Ava heads to New Mexico for a remote-style vacation in Santa Fe and shares her recommendations for the best places to stay, see, wine, and dine.

Episode Summary

Ava takes a vacation to Santa Fe, New Mexico and reports back with the scoop. If Santa Fe seems like a random spot for a vacation, that was absolutely the goal. Looking for a chill spot to self-isolate, sit by a pool, and vibe - this destination fits the bill. Often regarded as a city for outcasts, misfits, and creatives of all types (slay), there’s a unique culture in Santa Fe making it a place not quite like anywhere else.

An old motor court circa 1936 turned stylish roadside hotel complete with a pool, bar, and food truck was Ava’s home base for this trip, which turned out to be the perfect oasis once she got through a long and dark hour-long desert drive from Albuquerque to Santa Fe.

A lightbulb moment at the Georgia O'Keeffe museum has Ava thinking that Miss Georgia may have been the O.G. brand trip influencer, and a leisurely wine-tasting experience led to a visit to a jewelry store. From dining to shopping, wine tasting to museum dwelling, plenty of dilly-dallying occurred, and plenty of must-do’s were identified. Tune in for the best spots to stay, eat, drink, shop, and vibe if and when you find yourself in the Santa Fean desert.
