Drop a comment and let me know where you live and if you think your city is great for solo female travel! Thanks for watching!

[@AD-cs6rp]

I live in Charlotte, NC and I would absolutely recommend here for solo travel.

[@KRodCollective]

I agree! Charlotte is beautiful and a great place for solo travel! 💕

[@AllAboutPurple]

Thank ❤

[@starsbyteresa]

I booked my first solo trip to York, ME and I’m so excited! Thanks for the recommendation ❤

[@sorayacasta8486]

How was it ? Do you have any recommendation?

[@rhussellerivera8538]

1st Solo trip to Seattle, WA next month

[@KRodCollective]

YAY!! I love Seattle! Have the best time ever, Rhusselle! 💕

[@ashantitheara]

I’m planning my first ever trip(solo) rn and I have everything booked but I’m terrified! Excited, but terrified nonetheless lol. I’m going cross country but I think for next trip im definitely gonna need to pig out in New Orleans! Video was super helpful and encouraging

[@KRodCollective]

Hi Ashanti!! Thank you for watching. 💕Yes girl! So exciting! It’s gonna be great. Please let me know how your first solo trip goes. I need to go pig out in New Orleans too!

[@chinarainradiology]

I live in Louisiana .. not New Orleans but I’ve been traveling there solo ( before I even moved to Louisiana) since I was 19. You will have so much fun and girl, the food is AMAZING

[@KRodCollective]

@@chinarainradiology I love this! Thank you, China! 💕

[@Jesuslovesherr]

How was it??

[@ashantitheara]

@@Jesuslovesherr It was AMAZING! I ended up getting the tsa precheck like you suggested so that was recycled helpful. And I felt way more safe and secure than I though I would being alone. I’m already planning my next trip!

[@xkim9313]

Im planning my first solo trip to Houston Im so nervous bc it’s gonna be my first time on a plane and alone😳

[@KRodCollective]

Oh wow! That's wonderful! A lot of firsts for you! I hope you have a great time. You can do it! 💕

[@candancegermany4645]

Great video!! Thanks for mentioning Louisville, KY. It is my hometown!!

[@KRodCollective]

Thanks Candance! And thank you for watching. Oh I love Louisville! It's such a great city and so beautiful! I want to go back soon and visit! 💕

York, ME is amazing! I agree 👌🏾❤️

YAY!!! Someone else who has been! Thank you Angel! So glad you like it as much as I did! 💕

[@angelar.5683]

I've always wanted to go to Maine. never thought about going solo... I'm from SoCal, I think San Diego or really any beach city is a good solo trip. I'm taking my first solo trip to Savannah next month for my bday. I'm nervous but super excited 😆

[@KRodCollective]

Hi Angela! Yes! Maine is so pretty. I def want to explore more of it. San Diego is beautiful and I agree, any beach town is so great for solo travel. Especially when you want to relax and unwind. Yay to Savannah! I absolutely love Savannah! Have a wonderful birthday! I hope you enjoy. Happy and safe travels to you. 🎉💕

[@07ikkin]

I seriously want to do San Diego but I'm scared of getting lost on public transit. I have never taken public transit ever

[@Sabby899-qp1dw]

Australia is safe for solo travellers as long as people are sensible

[@ks3431]

I am turning 30 this year and i badly want to do a solo trip , but unfortunately i do not have a driving license (working on it). Any suggestions where there is good public transportation connecting all top tourist sights? Thanks in advance :) btw i live in SFO so except that, i have NY in my list. Any other suggestions pls?

[@KRodCollective]

Hi there! Yay! Congrats! I love that you want to do that for your 30th! Such a fun idea. I'm hoping others can also chime in with their suggestions. But mine would be, DC, Chicago, or Seattle. I would also consider cities that are a bit smaller and not so spread out. They maybe don't have the best public transportation but everything is so close that taking an Uber (if you feel comfortable) won't be too expensive. I loved Tucson and Phoenix for that. I also loved Boise for that reason too. Hope these helped! 💕

[@ks3431]

Thanks for responding and the suggestions :) definitely will check them out :D

[@Ilovemesomemj1]

Have you ever been to San Diego. If so, how was it

[@KRodCollective]

Heeyyyyyy!!! I have been to San Diego! Only once, a few years ago. But I loved it. It was beautiful! I recommend! Are you thinking about going?

