Solo Travel, American Visits England For The First Time

As a widow, solo travel has become something I have embraced rather than feared. Sure it can be scary but it is also rewarding and in this video I talk about my recent adventures in England.
#solotravel #digitalnomad #widow
As a relatively new widow (it's been a few years now) I have fallen into helping other widows around the world overcome or try to overcome the painful circumstances they find themselves in, by sharing my stories and my experiences with you all, in the hope that you may learn to live again - your lost loved one would want that for you, as do I.
I have always had a love of travel but have developed out of necessity a love of Solo Travel and as such am experiencing adventures which many of my followers ask me to share with you all. As such, I have become somewhat of a Digital Nomad and digitally document my adventures to share with you on RU-vid and across my other social media platforms.
Many of you wonder how I support myself as a digital nomad and how I afford my solo travel and the answer to that predominantly is the other string to my bow, which is as an Entrepreneur, as a successful network marketer. It is also down to the vast quantity of Time Share points that my husband and I accrued together many years before. This and the amazing travel app I have in my network marketing business is what allows me to not only reap huge discounts to enable solo travel but often stay at places around the world for minimal cost.
Let's get down to my solo travel experience as a digital nomad to England. This was my first time to England and I absolutely loved it! From Avebury which in many ways was better than Stone Henge to things to do in Windsor like the amazing Windsor Castle.
The historic buildings London has to offer are magical and yet are mixed with fresh, modern architecture of the here and now - really quite spectacular!
Oh and don't get me started about the London theatre prices - talk about cheap in comparison to the prices we pay in the USA. Literally the same type of seat placement and view in London is about $200 compared to the USA where it will set you back $1000 to $1500 - what a rip off!
If, as an American, you love the theatre then do yourself a favour and tie in a trip to London, England with a mega theatre binge - you'll save yourself thousands of dollars and get to have a holiday in England at the same time!
A visit to Bath and use of the Bath Hop On Hop Off Bus service is a great way to see around the place!
Solo Travel is not something you should be afraid of. Nor should you shy away from the world because you have lost your loved one and become a widow or widower. I share my experiences with you in the hope that they might genuinely help you through what is undoubtedly a difficult and traumatic time. Your loved one would not want to see you shy away from life. In fact the opposite is true - they would want to see you live your best life in their memory, flourish and be at peace with yourself.
Many widows tell me, many years down the line, that they are still grieving, still coming to terms with their loved ones passing, still trying to live a normal life. Yes it is hard to conquer grief and it takes one step at a time but if you can live your life in their memory, then in-turn you will start to live a better, more fulfilled life yourself and believe it or not, start (if you want to) to make friends with other widows with whom you might enable one-another through experiences to come to terms with your loss and experience the blossoming of your life once again.
It is very powerful to live your life in the memory of someone you love for they are forever with you and visible in signs you might see from place to place. Solo Travel is a good place to begin and there is plenty of advice both on my RU-vid channel here amongst my other videos and on the internet in general.
As a digital nomad I embrace solo travel and digitally document my solo travel trips for you, to, in essence, normalise the solo travel experience as a widow and demonstrate that you too can do it if you put your mind to it! I am more than happy to share with you my income opportunities. I take the attitude that if you want to know, just ask me, I am an open book and can show you how I do it!
Network Marketing is kind of like marmite. Some people love it and some people hate it. Some people don't understand it and spread false propaganda. I love it but I "out" the bad practices of some of those in the industry - see my other videos and it is by doing this that I am seen as an ethical promoter of the benefits in the Network Marketing industry for enabling the earning of an additional income.
So, if like me, you are a Widow, Solo Traveler, Digital Nomad or Network Marketing entrepreneur or want to be or do one of them, then do subscribe to my channel - your support is truly humbling and it enables me to bring you more content that ultimately helps you x

For USA viewers (and maybe some UK too), the name Leeds is most often associated with England's 5th largest city in the North of England BUT the little village of Leeds in the county of Kent in the far Southeast of England is the one with the famous castle. Don't go all the way to the city of Leeds expecting to find the famous castle because it's the wrong Leeds.

@@DebbieMorton111 Hello Debbie. Well, there is a town in the Cotswolds called "Moreton-in-Marsh", that everyone just calls "Moreton." Almost your namesake. It's well known for its traditional one day agricultural show every September, one of the last "real" local shows. The whole Cotswold area is lovely, most of the buildings are built from the traditional local honey coloured stone. Daylesford Organic is nearby, owned by the Bamford family who make JCB tractors, very pricey but nicely done. You occasionally see a few celebrities there as the Cotswolds were/are a bit of a getaway for London money second homes and the rich and famous. Bourton-on-the-Water is beautiful, with the River Windrush running through it with lots of traditional stone footbridges crossing it, very picturesque. Burford is another pretty town, with a lovely garden centre. Stow-on-the-Wold is in the centre of all of this, the main town, and again quite charming. To the East of this you have Blenheim Palace, home of The Dukes of Marlborough, birthplace of Winston Churchill, not far outside of Oxford, and to the North of the Cotswolds there is Stratford- upon-Avon, William Shakespeare's home town, and Warwick, with another very impressive castle. Not sure how easy it would be to get around on public transport between these places as you are "out in the country," so access to a car would be easier. Loved your video, and your attitude. Good for you getting out there and seeing the world. Also like seeing what others think of us here in the UK. By the way, I'm not local to the Cotswolds, but love the area. I'm local to Windsor.

@@mickylee82 That's a good analogy - a bakery selling cakes might have a slight association with sweet shops, in that lots of sugar is being used to make things you can eat, but that's about as far as it goes. The sugary things they sell are very, VERY different. In bathrooms, there's lots of running water and hard impervious floors and walls - just the same as toilets, but _that's_ about as far as it goes, too.

Well gone Debbie. Glad to see you had a good time. some of us have been around the world as single travellers. You did well to get here and find your way about. In 1998 my employer sent me and a few colleagues to Italy to work, I’m a Telecomms technician. We had a plane ticket to Rome and instructions with just the address of the building to report to. I was lucky we were four. After a week of training I was given a rail ticket and the address I was to report too, a Telephone Exchange in Florence. Got to Florence found my hotel and with a taxi found where I was to work, half way along a very tourist street with the Duomo (cathedral) at one end and the Uffizi Gallery the other. You soon get to find your way around. Good video. When you come back try and visit the other 3 UK countries. I live in Wales where we are about the size of New Jersey but have 600 castles and many mountains and 3 national parks, The North coast is teeming with really good castles, some right on the railway line. Scotland to the north with Edinburgh, Glasgow, the Highlands. Again, many places accessible by rail. And, of course Northern Island with Belfast and the Titanic, the Giants Causeway. Both Northern Ireland and the country of Ireland both have a reasonable rail network.

Thank you so much for pointing that out. I married into the name and was never told of its origin. I’m going to reach out to my sisters in law to see if they have traced the family history back to the region. 🙏🏼❤️
