  • Alone in New York - Solo Travel to New York City 2022
    I travelled from the UK to New York City on my own!
    It's the first time in my life I've ever done something like this and I can't wait for my next adventure!
    If you're planning a trip to NYC, then I hope this give you an idea as to what it's like in The Big Apple.

    Planning to take my first solo trip to New York next year! It's a little nerve-wracking considering the fact that I'm a woman in my early 20s and I will be flying from Europe, but I think it will turn out super fun. Looking forward 😊

    The thing about New York...you are on your feet most of the time, six hours of sleep is more than enough to get by in a day. On New Year's Day I was so sick,
    by the time I hop on the train to 8th Ave and 14th st, I had forgotten that I was sick lol

    As a solo traveler, I love your solo travel vlog so much because there's no faking it. It's really what a solo travel vlog is. I love to travel alone and I can resonate so much with your vlog 😊 NYC is one of my bucketlist and watching your solo travel is inspiring❤

    Enjoyed your solo trip!
    I went solo in August 2017, for a week and had the best vacation of my life!
    I managed to see quite a bit...
    Empire State Building
    Museum of Modern Art
    Guggenheim Museum
    The Metropolitan Museum
    Central Park
    The Plaza Hotel/Palm Court Bar
    Rockefeller Center
    St. Patrick's Cathedral (Sunday mass)
    Macy's Herald Square
    Times Square
    9/11 Museum/Memorial/One World Trade Center
    Greenwich Village
    Chelsea
    and a huge NYPD security detail for former "President ORANGEAIDE", on his 1st visit back to NYC after being "elected"!
    Rode the subway and hailed a cab!
    I highly recommend people research ahead and just go! You will truly be on such a "high" for along time after!
    I want to go back, and hope to in 2023?!
    PS... the place you stayed, The Jane Hotel was originally built to house sailors, and later where survivors of the TITANIC stayed when they were brought back to NYC! Thought as a Brit, you might enjoy that trivia?
    Unfortunately, just read that the Hotel/Bar has been sold and scheduled to close. It is going to become a private Social Club for the "rich?" Too bad, it is a historical landmark. 🙁

      So excited for you! You’re going to have an amazing time!
      I didn’t go around in many areas at night that weren’t full of people, not that I didn’t feel safe, I just didn’t want to risk anything whilst being alone! My advice is to get up to see the sunrise every morning, so by the time it’s night time, you’ll be too exhausted to go out anyway!
      Hope you have the best time! Let me know how it goes!

      Thank you, Chef! I stayed in a hotel called The Jane Hotel. It was a shared bathroom but had my own private room. The bathroom was spotless though. Genuinely cleaner than most private bathroom hotels haha! It's just a great way to keep the costs low when you're visiting an expensive city.

      Yaaasss Queen. It was for 5 nights in total. I used £ British Pounds in the video and got my figures a bit wrong before I forgot to include things like 'city tax' and other taxes.
      In TOTAL, for 5 nights, it cost me £292. Which, in Euros is about €340. In Dollars, $356.
