This video is so comforting! I've never been to New York but this vlog makes me want to go there so bad!! Also, I believe that tips come from experience so thank you for that! ❤️

[@sunnyirenes]

I came across your vlog randomly and Im hooked! I resonated with what you mentioned in the intro and I also still struggle with those same feelings from time to time. My first solo trip was also to NYC when I was 19 :) your vlog was so warm and nostalgic for me

[@heyytheresmile]

Love *luxdups* the way you show it! You really focus on showing off the bag. I don't think any other KZbinr can show off bags in as much detail as you.

hello, Is it safe to travel as solo woman? i am so confusing right now if i have to plan to NY

[@heyytheresmile]

hi! i didn’t feel unsafe while i was there - if you want to be extra safe, i would share my location with a trusted family or friend or someone you know who lives in NYC!!

[@abbyferrera]

Name of the accommodation you booked?

i stayed at New York Spirit Retreats!

lox creamcheese is disgusting....try scrambled eggs bacon instead. 13:30 so cute in blue and adorable. But, stop with the creamcheese. Plans are for eternal life....not earthly destinations.
