🎨Took a painting class
🧘‍♀️Did a sound bath and meditation
🍽️Ate amazing food at their Harvest Tavern
🥾Hiked on the trails in the area

Some highs and lows of my 2024 to close out the year 🤗

Happy New Year’s Eve! I can’t believe it’s almost 2025… but to close out the year, I wanted to reflect back on both good and bad parts of it during my travels and just in life in general because I am human and not all my travels are as picture perfect as they may seem sometimes ✨

Rating all my solo trips in 2024! 🥹✈️

From traveling the US, to Asia, to the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and more - this year was filled with so many unforgettable solo trips!

It’s so hard to choose an overall favorite but I will say I think the best solo travel destinations I went to this year are: Japan, Bali, and Boston. All super safe destinations that are easy to meet others 🥰

I’m already planning my next year travels and hoping to do even more solo trips in the coming year!! If you have any recommendations, let me know :)

Highlights from London at Christmas🎄 📸

I loved how decked out with Christmas lights and decorations London is during this time of year!

My favorite spot in the city for decorations has to be Covent Garden (2nd pic)! It’s so so beautiful and has a stunning tree! But, I of course had to see the touristy sites too like Big Ben and London eye :)

London’s one of my favorite cities in the world and love every time I go back ❤️

What it’s like to stay at 🎄✨

Staying here for my London trip was such a dream, and truly the perfect place. My favorite area is Covent Garden, and this boutique, luxury hotel happens to be right in the heart of it! 🥹

This hotel gives you an authentic London experience and makes for the perfect home base for your adventures here - although it was hard leaving the room and that breakfast in bed 😂🥰

My second time in the gorgeous city of Bath 🇬🇧

There’s something about this city that just feels so magical, but this time I went during Christmas and talk about magical… the city turns into a Christmas wonderland with the best Christmas market in the UK spanning almost the whole town!

From ancient Roman ruins to stunning views, this place keeps drawing me back in and I know I’ll be back, again. 💖

My thoughts on the village known as the prettiest one in the Cotswolds! 👀⤵️

Before visiting I did much research on the Cotswolds because I’ve always wanted to visit but it seems SO difficult without a car, and there wasn’t much information on it.

I had already planned my trip to Bath so it also had to be a place accessible from there. That’s when I came across Castle Combe, a village 20-30 mins away and also happens to be known as ‘the prettiest village’.

There were a few ways to get here from Bath: rent a car, take a train and bus, or Uber. If I was on my own, I probably would’ve done train & bus, but since I was with others for this trip we decided to Uber because it was only £20 per way! 😍

Now.. would I recommend visiting? ABSOLUTELY. It totally lives up to its name and hype, you truly feel like you’re strolling through a fairytale✨ I will say though, there isn’t a ton to do so it’s perfect as a half day trip to just see and maybe grab a bite to eat!

Is the Cotswolds on your bucket list? Or have you been - what did you think? Let me know in the comments ✍️❤️

A few things I would never have done if I had let my fears of the unknown get in the way… ❤️ (pt. 2)

You are not the only one who is afraid of taking that first leap, I was too. It’s scary. But I can guarantee that it is A LOT SCARIER to end up never doing these things that you’ve always dreamt of.

In this series, I wanted to included some of my most bucket list things I’ve done so far. Most of these things I teared up for (happy tears🥹) because I was so in awe of the place/activity and just the fact that I did it on my own..

I promise you, I’m not special.. you can do it too!!! 🥰

Just your reminder that nothing is ever as picture-perfect as it seems…

Even solo traveling, as great as it is and as I make it seem, does have downsides (especially when you do it as much as I do).

But even with all of this, I still would never ever stop or regret doing it! Just wanted to showcase both sides 🥰

Can you relate??

Just a reminder to not let your fears of the unknown stop you from living your best life ✨

I was afraid of traveling alone at first, I’m not a special case where I had no fears. I did. But what I realized is that it was a lot scarier of a thought to think about getting to the end of life and not experiencing some of these bucket list things.

