Overall I really enjoyed my solo trip to Hawaii! I highly recommend this island for other solo travelers out there. It's has a great mix of nature and adventure activities to do as well as plenty of places to just relax and unwind. While it is possible to explore this island without a car (through busses and uber...although uber is limited), you will get more out of it WITH a car. But, if you're like me and don't like driving, don't let that stop you! There are also plenty of land tours you can do to go to other touristy spots..I just didn't do them as the helicopter tour was a little pricy and doing more tours would've made me go over my budget for this trip!

👇 Details on how I explored Tahoe without a car below!! 👇 Am I crazy?! 😂 Lake Tahoe is one of the most STUNNING destinations in North America and it had been on my bucket list for YEARS so, before it got too cold, I decided to go on a little weekend trip to explore and see the lake, at the end of October! Off season takeaways: 🍂 Less people and crowds 🍂 Some things are closed for the season eg. DL Bliss State Park 🍂 The water is of course very cold, so it’s probably not the best time for swimming 🍂 Pack warm for the early mornings and nights 🚗 How did I get around without a car? UBER/LYFT! Other transport Options: 🛴 There are electric scooters like Bird and Lime Scooters around till the end of November you can use to get around 🚌 There is a local bus system in South Lake Tahoe, but it won't get you too far if you want to go to the NV side. 🚌 There are more public transport options during high season, including a shuttle that takes you from the north side, down to the south side. Things to note about using Uber/Lyft in Tahoe: 🚗 Drivers can only pick up people from the state they are registered in! For example, if you order an Uber on the CA side and it's dropping you off on the NV side, they won't be able to pick up another ride until the get back to the CA side, and vice versa. For this reason, it can be hard getting someone to drop you off on the other side of the border! 🚗 I suggest staying in South Lake Tahoe near the boarder, that way you can walk over to the Nevada side to order an uber to somewhere else on the Nevada side. 🚗 Certain areas like around Emerald Bay, don't have the greatest cell phone service, so you're going to want to pre-book your uber if you choose to use it in that area. It's for this reason I decided to book a tour to see this side of the lake. 🚗 Time of day matters! it will be harder to find one later in the afternoon compared to the middle of the day. Take this into consideration when planning your itinerary Would you visit Tahoe in the off season? Or would you rather go in summer?

For a long time I had been wanting to visit the desert in Utah and in December when my Dad came to visit from Australia, I finally had the opportunity and we went on a father-daughter trip! Come with us as we explore some of the lesser known trails in Zion and Bryce Canyon national park in the off season! I definitely recommend coming here in the off season as lines for the shuttle and parking can be a nightmare in summer (or so I've heard!) What time of year is your favorite to travel? Trails we did in Zion: - Pa'rus trail (flat, easy, great views) - Walking along the road..if it's not busy and a slow day at the park, could be worth it..but BE SAFE!! - Lower Emerald Falls...there's 3 of them, lower, middle and upper. We didn't really noticed that much of a difference between the middle and the lower except for the angle of the waterfall..your pick! - Riverside Walk - Canyon Overlook Trail Where to Stay in Zion: https://www.hotels.com/affiliate/0Mq7Gc1 Where to Stay in Bryce: https://www.hotels.com/affiliate/O9aDr6V Hikes to do on your next trip to Bryce Canyon: - Rim trail - Fairlyand Loop trail...but stopped at the tower bridge Camera: iphone12 Pro Music: Artlist.io Follow me on Social Media to see more of my journeys!
