A girl’s night out conjures images of cute outfits, cathartic yapping, and a magic sense of *adventure.* What also comes to mind is booking a too-late or too-early reservation at some hyped restaurant three months in advance. But 2025 is all about getting out there and having new experiences. Something more al fresco — like a camping trip with the group chat — is in.
Southern California-based travel influencer, Suzanne Olaybal (@suzionthemove), has made a career out of showcasing stylish getaways to dramatic outdoor destinations. Spending time outside has shaped the way Olaybal sees herself and the world around her. “I’m an over-thinker, and it’s rare to feel peace when you’re constantly thinking about the future” she shares. “But being outdoors makes me (along with my problems) just feel smaller.” While retreating from quote-unquote “civilization” does wonders for personal reflection, it’s also a great place to bond with new and OG friends.
To mix things up from the typical dinner and drinks, Olaybal decided to take her photographer bestie Oneisha Lee on a girl’s night outdoors. The third member of the trio? The new 2025 Ford Bronco Sport®SUV. Inside and out, the vehicle is designed with purpose to handle the outdoors, without sacrificing style. Its signature grille, LED headlamps, and seats featuring the Bronco® logo lend the vehicle some sophisticated outdoorsy style with a dash of adventurous spirit. And as the only small SUV with coveted Bronco DNA, this ride is capable enough for the seasoned off-roaders and user-friendly enough for nature novices.
Curious about connecting with your own adventurous side? Start by grabbing your friends and gearing up for adventure, then scroll on for some tips from Olaybal and her BFF as they venture out into their own Southern California backyard chauffeured by the new 2025 Ford Bronco Sport® SUV.
The Adventure Partner (And The Wheels) Make The Journey
Half the fun of any drive is taking in the breathtaking scenery as you travel far into nature. “I love a scenic drive,” Olaybal shares. “I find conversations on long drives get so much deeper than the usual short catch up.” She also knows that the right vehicle has the ability to change — or even enhance — the way you experience the journey. For those long, open-road drives, the new 2025 Ford Bronco Sport® SUV allows you to navigate easily with its larger display screen. Closely monitor any changes in your immediate surroundings with the available 360-Degree Camera. Store your snacks and flashlight in the ample center console for easy access.
Get Out There — Way Out There
Venturing out into the woods with friends is hardly new territory for Olaybal, but she knows people tend to doubt themselves because they don’t quite feel prepared.
“People have this misconception that being outdoorsy means you have to be taking on super-ambitious hikes or have the most expensive gear. But being outdoors is generally wholesome and a great way to stay active,” she says. “It’s a win for both your physical and mental health.” Depending on your experience level, this might mean a moderate hike or a scramble to a waterfall. But there’s no shortage of fun activities to enjoy when you explore the outdoors, like kayaking, paddle boarding, or even going on a scavenger hunt…and the best part? It’s all closer than you think.
The more out there you are, the more you can do. But you can’t get there with just any set of wheels. With its G.O.A.T. Modes® (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain), the new 2025 Ford Bronco Sport® SUV can help navigate your off-road journey over a plethora of landscapes — like rocks, sand, and snow — allowing you to access even the most rugged and challenging trailhead. (Always consult the Owner’s Manual before off-road driving, know your terrain and trail difficulty, and use appropriate safety gear.)
Once you’ve reached the summit of your hike, snap plenty of photos, reflect, and make some memories with your buddy.
Building A Home Away From Home
For those used to pushing outside their comfort zones, overnight camping trips are a fun way to “bring friendships closer,” Olaybal shares. Even with its compact size, the new 2025 Ford Bronco Sport® SUV boasts plenty of available cargo space, with an available 29.1 cubic feet of cargo behind its rear seats, and an available cargo management system to fit and organize all of your gear: yurt, hot plate, snack-packed cooler and all. An under-seat storage compartment beneath the rear passenger seat allows you to utilize every inch of the SUV, and a flip-up rear glass helps easy set up and break down. (Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and weight distribution.)
Build your own gourmet kitchen right out of the tailgate, and reflect on how much more special this memory is than another restaurant night out in the city. When it’s time for bed, set up your tent out the back of the trunk, or recline the second row passenger seat, open the available power moonroof, and take in the stars.
