How to Spice Up a You Pick Trip

Listen, we get it. We all deserve a vacation after the past 2 years inside, but maybe we don't have the time to take a week-long getaway across the country. That's where You Pick Trips come in.

All you have to do is sign up with us, and we do the work for you when it comes to booking and planning.

A You Pick Trip includes:

  • Reservation at surprise accommodations

  • A personalized itinerary

  • Dinner reservations

  • Parking at accommodations or a ride-share gift card

  • At least one activity, for example a ticket to a surprise attraction or gift card


Experience delicious local restaurants on your You Pick Trip

1. Try Things You’ve Always Wanted To - in a Destination of Your Choice

Do you often find yourself wishing you could “get out more” and experience your town for all that it has to offer? Have you always wanted to catch a live show? How about all of the amazing restaurants you’ve been meaning to go to, are you constantly wondering which one will become your new favorite in town?

Say no more, Pack Up + Go has you covered. By choosing your own destination with a You Pick Trip with us, you are guaranteed both a dinner reservation and a ticket to a surprise attraction or experience.

You will be able to see your town in a whole new light and finally cross the things you haven’t had the chance to experience off of your bucket list!

2. Push Yourself Out of Your Comfort Zone on Your Pre-Trip Survey

Are you the type that likes to experience the quieter side of life? Do you typically prefer coffee shops, reading, and spending your nights indoors? Try switching things up on your You Pick Trip by filling out your Pre-Trip Survey as your extroverted alter-egos!

The Pre-Trip Survey includes 30+ interests from art museums to nightclubs and everything in between! So, instead of selecting your typical go-to interests, choose something completely out of your comfort zone to instantly spice things up.

You’ll be surprised to find out what you end up liking. For extra fun, dress up in a way that you normally wouldn’t and make a whole experience of it!

3. Order a Room Service Feast

Going out for meals is fun, but so is dining in at your luxury overnight accommodations. If you’re in the mood for a grand, decadent breakfast, lunch, or dinner, look no further than the menu on your nightstand. Enjoy a full-fledged feast (complete with drinks!) delivered right to your room for a deliciously indulgent upgrade to any romantic getaway.


Why not see what other cities have to offer?

4. Take a You Pick Trip in a Nearby City

Try enjoying what another city has to offer by booking your You Pick Trip in a location outside of your hometown!

Do you live in Portland, OR, but have always been curious about staying in nearby Seattle, WA? We suggest planning your next weekend getaway in a nearby city for a fun twist.

Explore what a completely different place has to offer as if you were a local yourself!
