(Newswire.net — July 19, 2022) — Other than just being a fun location, when choosing a destination for your romantic trip, you also want to make it unique. Sure, proposing next to a waterfall or in a hot air balloon sounds like a great gesture but it’s also as cliché as it gets. What you want is to pick someplace unique. What you need is a place that checks more than just one item off your list of requirements. With that in mind and without further ado, here are the top five reasons why Phoenix, Arizona is an ideal destination for your next romantic trip.
1. Amazing Photo Session Opportunities
When planning a romantic trip, you need to keep in mind all the photo opportunities that are going to be available. The mountains are beautiful and plentiful around Phoenix, there are so many hiking trails, and the landscape is, on its own, quite amazing. Even the urban landscape is quite unique, with some of the largest, most impressive murals that you’ll find anywhere on the continent. This can make creating mementos from this voyage a simple matter.
The range of photo opportunities includes more than just mesmerizing (National Geographic-level) desert images. The architecture in the city also has quite a bit to offer, not to mention that, due to its climate and unique geographical position, Phoenix has incredible sunsets. The city itself is surrounded by the desert but just a couple of hours north, you can discover some of the highest peaks that Arizona has to offer.
All of these opportunities will spring spontaneously, which adds a bit more flavor to your attempts at creating life-lasting memories.
2. Affordable Destination
Another thing you need to bear in mind is that the cost of the trip matters a great deal. You see, a romantic destination can mean a number of things. A lot of couples use a romantic destination in order to propose (which means that you’ve probably already overspent on a ring). Others pick a romantic destination for their honeymoon (which means that you’ve overspent in recent history already).
Keep in mind that keeping things inexpensive by no means implies that you’re being cheap. If anything, by reducing the base cost of the voyage, you’re ensuring that you have more money to spend on the voyage. This means that you can be less mindful of the travel budget and spend more liberally. Moreover, you can even afford to make expensive decisions in the spur of the moment, like visiting a jewelry store in Phoenix and buying a diamond ring, if things really go your way on this voyage.
Sure, Phoenix is far from being the cheapest state capital but it’s definitely far more affordable than the majority of popular tourist hubs.
3. The Climate
This is probably the last thing you expected to find on this list, seeing as how the majority of people have heard about Phoenix being one of the hottest cities in the US. However, this is just a part of the full story. First of all, while hot, we’re talking about dry heat, which means that the climate in Phoenix is far easier to bear than in some other (cooler) areas of the country.
Second, when planning a romantic trip, it’s sometimes good to have a contingency plan. Sure, you should never assume things will go wrong, but natural disasters are something that you should never lose sight of. As such, Phoenix is both earthquake and hurricane-free, which already takes quite a bit off your mind. This is one of those scenarios where being landlocked has its benefits.
In the end, while climate may not be a strong argument in favor of visiting Phoenix, it definitely shouldn’t be a deterrent either.
4. Conveniently Located
Let’s say that you don’t intend to spend your entire romantic trip in one place. Phoenix is conveniently placed near some other (more popular) romantic destinations. In just three-to-seven hours of driving, you can get to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico. Overall, you can make a list of places you wish to visit by the end of the journey and include Phoenix in this list.
Keep in mind, nonetheless, that you should never be too strict with your travel schedule, especially while on a romantic voyage. Always leave some room for spontaneous decisions, like choosing to add a new location, including a detour into your itinerary, or picking to spend a couple more days in one place. The place grows on you and you’ll be surprised how hard it will be to leave Phoenix.
This flexibility in terms of geographical destination is a much bigger factor than it will appear at first.
5. More Peaceful than Other Choices
The next thing you need to bear in mind is that Phoenix may be far more peaceful than some other choices that you’re faced with. What does this mean? Well, we’ve already mentioned that when you choose to go to Phoenix, you don’t have to worry about earthquakes. Phoenix is also one of the most stable regions in the world, which means that you don’t have to refresh the news feed looking for political upheaval there (as if you were going abroad).
Travel blogs are a common source of information for couples planning a romantic vacation and, when it comes to Phoenix, the majority of them are fair, descriptive, and reliable. This means that, when it comes to all the major aspects of your visit, it’s quite easy to set your expectations. Moreover, seeing as how it’s not a major tourist hub, you’ll find more peace and quiet in Phoenix.
A place like Phoenix is a great location for couples looking to find serenity on their romantic voyage.
Wrap Up
In the end, you need to talk it out with your partner. Sure, being spontaneous and planning a trip on your own (in order to surprise them) might not always be the best of ideas. Unless you’re 100% sure that you know what they like and what fits their schedule, it’s always best to include them in this decision-making process. Once you list all these advantages, it definitely won’t be too hard to convince them that Arizona is the right way to go.
