SOLO TRIP TO TORONTO ✈️ exploring the city, coffee shops, bookstores, thrifting & more!

[@rachelkmartinez617]

Solo travel is the best. Trip I took to Italy alone was one of the best most relaxing times of my life.

[@CarterSullivan]

That sounds amazing!

[@Danijanet]

Your hair looks so nice at the beginning I couldnt look away from it. Love all your videos. You inspire me to travel more ❤

[@CarterSullivan]

This is so kind🥹❤️ Thank you!!

[@SarahSchneider2]

I love traveling alone, it gives you the chance to chose your itinerary or explore at your own leisure

[@bhavikashah7065]

I love doing things alone as well. I started with just doing staycations where I would mostly stay in the hotel overnight. I would carry a good book and order room service. Then I started travelling to other cities and exploring them and it was so calming. I still don't step out alone at night but I go around and try local food and it's very relaxing!

[@CarterSullivan]

I totally agree that it's always best to work your way up with solo travel! I kinda had to jump in off the deep end since I started travelling for my corporate job but I haven't ventured anywhere further than 5-6 hours away yet!! I feel the same, I'm a very weary person so I haven't built up the confidence to go out at night but I still have a great time none the less!!

I love this vlog because you aren't trying to travel in luxury, you are doing things that make YOU happy.. not just for the trend if that makes sense.

[@CarterSullivan]

That makes total sense! Most people get annoyed when they come across my travel vlogs because I'm not a huge foodie, I don't do expensive things etc but I think that's what makes travelling so unique- we all do what we love. I've always made it a mission to share that it's possible to travel on a budget and truly my favourite thing to do is just roam around new places and explore! At the end of the day, the things I love at home (coffee, books, thrifting etc) are what I love on trips too!! I think that's why I'm not a beach girl haha I love exploring! I'm so glad that how I feel comes across in the video, that makes me so happy. It can be so tricky sometimes to watch content and truly understand a person and so I love these comments, it really means a lot!

[@AcidGlow]

summer is the best time to explore the city trails and parks.

[@amandadowney953]

You inspired me to consider traveling alone. Have never been to Canada, heard its a beautiful country. Thanks for the little bit of courage. So thanks for taking us along on your adventures!! Love bookstores and coffee shops too!! 💚

[@blogsbyzarine2764]

Love this vlog🤗!! Also like others have said, hair is looking FABULOUS

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you so much🥹❤️

[@elizabeththompson1525]

Loved this vlog!! Your vlog style was perfectly balanced between showing us enough and being present to enjoy yourself! The crispy apple fritter was a hard pass for me but ciabatta looked amazing!!

[@RealMatureBianca]

Glad you had a good time! The Drake isn’t in Liberty Village though, that area is just Queen West. LV is Dufferin/King to Strachan/Gardiner :)

[@CarterSullivan]

Yes I know- I realized that afterwards. Still new to Toronto so it was an honest mistake!

[@pearlaton]

I love that you went to some of the places that I love in Roncy!

[@KristaCannady]

Love these vibes Carter, you do a great job at storytelling through your vlogs 💕

[@CarterSullivan]

Thanks so much Krista!!! xo

[@mansoor3159]

What a perfect timing Carter and I am so so so excited to watch this vlog you are my truly inspiration♥️🥹😁

[@CarterSullivan]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@MoniqueGracie]

In the beginning, you mentioned that it felt as though you were giving off ‘Mom Vibes’, however my first thought when I saw your intro was ‘she looks beautiful’!! Your hair, makeup, and outfit were on point!!💞

[@CarterSullivan]

This is so sweet! I don't think the mom vibes are a bad thing at all haha if anything I love the vibe

[@juliewilliams4068]

For the last 3 yrs I have traveled to NY alone, I am from CA. It’s so nice to travel alone.

[@Namesa1313]

If you want to explore/stay in a different part of the city in the future you should try the Broadview Hotel in Leslieville. It’s a super cute neighbourhood in the east end that has a bit of a village feel

[@CarterSullivan]

Ou thank you so much for this! Definitely going to look into this one on my next trip!

[@randitochervlogs]

Toronto has been my favourite place to visit and love watching this

[@laceybeanreads]

Love solo travelling!

[@CarterSullivan]

YAY!!!

[@chandrareaux6700]

Great video Carter!! I loved it! I agree 💯 percent about doing what you love on trips. I love to thrift and a good book store OMG lol. Thanks for sharing your trip it made my day.

[@jennrob333]

Love Liberty Village/Queen West/Roncesvalles (Ron-sez-veils/or just Roncy because it's spanish and even Torontonians say it wrong lol)! If you ever come back in the summer try and check out Shakespeare in High Park, it's a magical experience on a summer night!

