    I live in the UK and I'm taking my first ever solo trip this summer to ...NYC! It was actually booked for 2020, but we all know how that panned out. I've been 3 times before, quite a few years ago, with other people but I'm really looking forward to being able to do exactly what I want/when I want. I'm then taking the train to Boston and spending a few days there. Chicago and San Francisco are on the list for the future. For any of your non-British viewers wondering, I can confirm that London is also a perfect city for a solo visit.

    I agree with you on NYC! The opportunity for choice is what makes NYC attractive! Art, food from so many cultures, etc. I wouldn't recommend it as a first destination for a solo woman traveler if they aren't used to big cities. It could be overwhelming. But hey if they are up for an adventure, go for it! And I love Portland, Maine!!! I went for a travel conference and was highly impressed!

      Oh, yay! I mean the weather is... volatile... but June/July/August are definitely the best months because of the weather. Everybody's happy, the city looks nicer (I'm specifically thinking about Copenhagen here) and way more stuff is happening. Since it's not a super popular place for tourists, it doesn't get super crowded even though it's summer. Otherwise, spring can also be nice like May, but it can still be a bit cold and windy! :) @@magiemay1

    I’m planing on going on a solo trip to Nashville, TN. I already made a pretty nice list of things to do, that I find safe and fun for a single woman. I initially wanted to go on this trip with my sister, but I don't think I will now. I love her, but we tend to argue a lot. The last two trips we went on she almost ruined it with her constant arguing. She never seems to help plan any of the activities, but will criticize my ideas.... Plus she wants to spend most of the trip shopping, which wastes a lot of time and it’s something we can do locally.
    Sorry I ended up venting... lol Good video btw

      @KRodCollective  Před 7 měsíci

      Hiiii!! I don’t remember parking being a big issue when I was there. You’re right, it’s not as walkable as say New York so I found it helpful to have a car. But the parking wasn’t a big issue for me. We did have to pay for parking at the hotel but there was plenty of parking at the restaurants and shops. We stayed downtown. Hope this helps!!

      Hi there! Yay! Congrats! I love that you want to do that for your 30th! Such a fun idea. I'm hoping others can also chime in with their suggestions. But mine would be, DC, Chicago, or Seattle. I would also consider cities that are a bit smaller and not so spread out. They maybe don't have the best public transportation but everything is so close that taking an Uber (if you feel comfortable) won't be too expensive. I loved Tucson and Phoenix for that. I also loved Boise for that reason too. Hope these helped! 💕
