My Solo Trip to Savannah, Georgia

[@allisonanderson]

Hope you guys enjoyed coming along with me for this one! What's the best city you've been to?

[@DarrylFredrickEvans]

Allison Anderson It's a fun place!!!!!!!!!🌍🕌

[@DarrylFredrickEvans]

You should go to Zimbabwe and the first time in my life!😇👯‍♀️🇦🇪

[@MrJimbo327]

Best city? Seville, Spain. What was the name of the hotel, in which you stayed? Planning a trip to Savannah in November. Thank you.

[@kelp4646]

I was born and still live in Savannah and I honestly still have not seen all of its wonders. But there are still some shady areas..... Usually the temperature is even higher than 70 degrees, especially during the summer. I must say the Girl Scouts is not really that important to the city, especially if you go to The Islands

[@susanneturcotte4642]

With out doubt Savannah is the best city been there 4 times.

[@malisehargrove8971]

It is crazy seeing a youtuber come to my hometown! That doesn't happen often!

Malise same!

[@craigpaulson3503]

Yes, we get more movie stars in Savannah than KZbinrs. And I'm surprised there was no mention of the movie that started it all...Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I would say Glory, but only the Boston scenes were filmed in Savannah.

[@elizabethhunter7132]

Right?!

[@disneymarie7750]

Right! I wanna go downtown now after watching this. But then I remember how wild it can get 😂💕

[@craigpaulson3503]

@@disneymarie7750 especially River Street during St. Patrick's Day 🍀 You could still go downtown. Just get someone to go with you. Safety in numbers. When was the last time you went to River Street for St. Patty's Day? 🍀

[@leepagnini6273]

If you "walked" the city in a day, then you have MISSED much of Savannah! You cant see Wormsloe, Fort Pulaski or the Beach!

[@sakrificelowe4056]

They only really promote/market the historic district. Concentrating tourist money into 1 main area

[@JDCUSA]

Lee. I could not agree with you more. I have lived in Savannah for most of my life and I am still finding new and amazing places to see and experience. We are very blessed here.

If you ever hear a southerner say their "dance card is full" for the weekend, that means all their social time is accounted for or their social calendar is full... just so you know how that tradition has evolved over time :) Also, I'm a former Savannah resident and you definitely did the city justice!

I didnt know about the 2 sisiters! Thats so fun - makes sense that those are the 3 cities they film "Southern Charm" in

[@livthelifeuluv8907]

It’s so cool when youtubers come to our city and film it. I love seeing Savannah through the eyes of someone who isn’t a local. The Forrest Gump bench was actually in the square for a while after the movie came out but people were chipping pieces off of it so it is inside of the museum on MLK blvd now. We have a lot of movies filmed in this area. Also, Savannah is super haunted. You would have a hard time finding someone who has worked downtown or lived downtown that doesn’t have a ghost story to tell. Glad you enjoyed your trip! 💕

[@allisonanderson]

I had the best time, your city is beautiful!

[@Jul_travels]

Thank you Allison. You remind me how much I miss traveling and encourage me to continue solo travel. ❤

[@katyrichardson9046]

When I was younger, we went to Savannah for spring break and my family and I took a horse drawn carriage ghost tour. That was a lot of fun!

[@MusicForever167]

As a beginning solo traveller from Europe who has never been outside the continent, these vlogs are so inspiring! At first i wasn't so much into USA because this giant nation gave me kind of a bombastique and too overwhelming impression. Idk if I would feel very comfortable in a GIANT city like New York. But then I see these less obvious US destinations and they are much more appealing to me.

[@TyLegit]

Wow that’s my city

[@joegriggsjr.6511]

Thanks for coming to Savannah and giving my city the review you gave. You are welcomed anytime. Breakfast on me!

[@marcbathon2346]

Loser

[@reggiescott6420]

Instead of Leopold's Ice Cream. A trip to the local PUBLIX will suffice less waiting. 🥥

[@xomillixo]

You should definitely try to make it down to St.Augustine! Very similar vibe but it’s beautiful and the oldest town in the US!!

[@denmarksoul1184]

[@mustang3559]

I heard the homeless people in St Augustine are enough to ruin a trip. Tons of smelly beggars.

