    Eating alone at a restaurant is easier if you sit at the bar. You’ll easily be able to strike up conversations with other solo diners and it becomes fun!

    I actually love dining alone in a foreign place cuz I know I won't bump into anyone I know 😂 and I don't care if strangers judge me. But it's always gonna be hard trying something new for the first time, I feel like it gets more comfortable the more you do it.

    I think the reason I enjoy your vlogs so much is they’re like shots from a movie scene, the effort that goes into making those walking shots of yourself I don’t know if ppl understand how much work that is especially when your shoes are killing you 😭 but I just have to say makes the transitions and the flow of your videos so relaxing and easy to watch! Paired with a chill and fun personality. Sorry went on a rant but new subscriber and binged all your vlogs lol

    I travelled a lot for work many moons ago. Eating alone was something that took me a while to finally feel comfortable doing, but I'm an enthusiastic foodie so I was up for the challenge. It was in the days before smart phones so I would often have a little notebook that I used for writing down recipe ideas and food combinations from the menu while I was dinning. I still use my notebooks for inspiration in the kitchen, they're nice reminders of a different time in my life.

Your blog literally encouraged me to try something by myself🥺🥺 Being in London is still overwhelming and feels lonely (a lot) but I’ll try to appreciate the time I have here. I am looking forward to your next blogs❤❤❤

    I went to Paris last December (for the first time) and i had the option to either get room service or go out and eat alone bc the person i was with didn't wanna go. I remember thinking to myself, i'm in PARIS ffs let me romanticize my life and go eat by myself so i got super dressed up and went on a fancy candlelit restaurant had a sensational meal watched the Christmas lights and had the best time. at first i felt awkward when they asked "just you?" but then i felt powerful. It made me think of Carrie Bradshaw in that episode where she dined alone with no 'armor'.

I can't wait yo go back to Paris to do the same thing there ❤

      People are allowed to dislike what you like . It doesn’t make it a “trend” . A lot of people last summer wanted to travel because it’s the first time they were able to due to covid restrictions . Because of the hype Paris was one of the top on the list . A lot of people were disappointed given the hype and were vocal about it . More people disliked it than liked it but that doesn’t make it a ”trend”. Once we stop categorizing everything on the internet as a trend it will be a much less annoying place .
      Sincerely someone who dislikes Paris and parisians not because it’s a trend or to “look different” 😂 . Definitely willing to try living with a local to see a different vibe lol .

    When I was there for our TV show, it felt the days like a black-and-white movie in desperate need of some French subtitles. But, whether you're savoring croissants, exploring the Louvre (while trying not to get lost in there), or just soaking in the romantic vibes, Paris is like a city where 'romance meets reality,' and 'clichés' are all part of the charm! I'll love to be back here and hopefully, my travel dart would soon hit Paris.

    Speaking to solo dining, being introverted that's something I do enjoy and I have found it really isn't as uncommon or perceived as weird by others wherever I have travelled. People are immersed in their own narratives and enjoying hopefully their meals and company that me sitting by myself is just that. My partner and I have also have been together close to five years and we like to have days where we just do our own thing such as dining, doing solo dates. I've found I can recharge my battery in being around other people without having to expend social energy. It also makes me excited to come back to a place with a friend or my partner down the road if it resonates with me. Trying new things will be daunting, I'm so happy you went out of your comfort zone and did have a lovely time. Really appreciated your view as I can relate to it initially being anxiety inducing but as with anything, there are so many perspectives and merits to trying something new especially in your own company.

    I’ve never had problems with eating at restaurants by myself, but since I’m married and wear a ring I’m even more comfortable. I love taking myself on dates and I feel somewhat extra “safe”. I know you guys don’t wear wedding bands, but maybe you establish a “going out by yourself ring”. I think it’s just that we don’t want be perceived as being alone, which is normal. You did it!
