Plan your own tripQuestions about Rest & Recharge trips
What is a Rest & Recharge trip?
Slow mornings, long breaths, nowhere to be. Plans with room in them: short days, quiet places and time to do nothing. The feeling word for it is "Exhale". It describes how the trip is meant to feel, not a promise about how you will feel.
What does Archie aim for on a Rest & Recharge trip?
slow mornings, quiet evenings, two things a day, no packed days, open afternoons. Some of this, like the pace, one big thing a day and open afternoons, changes which places are picked. The rest is guidance for the planner, not a guarantee.
Which places have a Rest & Recharge itinerary?
Sedona, Santa Barbara, Bellagio, Honolulu, Big Sur, The Algarve, Provence, Mallorca, Okinawa, Cotswolds, Black Forest, Naxos, Nova Scotia, Bariloche, Hallstatt, Florianópolis, Puerto Varas, Karlovy Vary, Reykjanes, Bali, Colombo, Helen, Lake Tahoe, Santa Fe, Great Smoky Mountains, Savannah, Finger Lakes, Palm Springs, Sturgeon Bay, Brunswick and Siena. Each one has a day-by-day plan, a map with the route and the best months to go from real weather.
Can I plan my own Rest & Recharge trip somewhere else?
Yes. Tell Archie where you want to go and how you want it to feel. Archie leans the plan that way, and you can change any day.
How a trip idea works
Each trip idea is a short itinerary: a few places a day that sit close together, in the order that saves walking, with an estimate of the time between stops. Open one to see it on a map and to see the best months to go, worked out from average weather. Then plan your own dates in the Archie app.