When I put that into perspective, I pushed through my nervousness of traveling alone and ended up creating some of the most special moments of my life 🥹

Some inspiration for my ladies today ✨

I often get this comment or hear “you really shouldn’t be doing that.. it’s too dangerous”, and although I can recognize that it may be coming from a place of concern - I think all it does is create unnecessary fear.

It’s important as any traveler to take precautions (and maybe extras as a solo traveler), but don’t let others put unnecessary fear in your head especially those who have never solo traveled before or traveled to the destination you want to travel to.

I wanted to share some of these stories because it’s so inspiring to hear about early solo traveling ladies and how they overcame adversity, let it guide you to do whatever you want to !! ❤️

🌳Visit the Public Garden & Boston Common
📚Explore the beautiful Boston Public Library
🏛️Get lunch at Quincy Market
☕️If you want coffee / pastry, I recommend
⚓️See skyline views at Fan Pier Park
🏙️Get a drink and enjoy the sunset from the epic observation deck at (which if you stay at Boston Marriott Copley Place, you get free tickets here!)

My first autumn in NYC 🥹🍁

It reminded me why fall is my favorite season.. pumpkin spice lattes, fall foliage, cooler weather.. you can’t argue with me that it’s not the best!

New York City in the fall was extra special especially in Central Park (where these photos were taken!). But I am also ready for the winter / christmas vibes too! Excited to experience that for the first time as well 🤗

Did you know the legend of Sleepy Hollow is based on a real place?! 😱

The legend of sleepy hollow was a originally a short story by Washington Irving, later adapted as a movie! A few weekends ago I decided I wanted to see the place the story is based on for myself because it’s less than an hour from NYC!

If you don’t know the story.. it’s about the Headless Horseman - a solider in the American Revolution who got his head shot off and now rises from his grave each night, gets on his horse, and searches for his lost head so he can be buried in peace in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery!

The cemetery is a real place in Sleepy Hollow that dates back to the 1600s.. it’s so historic and spooky to walk around! When I took my trip to , I stopped at the cemetery and really was blown away by the history 🤯 (no pun intended)

I highly recommend a fall trip here, especially if you are in NYC - it makes for a great weekend or day trip! So start marking your calendars for next year 🤪

Oh, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! I wanted to post this because it’s the spookiest place I’ve been to, so gotta get in the spirit 👻

Just a few more fall shots from this year 🥹🍁 (ft. my Tacoma aka the perfect fall roadtrip car)

I’m so glad I stayed in my area for autumn this year because it really popped off, and I’m so happy I got to experience it!

Here’s a few of my fav shots from my trip to Upstate NY and Westchester, NY showcasing how beautiful the fall foliage was this year!!

Did you get to experience autumn this year? Lemme know where you went!?

Obligatory fall photoshoot 🎃🍁

Which one is your fav? I’m leaning towards first but couldn’t decide so posted all hehe

Shoutout to the only car that could get me to this off the beaten path spot where I took these photos.. the Tacoma! I took this Tacoma for my fall roadtrip to Upstate NY because it’s perfect for off roading, and I was so glad to have it because seriously don’t think another car could’ve gotten me here 😂

Stay tuned as I continue to post about my time in Upstate NY!!

Last year, I stayed at this beautiful glamping site in New Hampshire 🥹🍁

This weekend I’m going on another New England fall trip but to Upstate New York instead! And actually I will be staying at another Huttopia location, but one in New York so I’m excited to share how they compare!

I really love glamping because you guys know me I love my nature, but I am not about the bugs and other things that come with sleeping outside.. I like a lil bit of luxury ok! So when I discovered glamping it felt like the best of both worlds! Wifi, comfy bed, but also still so one with nature 🥰

My biggest goal for 2024 was to get out of my comfort zone more.. and I’m SO glad I did!! I feel so much more empowered and confident than I did last year from saying yes to more things! I met more people, went to events by myself, enjoyed more solo trips.. all things that made me very anxious before but I pushed myself out of my comfort zone to do them and am sooo glad that I did 🥰 I’m going to continue this goal for next year and hope to accomplish even more things that I never thought I would! ✨Follow @solowithsav for solo travel and beautiful destinations around the world✨ • • • • • #solotravel #solotraveler #travelinspiration #travelinspo #travelinspired #2025goals

