Ruby, I am so glad that you had such a good time in and around Boston! You did choose a wonderful season to come to New England. I know that you are keen on Dickinson, Poe, and other American writers, so you chose an appropriate destination for a first visit. I am also glad that you have begun your travels at a young age. How brave and exciting! I am an American, and it took me until my sixties (last month, in fact) to visit England (also on my own), where I've wanted to travel most of my life, and where I very much hope to visit again. I spent time in London, Oxford, and Bath and enjoyed every minute of it. Climbing to the top of Primrose hill on a quiet morning; visiting the Vale of the White Horse in Uffington; pilgrimages to The Kilns and to Tolkien's grave; strolling the silent quadrangles of Magdelene College on a Sunday morning; getting a borrower's card at the British Library; touring the Roman baths at Aqua Sulis; catching a play with David Tennant on the spur of the moment; Much Ado at the Globe -- oh and visiting Daunt Books on your recommendation -- were some of the many highlights. Come back to the States any time, Steve Delchamps

I must say I adore these longer travelling videos that give the ‘vagabond reader’ vibes. I’ve been watching ruby since my fourth form and am almost over with a levels. The format of the videos after your uni journey have such a ‘ruby’ essence to them which makes me really happy because they’re true to how u are. The Scotland vlog is one of my favourite videos of ruby’s of all time and this is a quick favourite now too!!

It can be part of the exhiliration of going alone - that thrill of "here I am on my own two feet, alone". It will be very rewarding if you take that step. Being nervous doesn't mean it's the wrong choice, or that you're not necessarily ready, because we're often nervous the first time we do something.

I found myself in Boston for just a couple of days this August. It was incredibly misty, and it was the first time I found myself enjoying rain. I loved watching tall buildings disappear into a cloud above them. It was almost the most English of cities, in a way. There was just a great comfort to be felt as I was walking around. Glad you got to visit.

I live and work in the Boston area, and you’ve captured our city so beautifully! This truly is the best time of year to visit New England. We actually have been in a pretty serious drought since spring, so it was ironic that you visited during the rainiest week we’d had in months. There’s so much more to see! If you really like the city, there are SO many colleges and universities where you could do graduate work. Best of luck in your next adventures solo traveling in the US!

I'm so glad you had a wonderful trip to Boston, Ruby and it was lovely to watch your appreciation. of the autumnal weather and scenery in the park. But I wouldn't want your young and impressionable fan base who are interested in visiting Boston to see literary sites to be mislead by the suggestion that there isn't much to see beyond the statue of Poe and a few bookshops. Boston has one of the richest literary heritages in the USA - the public library is both a stunning (and aesthetic!) building and an historical treasure trove for anyone seriously interested in literary history; there are many possible walking tours around districts such as Beacon Hill which visit homes of many famous writers and poets such as Thoreau, Hawthorne, Henry James, Robert Frost, Sylvia Plath and, of course, Louisa May Alcott. [ironically, as you know, Poe was born in Boston but left as a toddler and his writing barely influenced by the city]. As in London, Charles Dickens got around and stayed at several addresses in Boston during his American tours, but you can see his chair and the mirror in front of which he rehearsed his public readings at the Omni Parker Hotel. I'm sure there are many other literary sites I have missed.

I am a bit confused, though, because it sort of feels like the prices aren't that different once the exchange rate is taken into account? 17 USD is really not that much more than 12 GBP, whereas Ruby seemed shocked that a book that she said would be £12 at home was $17 there.

I have lived in America my whole life, yet it is you who pointed out the natural beauty of Massachusetts. I'm looking forward to seeing your next video. I do hope you get to see Orchard House.

I went to Harvard in the late 80s, and there were many marvelous bookstores then. Wordsworth, Schoenhof’s (foreign languages, enormous selection, including 700 languages in its learning section-closed in 2017 after 161 years in business,) The Grolier Poetry Bookshop-still there, readings (online as well, although they are ticketed-it’s not easy to survive as a poetry bookshop) and many more. The Coop bookstore is good-it’s the university bookstore, unfortunately taken over by Barnes & Noble, but still enormous. Actually, most of the books are in the Harvard Library System; there used to be around 90 university libraries. Each upper class house has its own study library. Also, books in the US are expensive vs the British Pound, because the British Pound is unusually weak against the American Dollar. Currently $1 = .£ 0.9, which is historically very low. More typically, $1.25 = 1 £, so your $17 book would have been closer to £13. The British pound has been as high as $1.60 = £1. In a word, Brexit -> economic chaos (separation from EU has not been beneficial overall, especially as all imports are taxed now.) Anyways, missing QIIR, the end of an era. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Beacon Hill Books & Cafe just opened the month before so you got lucky! Just behind the shop, and all through Beacon Hill, are the homes of Alcott, Thoreau, Frost, Hawthorne, and others. The Boston Public Library is a MUST, especially the original McKim building and the stunning Bates Hall--a place I used to go to study--filled with art and incredible architecture. You were only blocks away! History and literature go hand in hand in this city. There are many walks and tours you must visit next time around. Also, take the train to Concord so you can visit the home of Louisa May Alcott and visit the graves of the aforementioned authors. Glad you enjoyed your stay!

What an adventure! How nice of them to have rain for your first couple of days so you’d feel at home. Thanks for taking us along.

I loved this video. I've been to Boston twice, once as part of a Trek America tour and again on my honeymoon. It's one of my favourite places, especially in Autumn 🍂

I'm so glad you enjoyed your time here in Boston. The Public Garden is also one of my most favorite spots. I visited there in October 2019 when I decided to move here. Fall is truly magical. You're going to love western Massachusetts next!

Hi Ruby! I don't know if you have already been but you should definitely visit Prague. The architecture is stunning, the city has this undescribable spirit and very very deep history. I think you'd love it here!:)

Ruby, this is such a beautiful video and you seem so happy ❤ going on your own is very brave but I imagine very fulfilling and you were able to get a more memorable and personal experience that way. I've never been to Boston (or Massachusetts for that matter) but I live on that side of the continent lol but in Canada so the colours look similar to what we're experiencing right now, so gorgeous and where you visited looks incredibly magical 🍁🍂

Hey Ruby! Just wanted to let you know that you're succchhhh an inspiring person for literally all of us from unmotivated community (lol). Whenever I start procrastinating, i just come to your channel and binge watch your videos to feel motivated again! Your whole life seems so aesthetic and calming that it makes me wanna just move in countryside. Just keep going, good luck💞

So glad you went to Crane Estate. My girlfriend grew up around there and we go visit her family often. Sometimes we stay at the Inn at Castle Hill and we just roam the grounds all day, it's so great. You should definitely stay there on your next trip.

I've been waiting for you to come to America for so long and I'm happy you got the opportunity to come! I really want to visit Boston someday, so this was a lovely video! Fall is definitely my favorite time of the year because of the colorful leaves. I hope you enjoy your time in the states :)
