How did I survive NYC solo on $50 a day??

Solo trip to NYC on a budget? Here’s how I did it: Stay Cheap: Skip the city chaos—stay in quiet towns along the Hudson Line (Yonkers, Tarrytown). Airbnb starts at $50/night with easy train access to Manhattan. Travel Smart: Avoid the subway—use buses and trains for a cleaner, safer ride. Always be aware of your surroundings! What to Do: Free Museums: If you’ve got a BoA card, museums are free the first weekend of the month. Vintage Finds: Hit Buffalo Exchange and L Train Vintage for cool, budget-friendly shopping. Souvenirs: Skip tourist shops, try MoMA Design Store for unique gifts. Food: Apollo Bagel—best salmon bagel ever! Must-Have Apps: Flush: Find bathrooms easily. Traintime: Plan day trips, like visiting Yale. Got any NYC budget tips? Drop them below! #NYC#budgettravel #solotravel

where’s the best spot in italy for a fun, affordable trip?

I’ve been chatting with my friends about finally taking that Europe trip we always talk about, but we’re all trying to keep things affordable. Italy keeps popping up—can’t beat the food, right? But here’s the thing: every city seems to have its own vibe, and I’m not sure which one actually fits what we want. We’re hoping to go in late June, so I’m picturing warm evenings, busy piazzas, and maybe a few late nights out (if my knees hold up). I want a place where we can just relax, but also wander around and find cool spots—maybe a hidden café or a street market. But some cities seem crazy expensive, and I’m not looking to spend my whole retirement fund on three days of gelato. Has anyone found a city in Italy that’s got a lively center, good nightlife, and isn’t packed with tourists or overpriced? I’d love to hear if you found a place that surprised you—maybe somewhere that felt a little more real and a little less like a postcard. It’s tough to know what’s worth it when every travel site says their city is the best. #ItalyTravel #BudgetTravel #EuropeTrip #Travel
