[@apriljackson5304]

Wow, I LOVED this vlog, Sojourner! 😃 I really appreciate your attention to detail and focus on minority-owned sights, sounds and eats, when available. The train details were so helpful. The Niagara Falls activities were so cool and adventurous. Wonderful content!

[@Sojournies]

Thank you so much!!

[@melissagriffin7515]

I love you! I love the way you travel! You travel like me! You did not take one selfie...you just enjoyed the experience and that was such a breath of fresh air.

[@Sojournies]

Haha thank you! Though I do have a few selfies LOL but really for my scrapbook

[@amandaregis313]

I'm glad you made it up here. Hubby and I have often been to Niagara Falls, my first 6 years we lived close enough for day trips (in the 60s, the caves were free to explore, decked out in the yellow Macintosh rain gear). In January, we're going to be taking the Maple Leaf from Niagara Falls (much less expensive than from Toronto) for an MSC cruise departing and arriving back in New York and back north again. If you're doing this trip again, and you've kept the Presto card, take the Go Train. It's definitely less expensive, $18.09 to or from Toronto, and easy access online to check the schedules. We're actually taking it from Barrie to Toronto, a few hours later, the train to Niagara Falls (hubby doesn't like the bus 😄), staying overnight and catching the Maple Leaf at a reasonable hour.

Shout out to you for going to so many Black owned businesses. Loved your vlog and the whole solo trip.

Great vlog! I’m a new subscriber & I loved this video, it’s very informative! I’m going to Niagara Falls for New Year’s with my fiancée 🥰🤗 I can’t wait!

[@Sojournies]

Thank you so much! I hope y'all enjoy!!

[@becomingdrisrael]

My childhood!! Spent a lot of summers in Niagara Falls. And the train ride to Toronto is just beautiful! We took it often from Rochester. Glad you enjoyed!

[@Sojournies]

Yesss I loved it!

[@acivilright]

You really packed in a lot! When I went to Niagara Falls as a grad student in Albany, NY (also took the train), I enjoyed myself but I didn't do half as much as you did. Looks like a blast. And I love Toronto, it's my favorite city. Kensington Market is my favorite cool neighborhood there.

[@Sojournies]

@@acivilright thank you and yessss I loved Kensington Market!

[@claragaston4731]

New to your channel. Getting inspired to do solo traveling, I do enjoy the company but you miss out when no one wants to do what you want to do. Love your channel

[@Sojournies]

Welcome! And 100% agree. I love traveling with others, but I don't want to miss my shot to do incredible things either haha. And thank you!!

[@gwenbrownlee5854]

Very interesting vlog, I will check it out next summer, I have been to both Toronto and Niagara Falls Canada, but never by train! Thanks for the info!

[@Sojournies]

@@gwenbrownlee5854 nice!! I hope your enjoy it ✨

[@dannettejackson202]

Some of my college friends took a girls car 🚗 trip to London, Ontario via Detroit City which was very nice! We stayed over the weekend... I would have loved to have gone to Toronto! 😉😏

[@Sojournies]

We're back and headed to Niagara Falls!! Would you take this ride? And would go to Toronto too??

[@selenefreya]

This looked like so much fun. Also LOVE the mascara !!

[@Sojournies]

Thank you - obsessed with colorful mascara!

[@selenefreya]

@@Sojournies what brand are you using? this is so vibrant!

[@Sojournies]

@@selenefreya the green one is Tood Beauty and the blue one is YSL! But I also have a blue one by Tood that is cheaper than the YSL one

[@selenefreya]

[@Sojournies]

[@Megzana91]

I was born and raised in Toronto and I’ve always worked downtown and I love watching videos of people who visit cause I always learn about cool new things! Its always great seeing your city from a fresh new perspective ❤ my restaurant try list has definitely grown 😊

[@Sojournies]

I love that! Your hometown definitely treated me well so I hope you go try out some new spots to enjoy it for yourself ❤

Awesome Vlog! Well done! Greetings from Long Island, New York! 👋🏽😃🇺🇸❤️

[@Sojournies]

Thank you and hello!!

[@iamerind]

This blog was AMAZINGGGGG, I was hooked the entire time. I love how intimate you were with us. You have the BEST itinerary and food options in every city you went to. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I never wanted to go to Niagara Falls even more now. The food looked AMAZINGGGG, but it’s next to that red lipstick or gloss you had on. 😂😭😭 I neeeed it, would you mind sharing?

[@Sojournies]

@@iamerind thank you so much!! And haha so the red gloss is The Lip Bar’s Vixen and I have a matte red lipstick by them too called Bawse Lady that I loveeee

[@becomingdrisrael]

Next time definitely check out Niagara-on-the-Lake

[@Sojournies]

I definitely wanted to go! Imma have to make another trip up there because I'm so sad I missed the wine region

[@lexflex5388]

Just found your page the other day and I’m bingeing your videos 😩🤗 love your channel!

[@Sojournies]

Yassss hello and welcome!! Thank you so much!

[@frannythetraveler]

Love this trip! I’ve been to both sides of Niagara but each time fine there is more to do. I haven’t done many of the things you done and would also love to explore more of Niagara on the Lake and their wine region. How many days did you spend in Niagara and how many in Toronto?

[@Sojournies]

Thank you! And I was in Niagara for like 3 days I think and Toronto for a weekend!

[@carlarodriguez8557]

Do mind me asking the name of the hotel you stayed at the view was just amazing? I’ve been there before but stayed on the NY side would love to take the Amtrak and stay in that hotel.

[@Sojournies]

@@carlarodriguez8557 yes, the full guide with all the links and names of place is in the description box!

[@PurposeDrivenAlmeda]

Do you mind sharing the dates you visited the falls as I would love to experience the fireworks as well?

[@Sojournies]

@@PurposeDrivenAlmeda this was in July! The week of the 4th of July

[@PurposeDrivenAlmeda]

@@Sojournies thank you darling. I absolutely enjoyed this vlog and it was so inspirational.
