree getaway sounds more relaxing than roasting at an overcrowded beach resort.
