I was curious as to whether how realistic it would be to take solo weekend trips to new cities.

For example, would flying out on a Friday night and flying back in on a Sunday (because we still have bills to pay and limited PTO lol) be feasible?

I’m sure this is heavily individual reliant, but I’d love to hear any experiences or stories anyone may have on balancing their M-F 8-5 and still trying to explore!

I haven’t received much as I’ve always made the excuse of “time, money, work, dishes in the sink” but I’d really like to change that this year and gain more worldly experience and perspective by solo traveling 🙂

Examples of cities I plan to potentially spend a weekend in:

Chicago, IL

NYC (self explanatory)

Portland, OR

Short list for now but I’m also open to suggestions 🙂 I don’t rlly care for tourist attractions much and would prefer to visit and act like a local (as I’m also doing this to scope out new cities to move to).

I’m also doing this to mentally prepare traveling and flying by myself as I’m planning a big trip to Japan in February of next year! Aaaaa, I’m so excited but so nervous.
