Embracing Digital Age: Girls' Road Trips Funded By Social Media

Where was this kind of fun when I was younger? On a recent road trip I was behind this vehicle and thought omg how fun! I took quite a few road trips with a bunch of girlfriends back in the day and some days I wish social media had been around at the time and sometimes I'm grateful it wasn't.

As you can see, this road-trippin' bunch kindly asked everyone to buy the birthday girl a shot, followed by a CashApp and Venmo account so you could send her money. (I purposely left that part out of the photo)

All my girls and I had to resort to in our 20's was hittin' up some clubs and hoping someone would buy us a round. Now you can display a little message on your ride and your entire weekend is a success! Can you imagine how much money this girl made?

Girls trips have come a long way that's for sure! One of my most memorable was about 6 of us headed to Hill Country in an old school Mustang, crammed, uncomfortable, squeezed in like sardines, sitting on laps, switching places in a few cities along the way. That in itself was a great experience for us!

Just for fun I would imagine that people were sending her a couple of bucks here and there and it all added up. There's a good chance the birthday girl and her road trip pals had a large portion of their girls trip paid for! At least I hope that was the case.
