Every time my brain tried to say Annapolis, my mouth wanted to say Minneapolis so somehow we got a weird combo HAHAH. Don't worry, I got better at pronouncing it the next MD vlog (coming soon). Sorry for notoriously being bad at pronouncing things HA! But this was SO fun, thank you for allowing me to travel in this season of life and bring you along!
This is incredible! I just started following your account only a few weeks ago and I live in Downtown Annapolis!
Minneapolis is a fun place to visit also!...But...not in the winter...
Hey Michel! I love your volgs!! Do you have any solo travel tips for someone a little scared to travel alone? Thank you so much and fyi you are such a blessing!!
I live in Annapolis and I’m so glad you were able to visit during your time in Maryland! With the love you have for boats, water, and cute little towns..I thought you’d really love it❤️⛵️🦪
Glad you had a great time in Maryland. Can’t wait to see you Annapolis vlog. Hope you were able to see some of the sailboat when going over the bridge.
You should definitely do that Paris solo trip that you’ve mentioned! There’s really something special about traveling abroad alone. I went on a solo trip to SE Asia when I was 29, and it was one of my best experiences ever☺️
I did tons of solo travel in my 30's, from coast to coast & even to Scotland & England. I tell every young person I meet TRAVEL!! Even if you don't have the money. Find a way. Because now I have medical conditions that make it impossible to travel. But oh, the memories I have... ☺💖
... come back when the Chesapeake Bay Log Canoes are racing on the Miles River ... they are beautiful and MAGNIFICENT ... and when you are at the bar ask for a "Dark&Stormy" ... that a sailors drink ... "Sea Nettles", the bane of all Log Canoe sailors/boardman ... we have been known to capsize ... often !!!
My parents live in southern MD, and can take day trips to St. Michael's. It's such a quaint little town. I love everything and anything by the water! So glad you had a nice time - wish you'd have had more sunshine!
Hey Michel! I have loved watching you come into your own. I am a therapist, so I hope you don’t mind me wondering… I wonder if your new fascination and joy of sailing is connected to your new found joy of exploration of life post divorce. You are charting new waters. Literally and figuratively:)
Love the channel!
"We flew into Baltimore. We being, me and you." So cute the way you do that. I hope we're having a great time!
I was beginning to think the we reference was her boyfriend.
@@Sandusko I was thinking the same - like what if she brought him but kept him off camera 😂😂
Would love to see more of these solo trips in 2023 for you.originally found you through your solo trip to Boston and proceeded to watch them all. Please do more.
Amazing that one man could single handled hoist the sail! Thank you for the discreet pics of the oysters. Some of us have our gag reflex triggered by oysters! The word you were searching for was "coaster"!
I have watched this one multiple times. Love how happy you are during it.
Oh, this was so lovely to watch! I’m now 40 married, own my own company, and two sweet kids. I used to do solo traveling when I was in my 20s and early 30s before getting married! It was a sweet time and season. This season is too! It’s good to find beauty in each season we are in! I’m cheering you on through your healing and new adventures! May God continue to bless you, protect & guide you! 💕💕💕💕💕
Girlfriend you are living your best life and I 👏🏼 am 👏🏼 here 👏🏼 for 👏🏼 it 😆
Michel, I'm from Maryland and grew up near Annapolis! I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. I hope you were able to stop in Easton, which is also adorable. Next time you're in Maryland, visit Assateague Island, where the wild horses are! The eastern shore of Maryland, especially St. Michaels is where a lot of us who work in DC retire. It’s a dream. Thank you for highlighting my home state!
Same lived here my whole life love the summers
Totally agree. I live in Salisbury MD and this was so nice to see 🥰🥰
I'm 31 and on my second marriage (plus have 2 kids). You inspired me to travel solo and I'm going to Hawaii for the first time (and by myself!) Next month!!!
I hope you do some east coast fall, especially New England area, because I think you would love it!!!! Especially from a photography stand point. It’s absolutely beautiful and so many fun fall festivals. Maryland looked absolutely beautiful, such an amazing vlog. Love your videos.
I just love your travel vlogs and how you speak about solo traveling! Couldn’t agree more with that “free” feeling!
Love hearing about maryland🥰
This randomly showed up in my suggested feed. I am from The next town over from St. Michaels, known to us locals as “St. Mikes”, so cool to see this on RUclips!
Joyful trip that you shared with us. 🌺❤️
Making me feel like I need to solo travel at 24!! Definitely inspiring & seeing your confidence makes me want to be confident with traveling by myself. Fingers crossed it happens for me someday 🤞🏻🥹
Oh this makes me so happy to hear! I hope it happens for you too 🥰🤍
Hey Michel, I'm literally SO happy you got to visit Maryland! I lived in Maryland for most of my childhood and actually have visited both Annapolis and Saint Michael's a few times. Both places are just so stunning! Maryland is definitely a place that will always be close to my heart for many reasons, especially the scenery, flag, lessons, and beautiful friendships. Thanks for bring us along as you travel. I literally can't wait till the next vlog you do!
