Zodiac Travel Series: Age of Aquarius

“Progressive, original, independent, humanitarian, intellectual”

It’s Aquarius season, Finches! Happy birthday to all our water bearers out there. You know why we love you? Because you guys are always down for anything! From catching up in a coffee shop to climbing mountains, there is barely anything you won’t do if you’re in the mood to do it. People summarize your travel as off-the-beaten-path. Meaning that non-binding itineraries that have built in adventure and down time are the top priority when it comes to travel. You won’t be found doing the touristy gimmicks. You can be found doing what the locals are doing. Going down alleyways to explore, walking in the opposite direction and discovering new food spots in any city. Essentially, you are a free spirit that walks on the wild side. Just like your personal style. When it comes to destinations, it’s no wonder that you’re looking for places unique and different. Unexplored landscapes to roam and explore are ideal for our Aquarian Finches. Let’s take a look at what we recommend for you!

Grand Canyon, Arizona

Natural wonder? Check. Free to roam? Double check. Climbing rocks? Triple check. The Grand Canyon is one of the BEST destinations for our lovely Aquarians. It fulfills the need for your independent exploration and need to understand the beauty behind the geological gem. There are never ending things to do around the vast canyon to constantly pique all interests. Want to lace-up your hiking boots? Explore each rims viewpoints, go rafting or take a hiking tour in Antelope Canyon and Havasu Falls. Want to relax? Take a drive along the South Rim, rest on Lake Powell or grab some local Navajo tacos.

Anchorage, Alaska

Aquarians, you thrive off meeting new people and avoid tourist traps. Unique adventures that are truly one-of-a-kind are right up your alley. That’s why Anchorage is another great option for your next traveling adventure. Not only does Anchorage have stunning mountains AND volcanoes, but there are dog-sledding festivals, salmon and blue waters. Take a floatplane across the landscape if you’re feeling like kicking your feet up or celebrate Fur Rendezvous with the locals. Want to strap those hiking boots on again? Tour the fjords of Prince William Sound. It may be a port city, but it packs a ton of punch for fun culture and natural beauty. Don’t worry about freezing to faux furs either. The average temp is 65 degrees during the summer. How ideal does that sound, right? We don’t know about you, but Finches, we’re booking our tickets now.

Berlin, Germany

When we think of Berlin, we think of art, culture and stunning architecture. This city is steeped in history, politics and humanitarianism. So for our revolutionary Aquarians, this is THE destination for you. Take a walk in the many galleries and museums or along the Berlin Wall to view all the graffiti art. In this edgy post-war atmosphere, you’ll feel ready to take on the world! With this newfound energy, take a walk to the Weltzeituhr Clock where you can bask in the architecture that is topped with a solar system model. If that doesn’t satisfy the glamorous and gritty side of the city, check out the restaurant that Napoleon and Beethoven frequented- Zur Letzten Instanz. It may not be rooted in nature, but this city is electric with enough history to satiate your historical interests for an entire vacation!

Want to add art to your own walls like Berlin? We can help with that. Check out our products here.