Now I see why London is one of the best cities to visit during Christmas time 🎄✨ I had such a lovely day seeing all the decorations around the city, finally trying @sketchlondon, getting a christmas cocktail at Miracle at Henrietta, and seeing the viral tree in Trafalagar! It has convinced me that Londoners know how to do the holiday season rightttt because something just hits different here 😍 Is London / the UK on your winter bucket list? ✨Follow @solowithsav for all things solo travel and beautiful destinations around the world✨ • • • • #londontravel #londontrip #christmas #christmastravel #spendadaywithme #travelvlog

It’s always worth it in the end ✨ Welcome to the best view in Bath, UK! This is the Bath Lookout, and you have to climb up over 200 stairs to get to it. It really isn’t too bad and is most definitely worth it. A must visit when you are in Bath 😍😍 ✨Follow @solowithsav for all things solo travel and beautiful destinations around the world ✨ • • • • #beautifuldestinations #speechlessplaces #bestview #bathuk #stunningview #travelinspo #toughhike

Can you believe this is less than two hours from London?! 🤯 Welcome to @visitbathuk! This is my second time in this beautiful city, but first time for Christmas.. and I have to say it might be even more beautiful! You can easily get here from London Paddington Station via the @gwruk to Bath Spa and it takes about 1.5 hours 🚊 This town holds so much history including ancient Roman Baths that date back 2,000 years, and during christmas time the city is known to have one of the best winter markets in the UK!! I just arrived here and will be staying for the next 2 nights, excited to share more with you 🥰 ✨Follow @solowithsav for all things solo travel and beautiful destinations around the world✨ • • • #london #england #englandtravel #beautifuldestinations #stunningplaces #bath #bathuk

Here are my ratings for places I’ve solo traveled to in 2024! ⤵️ ✨Follow @solowithsav for solo travel inspiration, tips, and adventures around the world✨ SAFEST🇯🇵 I’ve never solo traveled anywhere that I actually felt unsafe in, but there are a few places where I never even had to think about my safety and the one that was like that this year was Japan! People are very respectful and kind, transportation is effective and safe (theres even women only cars on the metro), you can walk around at any time of the day and not have to worry! MOST UNDERRATED🇳🇮 There are a few places I’ve traveled to that felt underrated, but Nicaragua in particular did. I knew I was wanted to travel to Nicaragua, but I didn’t actually know how many beautiful things were in the country! Ometepe island was my favorite and it was literally an island compromise of two volcanoes in the middle of the greatest lake in Latin America…. it was so so cool! I also sand boarded down an active volcano and seriously you can’t do that anywhere else! FAV US CITY🇺🇸 My favorite US solo trip this year was Boston! It really surprised me by how great of a city it is in particular for solo travelers - it’s walkable, theres a lot to do and see, great restaurants, and low key feels like a european city! OVERALL FAVORITE🇮🇩 Indonesia, Bali in particular, is a solo traveler hotspot where you will find many other solo travelers or younger travelers making it so easy to find a community or just meet other like-minded people. If you are digital nomad, this is also great place to go. There are many coworking hostels and cafés with many other people doing the same thing! •••• #travelinspiration #traveltips #solotravel #solotraveler #solotravels #solotrip #solotripping #solofemaletraveler #travelinspo #travelinspired #solotraveltips

I can’t believe no one knows about this place in New York.. 🤯 Less than an hour from NYC via the @mtametronorth, located in @westchestercountytourismny, this is the Kykuit Rockefeller Estate! The estate holds so much history and was built in 1913 for the Rockefeller family (founder of Standard Oil and the richest man in America). It has stunning views of the Hudson river and is now a historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation! 😍 It’s also very close to the halloween town Sleepy Hollow and quaint main street of Tarrytown! To visit the estate you have to book a tour online on their website, it’s open May 3-Nov 10 for tours! ✨Follow @solowithsav for all things solo travel and beautiful destinations around the world✨ • • • #newyork #nyc #usatravel #beautifuldestinations #stunningplaces #kykuittherockefellerestate
