Boston Vlog Part 2: Chinatown, visiting Fenway Park & Boston in the fall

What a way to spend my last international trip of 2022. Flying business class with United Airlines from London Heathrow to Boston, Massachusetts, for a weekend of exploring the larges, most walkable city in the USA. [ad press trip] This trip was a press trip with United Airlines, Travel Up and the Boston Tourism Board. There was so much to cram in that I've split it across two vlogs – here's Part 1 - enjoy!From those beautiful fall colours at Boston Common and visiting Fenway Park – home of the Red Sox, to tasting the famous lobster rolls and fresh oysters the city is known for. We explored art, culture, heritage and history as we walked the streets of Boston, USA, and even took to the water for a "Duck Tour" around the harbour. If you've ever wanted to visit Boston – I've found the best things to do in Boston and have written a guide to the best 22, including tips on how to travel there and where to stay.Check out my blog post for a full itinerary and where we stayed: https://absolutelylucy.com/22-best-things-to-do-in-boston-usa/Don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you want to see more videos from me :-)For those who are new to this channel, I'm Lucy, a solo female travel blogger from the UK, who loved adventure travel, music festivals and vanlife.

Flying Business Class for a Weekend in Boston, USA

As a solo female traveller I feel like I simply cannot let International Women’s Day pass by without a post. So today let’s go raw and share a post from when I was living in the depths of domestic violence, when I lived with a man who I genuinely was worried might kill me if he lost it too much one day.Sure, I looked happy and I was great at creating that illusion but I still had the CHOICE to leave. So many women out there don’t. So many women have their every choice taken away, live in fear, wake up every morning not knowing if that might be the day their family takes their life, or their partner, or if they might be attacked, mutilated or worse (whatever that might be).IWD has become a day of discount codes and pink clothing but we still have so much to fight for. It would take 300 years for true gender equality in this world, and that’s if the make run world would allow it. I’m no expert on this but that scares me and makes me realise just how far we have left to go.Let this post be a tribute to the wonderful, inspiring and sassy, opinionated, strong women around me who inspire me daily. But also, let’s please not forget that we live in a whitewashed world where our privilege gives us the ease of forgetting the struggle that still exists for so many women worldwide.Not sure how to end this little rant other than to send all my love to the women who follow this account, the solo travellers and the wonder women ❤️#iwd #iwd2024 #internationalwomensday #womensday #solotravel #solofemaletraveler #solofemaletraveller #womenwhotravelsolo #domesticviolence #abusiverelationships #narcissticabuse
🌟 IS CYPRUS SAFE FOR SOLO TRAVELLERS? 🌟 a dI’ve had a few questions since coming back from my trip with @jet2pics and @visitcypruscom about whether Paphos would make a good destination for a solo trip.Cyprus is definitely one of those destinations I always associated with family holidays or couples escapes, but I was so impressed with how many amazing things to do and see in Paphos. It makes the perfect winter sun destination whether you love hiking, visiting the archaeological sites or exploring Cyprus’ cultural side ❤️I felt really safe exploring Cyprus and would happily go back solo. I found everyone we met super welcoming and friendly, Cypriot hospitality is on another level 👏 so you’re never going to feel lonely when exploring this beautiful island.Most importantly, some destinations can be expensive as a solo traveller but one thing I LOVE is that @jet2pics offer a solo traveller discount which can be used on trips to Cyprus. Sign up for a MyJet2 account and you can score £50pp off, then a further £30 off using the discount code SOLO30.I will be super honest though, I think you might struggle to do a Cypriot mezze solo 😬 it was a struggle even with 8 of us.. but if you’re up for the challenge 😉Would you travel Cyprus solo?#lovecyprus #jet2cyprus #visitcyprus #solotravelingisfun #solotravelling #solotravelgirl #backpackinggirls #womenwhotravelsolo #solotravellingwoman #solotravelers #solotravellers #solofemaletraveller #solofemaletraveler #womentravelers #womentravelsolo #womentravellers #cyprusinyourheart #aphroditesrock
