Trip to the Poconos

Pocono Mountains

Pocono Travel Tips

✨ Tip 1: Opt in for a comfy & cozy AirBnB!

How it helped me: I quite literally hate the cold, so it was nice to have a warm and cozy place to stay after outside activities

✨ Tip 2: Be sure to look into excursions and when they are available. For example, snow activities typically don’t begin until late December, even though there is already snow on the ground

✨ Tip 3: Dress warm! I love me a cozy set from Amazon

Winter ❄️☃️🧣🎿🛷🌨️
It’s that time of year — bundle up, stay warm, and still show up cute. ❄️🧣 We went tubing and of course I had to make a fashion statement because cozy can still be THAT girl energy. I’m cute in my little outfit, living for the vibes, and I already can’t wait to go tubing in the Poconos again. ✨
