Short on time? Here’s my go-to winter travel essentials. ❄️
The best snow captions for Instagram
Growing up in Southern California, I quickly learned that cozy snow days are a luxury here because, well…it’s the desert. Winter in California is snow laughing matter (lol). Once I turned 20 years old, I followed the call to explore winter travel and intentionally planned dozens of trips to snowy destinations like Finland, Croatia, Austria, Denmark, Romania, Sweden, and more.
When I’m not traveling to best European Christmas Markets, sipping on a steamy mug of mulled wine or experiencing the rushing thrill from dog sledding, you’ll find me at home, relaxing in some of the warmest places in California.
These winter captions helped me bridge the gap between the sunny weather and cold December nights. From the rolling green hills in Cali to the snow-capped mountains in Switzerland, you’ll find quotes for every type of post.