[@CarterSullivan]

Ah man it sounds so much fancier with the french flare to it hahahahah! I'm coming back in July for another work trip so I'll defintely add that to my list!

[@Nanariana]

I love to travel solo, they are the best. Also, your hair looks so beautiful. Love your videos!

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you so much🫶🏻

[@doriancroatia2054]

Thank you very much for this video! Amazing work. It helps me a lot since I will be on my solo trip to Toronto from EU next year :)

[@LamiaElhoni]

You look so dreamy in this video ☁️ I love it 🤍

[@CarterSullivan]

[@BriannaWoodbine]

LOVE the graphic tee 💖

[@sereneadair4941]

I just did a solitary retreat 2 weeks ago and it helped my Mental health a lot.

[@CarterSullivan]

Love that for you!! so glad it helped

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

As a fellow introvert, I looovvvveeeeeee my solo days and trips

[@CarterSullivan]

You and I both🥰🥰

[@sarausage]

A lot of ppl travel for Insta pics ur the only one I’ve seen that travels for experience of environments

[@CarterSullivan]

This is truly so kind, wow thank you! I never knew how to describe my travel and this makes perfect sense- I love immersing myself in experiencing other cities environments so thank you!

[@lindajoseph5125]

You 1000% saved with the car rental and parking Ubers are ridiculous here! But yes I agree if you’re staying in the core or Toronto parking is through the roof however everything is pretty walkable.

[@CarterSullivan]

I learned that the key is a last-minute car rental! I looked the week before I was coming. It was like $150 and then the day before I was coming I looked again and it was $47! And because I knew I was doing stuff, kind of a long the outskirts, and you would be more bang for my buck to get a car!! But like you said yeah, definitely if you're staying downtown core area everything is walkable, but I have course wanted to do everything that was all over the place in typical chaotic Carter fashion😂

[@Funandgiggles2346]

Love Toronto I lived there for 6 months. ❤

[@CarterSullivan]

Love that for you!

[@angie41609ify]

Do you happen to know the name of your Ray Bans ive been eyeing them but cant find the exact style

[@CarterSullivan]

They are from Amazon, not my real Ray Bans (I never travel with my nice sunglasses)! They are called the "SOJOS Retro Round Double Bridge"

[@angie41609ify]

@@CarterSullivan omg thanks for replying ❤️ I really like the look of them

[@dancindancindancing]

um Carter… YOUR HAIR looks amazing! (and Morgan’s!)

[@CarterSullivan]

Thank you so much!!

[@kristinparker957]

Love your content especially the home Reno/thrifts. Just have to say as a mom of two littles you look better than I've ever looked picking up kiddo from school. 😊 I'm a hat and leggings girl, it's my uniform 🤣

[@sereneadair4941]

The Drake hotel there looks lovely.

[@ryanrowe1975]

Looks cool

[@FrankHuynh]

go toronto!

[@backtoreads]

I am currently flying back from my very first solo trip to nyc and I loved my experience!!! i already do soooo many things on my own and I wanted to visit the city as soon as possible so it was a sort of no brainer to go on my own this time

[@CarterSullivan]

Ah love that so much for you!!

[@kna.atlast]

dude, i love thrifting! but heloooo what do you mean thirty dollars??????????? 10 max !

[@CarterSullivan]

I also love to thrift but I said specifically in this video that vintage curated stores/flea markets have higher prices. I never said I paid that much for a shirt just saying those are the prices in Ottawa at these curated vintage markets!!

[@kna.atlast]

​@@CarterSullivanYou're right! i think that i am just a cheapo. They are beautiful shirts too! also no hate, though my textual tone would suggest that! Again, i think i am just cheap!

[@CarterSullivan]

@@kna.atlast I am also cheap hahaha I prefer thrifting > vintage stores but I take what I can get when I'm travelling! But back home I am a cheap thrifter😂

[@kna.atlast]

@@CarterSullivan also, i mean what do you mean like you the shop and not you the person!

[@adorabao.studio]

I'd like to travel alone, but thought of unsafety worries me. Gonna try to prepare more to build the confidence to do so.

[@CarterSullivan]

That was probably my biggest concern at first! However, I found that finding a safe area, spending a bit more on a hotel that is a bit smaller and boutique so they kind of know who's coming in and out etc helped me! It's also why I get a rental car even though it is a City because I just feel safe driving places and I don't go out at night by myself!

[@adorabao.studio]

@@CarterSullivan Great advice I never thought of smaller hotels being safer, but I see it!