If you like this lighthouse you would be blown away by Florida's st.augustine ponce inlet Light house at 175 ft tall. It would make a wonderful December trip because they put up lights in the town every year!! Lots of fun activities to do as well.
Solo travels help us to refresh our inner self's, love it
Oh my gosh I just stumbled upon your video. I’ve been to Saint Michael’s three times already, but I was needing to mentally revisit before I can go back in person again. So glad I found this. You’re also super adorable. :) and I love the whole coastal grandma era comment. And also, you go for traveling solo! Lol I’ve been there for years now! I do the same thing, except I bring my golden girl (retriever) Georgia with me whenever I can!
I went gluten free for 3 years and it was so difficult to find options. I finally went back to eating limited gluten. I do not have Celiac Disease just thyroid issues. I am happy you included trying to eat gluten free. Love the video! ❤
I found you from your Maui vlog. I live on maui. You are such a light of sunshine! Thank you for sharing your world 💓
I know I've suggested 100 times for you to check out Michigan...we do have several lighthouses that are also Bed and Breakfasts.
Just found your divorce video and honestly I felt like crying when I was watching it. I was gaslighted in my last relationship too. Sometimes it's hard to listen to our gut feelings.
It's funny that some people are lucky and they find the right person the first time around and they never have to think that they aren't enough or that there's something wrong with them.
The truth is, there's never anything wrong with us. We just have to find the right person who would love every part of us without us having to tweak ourselves for them.
I am so happy you are finding so much joy. Beyond awesome!
Love, love, love this!!! Thank you so much for bringing us along!
Glad to see another vlog from you! ❤️
Such a perfect spot. All the feels!!
Love love love your solo travel vlogs 😍😍😍😍
Love to see all these beautiful places 😍 thank you 😊
I smile everytime in the intro "hi friends, how are ya?"
Here for it! Here for you! Love all your content! You are truly an inspiration for me! ☺️🙏🏻
Omg this looked so peaceful! You’re inspiring me more and more to do a solo trip.
I'm so happy you're doing these solo trips for yourself and thank you for sharing with us!
I enjoyed the vlog Michel it looked like a great time and I enjoyed going along with you on just a little friends trip
Michel your vlogs always make me happy .... thank you for sharing your solo trips 😀
I’m so happy for you and the blessings this past year has brought 💕
💙 these travel vlogs. Thanks much for sharing Michel!! Travel safely 🙂
Thank you for sharing such beautiful place!!
A bag of fresh tomatoes.......small towns have some some of the sweetest souls :)
This brought me back to a lot of memories I have on the east coast 🥰
So wonderful to see you living your best life! ❤ Your videos make me happy!
You absolutely have to go to German Village on the outskirts of Columbis, Ohio. We do a
girls weekend there every fall in October. It is the most quaint village that feels like you are in a Hocus Pocus scene. The homes are decorated unbelievably for Halloween and the whole small town has the most charming restaurants, stores, bakeries etc that you can walk to everything. Please get an Airbnb and go there for a weekend in October. You will not be disappointed
I love your enthusiasm for life! That is what I strive for too. Please keep solo traveling and encouraging others to as well.
I love your solo-trips 🙂. I love travelling, exploring the world. Haven't done that in a long time. I hope I will be able to soon. 🙏😎☀️❤
You are living your best life..what a blessing! ❤️🙏
This was a beautiful vlog and you are a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us ❤
Just started watching your videos and I love it! Keep living your best life, you look so happy 🙂
What an awesome trip. I love these kinds of trips, that's totally my jam, relaxed, enjoying the view, the food and the locals. The antique shops, bakery, ahhhh, total bliss, so happy you go out and enjoy this time alone to explore and find yourself again.
I love your travel blogs so much. This highlight for me was the lighthouse. They are so meaningful for me, thank you for taking me along. I had fun and felt relaxed.
THANK YOU for taking me along with your journey to Maryland. The scenery is so beautiful and sailing trip was exciting and being in the water is ALWAYS therapeutic for me.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Michel, it is so clear to see that this season of your life is just smothered in joy. 💛
Beautiful vibess 💯
I love travelling too, it's a sweet thing
Yay!! St. Michael’s is my favorite on the eastern shore of MD!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed my home state.
Love both the sailboat prints you got. They will be great additions to your gallery wall.
I love this blog so much!!! Although I don’t love seafood, I do love sail boats and have always wanted to go to the east side. Thankyou for this very much needed vlog!
You inspires me so much!!! I am also planning a solo trip to myself!
