MY GUIDE TO AN INEXPENSIVE NEW YORK TRIP AS A SINGLE MOM

New York City was the last place we travel before everything was closed in 2020.
As things started to feel a bit more “normal” or at least we thought, we decided to safely take a trip to New York. For some reason, my daughter wanted to go back. I had my doubts, NYC is quite tiring and very active. My daughter is the opposite of that therefore I couldn’t understand why she wanted to go, but we booked our flight and traveled to NYC in July.

As a single mom, NYC can easily add up a lot of expenses if you don’t do your research or budget correctly. I am sure I’ve mentioned before that my way to travel is to budget and find as many pocket-friendly activities for us. The biggest splurge for us when we travel will most likely always be FOOD!

Here’s my guide on how we were able to enjoy NYC on a budget.

EXPERIENCING CHICAGO AS A SINGLE MOM

We finally made it to Chicago, Illinois. This state has been on our travel list for quite some time, but we just have not had a chance to go until last October.
You all know our love for travel, and being a single mom shouldn’t stop you. Although I know, it can be challenging, but if you make it a priority, you can make it happen. We spent two full days in the Windy City, and we loved it. Since it was our first time visiting Chicago, I wanted to do as much as we could in 2 days, so I had a small “must-do” list.

We love to explore new cities, so continue reading to see where we went, what we did in 2 full days, and how you can enjoy Chicago as a single mom.

SAN FRANCISCO IN 4 HOURS


Why is it that I can’t find anyone to adopt my daughter and me in California?
I mean is not like we don’t know our way around anyways.

We were supposed to be in California for a wedding over in Visalia, CA.
Once we were in town, which was very similar to Texas, I looked up significant cities around us.

Fresno was the closest major city, but I also noticed that San Francisco was about three and a half hours away.

3 DAYS IN NEW YORK CITY AS A FIRST TIMER

New York City

Hola!!

Long-time no see, huh?! I know.

Blame Mercury Retrograde.

Back in August, I traveled to New York City for the very first time in my life.

The Big Apple was on my to-do list for sure, but I never felt that “OMG” feeling in my stomach to visit. Am I making any sense?

Well, I hope I do.

I arrived late in New York after my flight got delayed for 3 hrs.

I was scared, and I’m not going to lie. You know me, I’m always acting strong.
On the ride to my hotel, I couldn’t concentrate on what my Lyft driver was telling me, (I had a very, very talkative driver) I was so focused on seeing everything around me. Read more

BIRTHDAY TRIP 2018 WITH MAZDA

Disney world 2018

Our Birthday was back in April.

It’s no secret that instead of planning parties (which in my opinion parties are a waste of dinero)

I would first Jailah have an experience that she will always remember.

She’s only had two actual birthday parties, her first Birthday and when she turned 7.

Instead, we make birthday trips.

We usually take our birthday trip during the same month as our birthdays, but this year we decided to wait a little longer.

Our destination: Disney World!

We’ve been to Disneyland 3 times.

For most of our trips of we head over to the west coast, California specifically, which we love and can never get enough of.

This year we decided to switch it up and head over to the east coast, give Florida a try, and visit Disney World.

WEEKEND GET AWAY WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK

San Antonio Riverwalk

Weekend getaways are my absolute favorite!
I suffer from wanderlust, so there are times where I will just have this urge to get up and leave somewhere.
Now my brokenness doesn’t allow me to do it as much as I would like, but I do try to do it as often as I can.

Every so often, we all need to get away without a plan. Vacations are fantastic, but honestly, they are stressful to plan, it can take months to plan and save.

Our financial situation doesn’t allow us just to get up and leave and getaway all the time. Yet even going to a small town near your area gives you renewed energy.
I am a true believer that it’s good for our minds to be in a different environment.

Since I wasn’t able to take any vacation during the summer, I decided to spoil my little one during the month of November.

We were actually planning on heading to Florida but we opted for California once again.
 
Now this is more of a short get away and some us time (like we don’t spend enough time together)
We are practically glued all the time!