[@Ilovemesomemj1]

@@KRodCollective yes, no one I know what's to go, but I think that I should just go by myself

[@KRodCollective]

@@Ilovemesomemj1 Yes! Go for it! It's really beautiful out there.

Thank you Bootsie! 💕

[@mmmt7]

My first solo trip was SF and I LOVEDDD it. Their public transit was extremely easy to navigate. There was so much to do!

[@KRodCollective]

Yes!!! It’s such a great place for solo travel! I love that that was your first solo trip! Cheers to many more! 🙌🏾💕

[@dainesharichards3432]

Okay girl! Cheers to your first solo trip. I actually just planned my first solo trip to SF, next month. I am so excited.

[@blue3374]

@@dainesharichards3432 hey how did your trip go?

[@tori.walkergulley]

I’m going there in August

[@topchelseagirl9074]

I live in the UK and I'm taking my first ever solo trip this summer to ...NYC! It was actually booked for 2020, but we all know how that panned out. I've been 3 times before, quite a few years ago, with other people but I'm really looking forward to being able to do exactly what I want/when I want. I'm then taking the train to Boston and spending a few days there. Chicago and San Francisco are on the list for the future. For any of your non-British viewers wondering, I can confirm that London is also a perfect city for a solo visit.

[@KRodCollective]

Thank you for watching!! I'm so glad you are now able to go on your solo trip to NYC! I hope you have the most amazing time. You're going to have such a fun trip, I'm so excited for you. Yes, I have solo traveled in London and I totally agree with you, it's awesome for traveling alone. 💕

[@bnzimusa]

I live in northeast. So many cute places for.solo trips. Iv done Philadelphia, new york cuty, poconos, cape may nj, jim thorpe, ocean city maryland, dc Alexandria va, Annapolis, Baltimore, catkskills, so many places.

[@KRodCollective]

Yes!! There are so many beautiful places! I used to go to the Catskills often, it’s so peaceful there. Thank you for sharing! 💕

[@marianabrandao1307]

I'm an English teacher here in Brazil and I always use your videos to talk about travel and vacation! I hope we can all travel again soon as possible!! Keep making these videos pleaseeee!

[@KRodCollective]

Wow Mariana! What a compliment! Thank you so much! Thank you for watching and using my videos in your classes. I am also a teacher as well, so I know how important classroom and teaching resources can be. I hope we can all travel again soon too! I want to visit Brazil. Obrigada! 💕

[@KRodCollective]

I would love to do that!

[@JM-ip1es]

I’m planing on going on a solo trip to Nashville, TN. I already made a pretty nice list of things to do, that I find safe and fun for a single woman. I initially wanted to go on this trip with my sister, but I don't think I will now. I love her, but we tend to argue a lot. The last two trips we went on she almost ruined it with her constant arguing. She never seems to help plan any of the activities, but will criticize my ideas.... Plus she wants to spend most of the trip shopping, which wastes a lot of time and it’s something we can do locally. Sorry I ended up venting... lol Good video btw

[@KRodCollective]

Thank you for watching! Aww man, I've been there. Not with a sister, but I definitely know the feeling. There are some people I love, but I just know I can't travel with. haha Have fun in Nashville! 💕

[@KitatheExplorer]

I agree with you on NYC! The opportunity for choice is what makes NYC attractive! Art, food from so many cultures, etc. I wouldn't recommend it as a first destination for a solo woman traveler if they aren't used to big cities. It could be overwhelming. But hey if they are up for an adventure, go for it! And I love Portland, Maine!!! I went for a travel conference and was highly impressed!

