    Nothing makes me feel like a classy, elegant woman like dressing up, drinking champagne, and having dinner on my own before going to a show by myself. I love it. I always take a book or my journal and I just let my brain turn off. It's amazing.

      @@ARedVelvetBunnie I'd love to avoid traveling alone but I'm still happy that I'm traveling and visiting places that I always wanted to visit. It is sometimes slightly better alone though, because of the freedom. Like when I was in Switzerland, and the weather was not good for Jungfrau, I quickly decided to just hop on the train and go to Bern for the day without having to worry about anything.

    You’ll feel better soon. With emotions there’s no way but through. Feel them & naturally time will heal you. You’ll realize that wasn’t a loss by any means. It’s a gain of your freedom & being once again in a genuine environment rather than a turbulent negative ambiance. Stay strong and keep making blogs. I think now is a great time to go away as well even if it’s somewhere within your own state.

    Wow I needed to see this! As a journalist I am always travelling alone. I find the scariest part is when you first get to the airport. I think as soon as you arrive at your destination it can be such a liberating experience. I can't recommend travelling alone enough. You really do learn to be a peace with yourself xx

    I just went on a grouptour alone, but before that I went to Dubai on my own because I just really wanted to, so I did it! and I really don't mind being alone, so that's a good thing. loved to see you experience btw

    i didn't know about you or watch your videos or anything but i saw this recommended and i'm so glad i watched this. i don't understand why traveling is something you have to do with someone else because being alone can actually be precious reflection and self time even though a lot of people make it sound sad. wishing you luck for whatever you're going through right now 🌟🌟

      Yes but it would be great to get out of your comfort zone, and you do not have to be social if you dont want!

    I like solo trips. I've gone to conferences by myself too. It's very freeing when you live without the burden of other's expectations

    You are so smart to know that you are not okay. But remember if you hang in there one day you will be okay again. I am so sorry you are hurting. You have so much life to live and I look forward to seeing you heal and get to a better place. You are supported and loved. And you can heal. Proud of you for moving forward, but don’t forget to allow yourself time to grieve. Don’t just ignore those feelings. You will make it. Love from CO

    I’m 25 and have been done a solo trip! Been lookin to plan one soon and I love the honesty in this video ! I think once we get over the initial awkwardness of it all , it’ll get better ! And I’m terrible with directions so that’s my biggest fear which is getting lost.
