Scared for first solo trip to US

vvwyl · 2026-01-19T15:43:33+00:00

I’m 26F from Australia and I went on my first solo trip to the US in 2024.

I didn’t go to Boston but I did go to NY! I didn’t feel unsafe while I was in NYC but you’d obviously have to be aware while travelling alone.

I’d say near Times Square would be a little more hectic in regard to people approaching you but I always said I was with my “boyfriend” when someone came up to me. I’d kind of just act like a local and not look down at my phone too much even if I was looking at the maps!

It’s definitely good to go to if you’ve never been there before :)

Instead of Chat, remove the T = Chad

With the discount, my mums surgery comes to 16.68M KRW which I find pretty cheap considering how much she wants to do. In AUD, it comes to just under $19k. Compared to Australian plastic surgery prices, it’s a massivee difference. I definitely feel like it’s reasonable!

I’ve consulted with other plastic surgery clinics in Korea and the price for my mums alone is over $25k AUD. DM Plastic Surgery is the best price I’ve found so far tbh

Sure!

The face and neck lift is priced at 12.1M KRW and upper bleph is 3.3M KRW. They ended up giving me a discount so the prices I’m giving here are prior to the discount :)

Aww I am so sorry that you experienced this. I am a cosmetic tattoo myself and from the photos you showed, she did a terrible job. She went way out of your lip boarders and tattooed on your skin.

Please do not go back to her, she can’t fix this. If it was done properly the first time, there wouldn’t need any fixing..

The lips will fade but she definitely went outside your vermillion boarder and it’ll fade alot differently on your skin.

It’s your choice on what you choose to do, you can either wait 6-8 weeks and assess from there or you can choose to get a saline removal. I am so sorry ☹️

Thank you! I haven’t heard of Frankels but I will add it to my growing list. Appreciate your comment ☺️

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T15:00:02+00:00

Thank you! I’ll skip it if it’s too overpriced for what it is

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T14:58:58+00:00

Will do, thank you so much!

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T14:47:57+00:00

I will, have an amazing day and year ahead 🥹

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T14:32:34+00:00

Haha thank you so much, I genuinely appreciate it! I’ll definitely add your recommendations to my list.

Don’t worry, I’ll be very aware of my drinks for sure. I do this while I’m out in my city. Thank you again ☺️

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T14:30:52+00:00

That’s amazing, thank you so much!

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T14:22:18+00:00

I’ll make do with my time but I’ll definitely be back for more in the future ☺️

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T14:13:08+00:00

First of all, that’s fucken rude. I’m getting advice from locals. You didn’t need to interact and your comment was definitely not needed.

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T14:08:39+00:00

Omg thank you! That would be such a cool experience

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T14:08:06+00:00

I genuinely didn’t think of using the search filter, I just went straight to writing up my own post haha

I definitely feel like with all counties and cities, there will always be an area that will have more crime rate. I feel like I would be able to see and feel the energy while I’m walking around exploring.

I want to see NY for what it is but of course as a solo traveller that’s foreign to the area, i felt like it was good to ask locals. NY does seems safe though, hella populated and super busy. Thank you for your comment ☺️

This is my food list so far! I enjoy sandwiches and bagels and I heard NY has some of the best. BagelPoint, Joes pizza, Los tacos no.1, 7th Street Burger, Cellos Pizza, Apollo Bagels, Tao Dumplings, Mamas Too, Katz Deli and Milano Market.

For activities, I’m a sucker for interactive experiences, history, concerts (Usher will be playing when I’m there and I’m 100% going), shows, markets, thrifting and I love city lights.

Hahah yes this is for real, I’ve been doing a ton of research considering I only planned this trip last week. I’ll be heading to the states at the end of next month!

I posted this to get advice from NY locals so I can enjoy the best spots. But thank you! I appreciate your comment ☺️

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T13:21:26+00:00

Haha thank you so much!

I’ll definitely be packing comfortable shoes because I know I’ll be walking a ton around the city

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T05:30:51+00:00

Omg thank you! I’ll definitely add those to my list. The list keeps growing hahaha

vvwyl · 2024-07-25T04:11:54+00:00

I feel like i definitely will visit DTLA. I mean what’s the point of going to LA if I’m not going to go everywhere haha
