Traveling solo is the best because you enjoy your own company & you will do things that the other person might not want to I love it

I traveled to New York by myself last summer (as an European 20-year old girl) and it was the best experience ever. (I did meet up with a friend there, but only for like 12 hours or something). I do admit I was a bit nervous at that time, my first time all alone in such a big city, but I kinda had planned everything in advance (like what things to visit, where to eat, etc) and I wandered the hell out of the NYC streets. Traveling solo is so refreshing in such a big city, surrounded by people of all sorts; you're just minding your own thing, you don't have to take care of anyone else (only your belongings, haha, be careful with that), you can visit any museum you want. The only downside is that there's nobody to take good pictures of you lol.
And I also managed to find a fairly cheap airbnb up in the Washington Heights, pretty cozy area, close to a subway station.
To anyone who is afraid to do it: JUST DO IT, it will be amazing, I promise. Just be mindful about your surroundings, keep grounded and enjoy the views! New York is wonderful!

Traveling to NYC alone is A MUST, I went to NYC for the first time ever completely alone, and it was life changing. I haven't been the same person since.

I go to NYC alone all the time and I'm deaf. All my friends think I'm nuts but traveling alone means doing whatever you want.

I was in NYC by myself in 2017. The best thing I've ever done. From the subway to Coney island to Central Park I felt as safe as I ever have anywhere else.

I’m planning a trip to NYC for my birthday in November right now. I’m 35 and this will be my first solo trip. I get tired of waiting on people and people pulling excuses out of their ass so it’s time to enjoy my own company. This video was very helpful! ♥️

I have been in NY two times, both times I went alone, even with a knee injury, enjoyed it the best

Done it twice myself travelling from the UK. As you say, no one cares. Everyone is busy with their own lives. When you have so much to see and do. I think it works better being alone. It's impossible to please everyone and you just don't have the time.

I visited NYC by myself in 2018. Best vacation ever. No compromises, everyone is too busy to judge.. easier to get resturant tables... also there are plenty of hostels with social areas to meet people or even use eventbrite or meetup to find people. I went to see a movie at 10am and was the only one in the theatre.

As the man said... GO! Go alone, go solo, or go by yourself... it doesn't matter! Just go! Because in addition to being the city that never sleeps... New York is also the city that never leaves you feeling "lonely"! There's always someone to help when you need it (yes, New York'ers ARE friendly)... but if for some reason you really do want to be left alone most New York'ers will gladly respect your wishes! After all, there are 1, 664, 999 other people in just Manhattan that might need to ask directions or help buying a Metro ticket! But the moment you really realise New York will never "leave you alone" is when weeks or months after your trip you find yourself smiling as a fond memory of NYC taps you on the shoulder and say's... "Hey, remember when..." :-)

[robertkline]

Have travelled solo and love it! Cannot visit a museum and try to keep track of a friend while doing so! Exploring alone is the only way to go!

[martinakresova]

2 years ago I traveled to LA solo and everyone was telling me how crazy I am... Had the best week of my life! This summer I am turning 30 and I decided to visit NY as present from me to me 😁 hoping for an awesome experience! Traveling on the end on July.

Just came home from NYC, had an amazing week. Thanks for all of your amazing tips! I would definitely go there again solo!!

[Jimbodisfan]

I'd love to do a bookstore crawl in NYC. Never been there solo, although I've gone to Walt Disney World alone. If I waited for someone to go with me, I would never leave home.

[gersonmelendez]

I used to live NYC, I live in never again. I cant wait till I'm back in nyc to live again.

[KominyKidz]

I made it to New York City all the way from Lubbock Texas brother, watched a handful of your videos prior to coming and they've helped get me and my wife around! Your the man!!!

The majority of my trips to NYC have been solo. It’s honestly the best way to experience the city for the first time. Unless you’re with one other person that is a great traveler and won’t “bug” you or put a damper on anything. Lots of places have specific maps that you can get that will show the “highlights” like Times Square, Rockefeller Center, the Garden, Yankee stadium, etc, and also includes an overlay of the subway system so that you can see exactly what train you need to take and how many blocks you need to walk. If you’re concerned about safety, don’t be, there are cops all over the place and plenty of 24 hour businesses that you can go into if you’re feeling insafe or need help.
