I'm a fall girl through and through; one of my favorite autumnal destinations is Asheville, North Carolina, where the leaves changing in the Blue Ridge Mountains make me, admittedly, a bit teary-eyed. My best trips have involved a suitcase full of thick turtlenecks and wool socks from Ireland as I venture to a new-to-me city to people-watch with a hot coffee in hand while it drizzles and gets increasingly gray.
Some travelers dream of Japan's cherry blossoms in spring; I'd rather see it in vibrant red and gold come fall. My friends bop around Greece and Italy all summer long as I book an autumn trip to chase the chill in Scotland or Canada. If you also prefer your travels snuggly, hot beverage in hand, the world growing quiet and colorful around you, here's where to head this fall.
