I felt very safe at this hostel and the surrounding area. I was able to walk alone, as a woman, late at night within a mile of the hostel. Boston is reported to be one of the safest cities in the country, if not the safest, for women to walk alone. I completely agree with that, and the hostel is no exception.

@@NervousNessie thanks alot for your reply and review.

@@user-qx3oz5un7i You're welcome.

There are hotels within walking distance to the entrance of the park. I’ve stayed at one of them before (I can’t remember which one but it was nice). The metro line (subway) is also within walking distance of the park. You can take the metro to various parts of LA. That metro line is the purple line (they are all color coded). It will take you into Hollywood, where you can check out the Hollywood walk of fame. It also runs all the way into downtown LA, where you can connect to other metro lines. For a week’s stay, I would say to check out the walk of fame, Griffith observatory, La Brea tar pits, and the Santa Monica pier. LA is too large to see everything in a week, but the places I mentioned are frequently featured in movies and tv shows, so it’s kind of cool to say you’ve been there.

@@NervousNessie Sounds amazing! I wouldn't need to see all of LA but some of it would be nice. Though I could probably also stay at Universal Studios the whole week 😁

@@maven22 I completely understand. It's been years since I've been to Universal Studios Orlando Florida, and they've added so much including the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Next year they are adding a whole new park with even more Harry Potter. I'm hoping to go once they are done and spend a week there as well.

Thank you for watching.

Every airline has different weight limits for checked luggage and carry on luggage. The way I determine it for myself is if I can pick up the bag without any struggles. If I seem to struggle, or if I’m in doubt, I’ll weigh the bag and check what the limits are.

I always carry more than I need, but some of my tops and bottoms can be mixed to make new outfits.

I hate that you’ve become disappointed with the Peak Design bag. I still love mine. I will agree with you that the bag is a bit heavy when empty. Also, the straps do become loose when you wear the bag for long periods of time. I’ve found it handy to let the straps dangle a little so that as you’re walking, you can tighten them as needed. If your straps are really loose, maybe reach out to the company and see what they suggest?

@@NervousNessie they are a bit in between. They are not too loose, but I adjust them while wearing them. I'm always on the look out for new bags and maybe I'll sell the peak design at some point.

I think anything that has straps you’ll have to adjust with wear and tear.

Thank you so much. Review videos are definitely coming soon. I used to have a neck pillow that I carried with me when I first started traveling. However, I quickly got rid of it. I found that it was a hassle to keep up with since they are kind of bulky. If you get one with a snap, you could hang it off your luggage, which is what I did. However, when walking through an airport, I found it catching on things as I walked. I also thought it was a little hot when I wore it. Overall, I feel like they are more of a hassle than they are worth.

I agree. Hotels are nice for privacy, but can also feel cold and make you feel lonely if traveling alone.

Me too.

I've found that it doesn't matter where you go along the edge of the lake, the view of Chicago is always breathtaking.

It’s one of my favorite cities.

I agree. I really think it’s all about which room you stay in.

Thank you.

There are some problems in your channel and that's why you don’t get more audience. I can help you to fix these problems.

@@MehediHasan-lt4wq Thank you for offering to fix the problems you see.

Thank you. I hope you like it as much as I do.

This was a mixed dorm. They do have all female or male dorms available though.

Thanks

There is another one, Kex. I haven’t stayed there though.

You’re welcome. There are definitely some hidden gems in DC.

Yes you can.

Thank you. I feel like the upgrade is worth it if the train is really packed, the ride is four hours or more, or if you feel like you need more leg room to stretch your legs without having to stand up.

I have quirky things that I collect. Like you, I also collect Lego. Mine are all Harry Potter themed. I also collect Nano Blocks. They are a mini version of Lego (which is great because they are cheaper and take up less space).

Yeah I was sad to see that Chicago lost. I'd like to watch a Bears game in person the next time I go back to Chicago.

Thank you kindly

For sure. It’s also a great way to see a lot of the country and save money.

I would love to take the full route one day.

Thanks

It was disappointing to miss the gunslinger show, but going during the off season meant it was less busy and you could take your time and see everything.

It’s a really nice small city.

Thank you.

Very true.

Great advice. If we don’t realize what stress and anxiety looks like within ourselves, then we can’t manage it.

Thank you

@NervousNessie 🌈👠👠🌽👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏾🥰❤️👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏾 my adorable lovable Dorothy your welcome and my Oz key opens up your heart and our togetherness 💓🗝

You’re welcome. When I travel with it, I have it completely stuffed full. It fits under the seat, but I have to force it. The overhead bins are usually full on the flights, and I don’t want to have to check this bag. So I push it under the seat with my foot. However, if the bag isn’t packed correctly, it could damage the contents inside.

Glad you like them!

You’re welcome. I’m glad my video could bring back those memories for you. Billie really is very nice.

In most cities in the US, it’s pretty safe to walk around. But you’ll want to do your research first, because even in safe cities, there always seems to be areas that are less than savory. If you’re interested in seeing a high school or college football game, you definitely want to watch it in a city or town that has football culture imbedded in it. This is most common in the southern or Midwest states.

Great suggestion. Thank you.

@NervousNessie 🌈👠👠👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏾 Nessie your welcome and sending loving you a lovable scarecrow hug 🌽 🤗

@@NervousNessie 🌈👠👠🌽👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 Nessie I'm glad you loved my Lovable Scarecrow hug that makes me feel loved 🥰 inside my ❤️ and love you like us at costume party you as Dorothy Gale and me as Scarecrow 💞

Thank you. I’ll use Google Maps to map out the route, especially if it includes walking. I like that public transit cards can double as a small souvenir.

I’m glad this one is better for you. I’m not sure which one I’m taking.

Thanks! 😃

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Unfortunately there aren’t as many hostels in the U.S. as there are in other countries. Hopefully that will change soon.

You’re welcome 😊

It’s definitely harder to make the beds the older you get.

Thank you. Yes it was.

Got to have one big enough to fit dirty clothes. Lol

Thank you. I hope you enjoy it.

Good morning. According to the Peak Design website, it’s 2.05 kg (4.5 lb).

@@NervousNessie THANK YOU

@@suzannetremblay2218 You're welcome.

There are more. Check out Hostelworld (online or the app) to see what’s available.

Thank you for your comments. Even if a hostel has washers and dryers, they don’t always work or they’re being used when you need to use them.