You should have checked out beautiful Kayton homes , fraiser homes, Savannah Gardens and take a trip down Augusta Avenue. Of course don't forget to take the kids under the Truman overpass on President St. ,they'll love it! 912- come on vacation, leave on probation.

Yasss Savannah babies!! (Born and raised) Edit: I literally loved every moment of this video and I thought you did a great job! I’ve been to several ghost tours (and I think I went in the same house as you did), and I also go to Tybee Beach all the time!!

[@shsbballgirl12]

When we stayed in Savannah our air bnb was haunted, but we DID NOT know that when we booked it. We ignored a lot of signs until after we did a ghost tour and realized that the place we were staying was in the middle of all the places we went to on the tour. It was freaky! But I do love Savannah! Really enjoy your solo travel videos 💕

[@LeighAnneMarie]

Savannah looks so beautiful! Jones St especially blew me away. I would definitely want to live there

[@TimGreenoe79]

You missed out on Fort Pulaski. It's a civil war fort and a national monument. You can even see the shells still imbedded in the outer wall. It was on the way out to Tybee. Plus Bonaventure cemetery, the waving girl statue and the story behind it and the old savannah tours talking about all the cool history here including the great savannah fire in 1796 that burned down half the city. Not to mention some of the famous restaurants like the Pirate House, Paula Dean's restaurant, the Crab Shack and the Olde Pink House Restaurant.

I've never been to Charleston but so many pll say it reminds them on Savannah. I've lived in Savannah (Born and raised) as well as New Orleans. Love both cities.

[@dohc1067]

I am originally from Columbus Ga and reside in the Atlanta area. I never really thought about Ga having a coast line, but Savannah made me look at ga in a different light. In my opinion Savannah and the surrounding areas represent the heart of tourism in ga. This video was great and I want to see more of it and maybe retire there one day. Savannah is the crown jewel of ga and many have tried to duplicate it, but can't.

[@sethrox99]

Loved the video but actually the bench was there originally, but it was moved to a museum because tourists kept breaking pieces off of it for momentous lol

[@ertman110]

I worked on the movie. The bench was a prop, it was removed after the movie.

[@dnoble5692]

The bench is actually sitting at Paramount Studios right outside the Bronson gate. The back is positioned in a way so he would sit straight up. You do not want to sit on that bench very long

[@LaciHitchcock]

this video was in my recommended and I am so happy it was, I was born in Savannah but moved when I was little, I don't remember any of this town but I've always wanted to go back and see it. Seeing this video made me happy because it's like I was finally able to see what it looked like.

[@reneezancewoman]

I love Savannah. I've lived in metro Atlanta all of my adult life, and I've been to Savannah just a few times. Last time was a fun solo trip as I was going to work on a movie filming there. Whenever I pull into town, I get this weird feeling of being home. I've never lived there, but I'm an artist who almost went to SCAD, lol. So glad I can get there in half a day- there's always something new to explore!

[@jabbersheart]

No trip in Savannah is complete without a visit to Savannah Candy Company. Pralines are a MUST... Hope you visited the Fort on the way to the beach. Or some of the historical Graveyards downtown. Bonaventure graveyard is a place everyone wants to see when they come.

[@itsyazzers]

I just got back from vacation where we went and stayed in Savannah for 2 days and took a trolley tour, checked out the Riverfront shops, ate at Carleones, then had ice cream at Leopalds. Then enjoyed Tybee island for 3 days though as soon as we got there to enjoy the beach it was cloudy/ rainy the whole time.

[@WhoIsJaiK]

Didn’t watch the video, was on my homepage and wanted tot comment that I hope you enjoyed it here. Even though it was raining like all week. Hope you enjoyed it here as much as I hate it here

They used to have the Forrest Gump bench set up, but people kept stealing pieces of it. There were 3 benches used in the movie. One's at Paramount Studios in LA, another one is in one of the museums in Savanah, and the last one ended up being scrapped because it was missing so many pieces from tourists.

[@RvrGrl80]

Amazing video from a region that I've come to love so much. As a teenager, my family relocated to Georgia from the Northeast, and I hated the idea of living in the South. But I ended up at college in South Carolina and came to love that area, especially the lazy beaches. I am living on the West Coast now, and the beaches are just not the same. The laid back summers on Tybee or Jekyll can't be beat.
