hi all!

2023 has been a year of many firsts for me.. one being taking my first ever solo trip!! i went in feeling really nervous and anxious (mostly about the pod hostel haha), but i ended up LOVING my time in new york and it definitely took me out of my comfort zone in a good way. i hope this is the first of many solo trips in the future :')

Thanks for the restaurant spots. Still relevant 2 years later. 🙏

Well done! Nice & honest vlog!👍👍I recommend the New Testament or the book "the Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel, which is a nice introduction to Jesus! He will help you as a companion in life & give you the strength you need for future vlogs! God bless! Dónal

I have watched many vlogs but none hit as hard as this. The words in your introduction was exactly what I have felt and here I am, thinking about New York for a holiday since I can’t move there.

The vulnerability in your vlog, the camera work, the editing, perfect. From someone in my 20s to you, hang in there and keep up the great work!!

Hi Elaine!
I cant help but relate to you. I am 25 and going on my first solo trip as well on Valentines weekend to NYC. I loved that someone my age had experienced this and looking into your channel, seems like you loved it and decided to move there✨
Thank you for this video and I will definitely check out the shops you visited!

Just came across this video and can honestly say I relate so much, especially to the intro of your video. I have had those exact feelings and thoughts about New York and eventually planning to live in New York (solo). I am so relieved to know that someone else went through a similar experience/situation as I did earlier this year! I tried to temporarily move to New York earlier this year (for a few months) for school, but unfortunately it didn’t go as planned. Initially, I was embarrassed that my experience didn’t work out, but I don’t feel so bad about it anymore. Thank you for posting this video 😅

Planning to go to NYC next year (summer) from southeast asia. What are your tips in terms of budget for 5 days and 6 nights (food, other expenses) and how's the transportation from JFK airport to the city centre (including the cost)? Cause most of my money will go to the flight tickets, thankfully I don't have to worry much about accommodation!
