    since you are in Denver you should try to go to Casa Bonita. The food is not the best, but you go for the atmosphere and the sopapillas. if you are a south park fan, yes Casa Bonita actually exists.

    • @mari.johnson
      @mari.johnson  Před 8 lety +1

      Aw I wish I could've gone there! Have wanted to check it out for years because of South Park! haha

      Way over rated better yet if you come back to Denver Wrigley s Field is awesome not yuppified but good sports restaurant with great food at reasonable Prices. You can take the W lightrail line from Downtown Denver and then cross 6th Avenue to the bike path and walk 10 mins to Colfax and then west to where Colfax turns into hwy 40..And on the south side before it curves you are at the bar!!! If you drive just go past Colorado Mills on Colfax and keep going...after you can go around the curve up 40 and eventually get to Red Rocks or take a bus from Origin Red Rocks Hotel 18485 W Colfax so not far from Wrigley s

    I will be going to Red Rocks by myself for the first time this summer, as this venue has been on my bucket list for years now. The whole “going alone” thing resonated with me as well. Hoping I have an amazing feeling about it like you did!

    This is a great video. I am taking my wife and daughter to red rocks for the first time. For over 30 years I wanted to see a concert there. I like the idea of staying in Denver and taking a bus. What Hostile and Bus service did you use. You were there on my birthday when you signed the wall. Cheers! Going to see Widespread Panic. I subscribed. Peace.

    While you're in Denver, you should hit up Voodoo Donuts, Argonaut Liquors, and the Nob Hill Inn on Colfax - Colfax has tons of really cool dive bars. Cherry Creek a couple miles to the south has great shopping. But be careful walking downtown alone late at night. It's not a very safe place to be after 9 o'clock at night.

      Gabrielle Larson I've been wanting to rent an AirBnB in Las Vegas for a week around CES in January What information do they need? What is the standard protocol? Do they conduct background checks on people?

    • @mari.johnson

      Ah cool thanks! Have so much fun in Europe!!!

    • @sleeperftw1
      @sleeperftw1 Před 8 lety

      JMMT7022801 well it's pretty easy to sign up,I think they just require your ID info and ask you to verify your email and Facebook. But it's all based on reviews and what your profile says about yourself. You should try it, I think you would really like it.

    • @JMMT7022801
      @JMMT7022801 Před 8 lety +1

      Gabrielle Larson I'm in Salt Lake City. I have an aunt in Bountiful that lives a couple miles to the north of me. She's an AirBnB host and has 3 different rooms to rent out for like $63 a night.

    Hi Mari! This is one of my favorite videos. You sure inspire me to travel, and that solo travel is a cool thing to do. I been wanting to visit Denver for sometime now, definitely going to check that hostel. Best wishes in New Zealand. :-)

  • @liziellangston5586
    @liziellangston5586 Před 8 lety

    I love your videos! Denver and the surrounding areas are one of my favorite places to travel to. Golden has some nice hiking trails with amazing views and you can see where the Buffalo roam. if you're into tea, check out the Celestial Seasonings HQ in Boulder. They offer free tastings and a really cool free tour of the facility. The store there has lots of tea and nicknacks for cheap!! enjoy your travels!

    • @mari.johnson
      @mari.johnson  Před 8 lety

      Ah I wish I knew about the tea place before! Sounds cool!

    Embracing the solo travel! awesome. I want to go on another trip by myself, one of the first times I traveled by myself, was crazy to say the least. I was reported missing by my hotel lol long story. Even so, I can't wait to go on another trip solo and learn from those past experiences.

    • @mari.johnson

    Hi Mari, I am going on my first solo trip to Colorado this Oct. I would love to stay at the hostel you were at. what is the name?

    • @mari.johnson
      @mari.johnson  Před 6 lety

      Awesome, I'm excited for you! It was called Hostel Fish :)

  • @davidsmith956
    @davidsmith956 Před 8 lety

    The one activity I dislike when I am by myself is eating in a restaurant. I have traveled for work and many times they were solo trips so not a big deal doing solo activities but sitting in a restaurant I get very self conscious that I am alone. Are there any travel activities that you are very aware that you are traveling alone? 🤔. Love the videos. Happy travels. 😀

    • @mari.johnson
      @mari.johnson  Před 8 lety

      Mainly just when I vlog alone do I still feel awkward sometimes. I actually don't mind eating alone!

  • @juliawei8990
    @juliawei8990 Před rokem

    I was wearing the wrong shoes trying to climb a red rock in my dream; don’t know if that’s the red rock in Denver or somewhere else…Found your video.
    Are you still traveling alone ?
    Be careful, it might be dangerous.
    Peace on earth.

  • @ddrianaa
    @ddrianaa Před 8 lety

    Omg girl you're in denver! You're so close loved to see you but I probably won't haha! My mom is actually visiting me and we were supposed to go to Denver today. Have fun over here! :) maybe I'll still run into you lol

  • @itsewelina
    @itsewelina Před 7 lety

    Your trip looks awesome!! I was wondering if you went alone . Girl you give me the strengths to do so many solo trips anytime I am doubting myself .
    In San Diego we have Snooze as well , there is only Colorado and San Diego location,the food is good ;-)
    So I don't know if I live under the rock but for some reason I thought you can only stay in hostels overseas. Someone ing time ago has told me that You have to have to be foreigner to be able to stay in a hostel , maybe I got the wrong information. And what i mean by that is that lest say if I want to stay in a hostel in US I need to have EU passport or any other passport but USA . I have no idea...

    • @mari.johnson
      @mari.johnson  Před 7 lety

      Yeah I think that might have been a rule a while ago. Or you had to at least be from a different state. Doesn't seem to be the case now though! Hostels also used to be mainly for "youth," but that's also no longer the case. I'm so happy they're progressing! And yes, Snooze was very good!