[@KRodCollective]

Totally agree! It can be too overwhelming if you’re not used to a major, metropolitan city. Yes!! Maine is so beautiful! I can’t wait to explore more. 🧡

[@jasonmims5057]

My favorite solo travel city is Chicago. Its a big densely populated city like New York but not as extreme. It has lots of great attractions, restaurants and beautiful parks. The lakefront is a must. Its very navigate to for a big city. You can just hop on the train at the airport and go into the city which is very walkable. Oh and most of the train is elevated above the street so you get a nice view of the city as you ride.

[@mburks3748]

I'd definitely add Denver Colorado to the list. Super easy to navigate. You have a mixture of urban/mountain vistas. Awsome place to explore.

[@PisceanAviationTraveler]

I just recently did my first solo trip to New York last month for my birthday and it was absolutely fabulous! I will definitely have to take a trip to some of the cities on this list for sure!

[@KRodCollective]

Niiiceee!! Yay! I’m so glad you had a great time. Cheers to many more! 🥂💕

[@eezzy23]

I'm from Denmark and I'm gonna fly into Seattle this Summer and explore Washington and maybe parts of Oregon. Last year, I solo travelled around the US and stayed in Little Rock, Arkansas as well as San Francisco and Northern California!

[@KRodCollective]

Hi Marina! Oh wonderful! Those are beautiful areas you chose! Have a great trip!! 💕

[@eezzy23]

Oh, yay! I mean the weather is... volatile... but June/July/August are definitely the best months because of the weather. Everybody's happy, the city looks nicer (I'm specifically thinking about Copenhagen here) and way more stuff is happening. Since it's not a super popular place for tourists, it doesn't get super crowded even though it's summer. Otherwise, spring can also be nice like May, but it can still be a bit cold and windy! :) @@magiemay1

[@bethanycordero8181]

This is a great video, so much inspiration! I'm a 47 year old widow and Grandma. I'm just wondering how to adventure out on my own, when I raised my 3 kids in a major metropolitan city virtually alone! Travel should be a cinch in comparison.

[@jellygurl27]

I am laughing! I looked up Solo Travel tips on KZbin and your video is one of the first that popped up. The first place NYC is where I am going. Already been to NYC over 10 times and my first time going Solo.

[@KRodCollective]

Hahaha oh I love that!! It was meant to be! Yay! Oh that’s the perfect scenario, because at least you are familiar with the city. Have so much fun on your solo trip in the big city! 💕

[@MENSA.lady2]

I've been to the USA many times and I avoid cities like New York, Los Angeles and Houston. Mostly because I only speak English. Louisville or Nashville could be fun, but my favourites are Cheyenne and Anchorage. I love the "Can Do" attitude of the locals..

[@KRodCollective]

Love this! Such great suggestions! Thank you so much! 💕

[@Nunya144]

I'm from NYC and yes a great place for solo female travel but I live in FL now. Not so great for solo travel male or female. I have to check out Greenville though. . .

[@KRodCollective]

Hiii!!! Thank you! Aww! What part of NY are you from? Yes, I think without a car Florida is probably a difficult place to explore. 💕

[@caipirinha_king1632]

The first inhale of the Maine fresh air is worth traveling for. I’ve heard great things about Louisville for years, yet it slips my mind every year when planning vacations. Great content… I enjoyed the mix of cities and small towns (and the “y’all’s)!!

[@KRodCollective]

hahahaha Can't take the Southern out of a girl! 😂Ugh, yes! Maine is so beautiful! I really want to explore it more! And Louisville was so great! I can't wait to go back. Thank you for watching! 💕

Hiking solo ?

[@leahgn9069]

Hey Kim, was there a lot of parking in Louisville? It doesn’t seem very walkable like New York or Chicago for example so if I get a rental car for exploring, just wondering if I’ll have an easy time finding parking spots

[@KRodCollective]

Hiiii!! I don’t remember parking being a big issue when I was there. You’re right, it’s not as walkable as say New York so I found it helpful to have a car. But the parking wasn’t a big issue for me. We did have to pay for parking at the hotel but there was plenty of parking at the restaurants and shops. We stayed downtown. Hope this helps!! Safe travels! 😂