Love watching your videos so much! Feels like I’m on face time with a friend just talking about everything life! I honestly feel like you help to bring out the best in my mood and personality. I just feel so comfortable and at ease when I watch your videos. Thank you for that! ❤️ ❤️
I spent many summers; when I was young; just about every weekend on my parents boat. We went to St. Michael’s every year! So glad you got to travel to and see such a cute little town off of the Chesapeake Bay! I especially love that you travel solo! I wish I had the means to travel like that! Maybe someday… until then I’ll just live vicariously through you! 💗
I really like these travel vlogs showing foods and hotel rooms!
Such a fun vlog, beautifully shot and edited. I also liked your positive attitude despite places being closed!
MICHEL THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED THANKS FOR TAKING US TO SEE MARYLAND, THE LIGHTHOUSE WAS BEAUTIFUL SO HISTORIC, THE BOATS😊THE RELAXING HOTEL AND TO TOP IT OFF THE PERFECT MUSIC❤️
I'm so proud of you Michel.
Michel!! Love LOVE the solo travel vlogs!! You’ve inspired me so much to travel on my own especially after a hard breakup. I’m finding peace in solitude and it’s great to try new things in a new chapter in life :)
Thank you for taking us with you. It’s like I’m there with you experiencing it all. I loved the quaint spot by the water and boats. The lighthouse was super sweet. It so wonderful to see you truly happy and living your best life. 💕
Lighthouses and sailboats are two of my favorite things. I've been enjoying your travel vlogs.
Your videos always put me in a good mood, such a safe space here :)

Michel I really enjoyed the scenery in this trip!! It's so relaxing and peaceful looking. I'm kinda envious of the rain 🌧️!! I'm one of those who LOVE THE RAIN 🌧️!!! I'm looking forward to seeing your next vlog and what beautiful scenery awaits!! Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 😃
You are a breath of fresh air!
Everything about you inspires me and I absolutely want to do more solo activities, it's tough for me to even go to a coffee shop by myself but I am going to work on it 🤍 Love seeing you live your best life!!
That lemon bar looked absolutely amazing 😍😍😍
Thank you for your videos! I have just discovered your vlog and I admire your energy and positivity, especially after going through such hard times. This is refreshing and an insipation for me. 😊
Love that you’re solo traveling!! its my preferred way to travel 😊 glad you’re taking time to do what makes you happy and full of love 💕
I love it when I see your videos in my subscription feed! You’re so precious & wholesome :)
This video just made me book mine and my husbands 4 year wedding anniversary trip at a destination with maritime museums and lighthouses! thanks for the inspiration! :)
Love this solo travel series so much and happy to see that you haven’t stopped now that you’re in a relationship (even though I love those vlogs also!!) ⛵️✨
So fun! Love the travel vlogs :)
You would love the outer banks there are a ton of lighthouses you can tour. So cool seeing a local town I venture to on your blog!!!
I absolutely love seeing how happy you look and just living your best life possible! 💕 You’re so young, and to think this is just the beginning for you. 🥰
I live about 1 hr east of there, on the barrier island near Chincoteague VA. Love, love , love spending the day in St. Michaels. Glad you were able to go there! Enjoy!
Love discovering all the cute places with you, I am a travel consultant, so fun to watch and educational 😊
St Michael's at Christmas is amazing
Hi Michel, I've just started watching your channel, I live in Annapolis and visit St Michael's sometimes, it was so fun to see St. Michael's from your perspective! I'm looking forward to seeing your Annapolis trip!
your blog is to DIE for I love all the things you do and all the happiness that comes along with it! thanks for letting us tag along ♡♡♡ also I am from Cape Cod, MA which is the best little quaint solo travel destination vacation (especially w/ Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket a hop skip and ferry away) I think you would love it! All the sailboats and oysters you could dream of lolol
Love that you went to my home state and making me homesick with all the seafood 🤤🤤
Yay! You visited my state ♥️ Baltimore is a great spot with the Inner Harbor, Cylburn Arboretum and some good eats. Hanks for showing the beauty of my state! Much love 💕
It's so fun to see a place you're so used to seen through someone else's eyes. Lived in MD my whole life near views like that and have been to this place. It's so refreshing to see someone so excited by it. While I've ever been to Texas and would love to go 🥰🥰 so cool!!
Absolutely love this vlog! The sailboat view looked stunning! & now I'm craving a lemon bar :)
Lovely clog and solo travelling is great. My Dad worked on building wooden boats for a time and there is something wonderful about them and the craftsmanship was something else.
Living all these travel vlogs vicariously through you. Thank you so much for taking us along. Your growth over the last 9 months, or so, has been so amazing, and inspiring, to watch. I get so excited when you post now and genuinely miss you when you don’t. By far my favorite channel these days. So proud of you, and so happy to see you thriving. Sending you love and hugs…from this 47 year old Bama girl.
Love the way you live your life :) Ive recently moved to a new city and am setting up my new life and it's so comforting to see your journey. It reminds me when things are hard because I know I can create something awesome ☺️ thanks for sharing ♥️♥️♥️
