According to UK’s online magazine rockmywedding.co, “The once-standard template of [honeymoons requiring] long-haul flights, packed itineraries, and “once-in-a-lifetime” pressure is being replaced by something far more authentic.” Rising costs, digital overload and sustainability issues are driving this new focus, and resources like Pinterest, Conde Nast Traveller, and Skyscanner have all verified this trend.
If you’re craving deep, restorative quiet and have no interest in chasing a one-size-fits-all idea of what a honeymoon should look like, you’re already following this sensible trend. Forbes says that authenticity is “a long-winded way of saying that we are who we truly are without imitating or mimicking someone else.” If your plans include a fall honeymoon, why not relax and adopt this mindset?
