Ruby, I am so glad that you had such a good time in and around Boston! You did choose a wonderful season to come to New England. I know that you are keen on Dickinson, Poe, and other American writers, so you chose an appropriate destination for a first visit. I am also glad that you have begun your travels at a young age. How brave and exciting! I am an American, and it took me until my sixties (last month, in fact) to visit England (also on my own), where I've wanted to travel most of my life, and where I very much hope to visit again. I spent time in London, Oxford, and Bath and enjoyed every minute of it. Climbing to the top of Primrose hill on a quiet morning; visiting the Vale of the White Horse in Uffington; pilgrimages to The Kilns and to Tolkien's grave; strolling the silent quadrangles of Magdelene College on a Sunday morning; getting a borrower's card at the British Library; touring the Roman baths at Aqua Sulis; catching a play with David Tennant on the spur of the moment; Much Ado at the Globe -- oh and visiting Daunt Books on your recommendation -- were some of the many highlights. Come back to the States any time, Steve Delchamps
As a Brit it makes me so happy to hear that you enjoyed visiting England ❤ do come again, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! I really want to go to Oxford for a few days with my family at some point
I must say I adore these longer travelling videos that give the ‘vagabond reader’ vibes. I’ve been watching ruby since my fourth form and am almost over with a levels. The format of the videos after your uni journey have such a ‘ruby’ essence to them which makes me really happy because they’re true to how u are. The Scotland vlog is one of my favourite videos of ruby’s of all time and this is a quick favourite now too!!
as someone who’s lived in new england all their life, i always feel so lucky whenever fall comes around and the area’s in its full glory… so glad you got to see it!
I admire your courage to travel alone. I don’t think I could ever do that, I get so anxious by myself in an unfamiliar environment. This vlog is lovely, the scenery is beautiful 🤩
I feel like that too and I suffer with anxiety as well, but I hope one day I do so, because I want to get out of my comfort zone and try to face these fears! I hope we get to do that one day mate.
It can be part of the exhiliration of going alone - that thrill of "here I am on my own two feet, alone". It will be very rewarding if you take that step. Being nervous doesn't mean it's the wrong choice, or that you're not necessarily ready, because we're often nervous the first time we do something.
I’ve done it a few times for work and didn’t like it. I like being alone but not for ex eating alone. And i think it’s nice when i have someone with me to share things with.
So glad you got here before all the leaves fell. Sadly you missed the peak of leaf season when the colors were even more incredible, but glad you caught the tail end!
Hi, Ruby! I'm an English literature and composition teacher in the southeastern U.S. I just found your channel and really enjoy it! I'm from Boston, and I miss it every day. I can't wait to watch the entire video once my school day is over!
I found myself in Boston for just a couple of days this August. It was incredibly misty, and it was the first time I found myself enjoying rain. I loved watching tall buildings disappear into a cloud above them. It was almost the most English of cities, in a way. There was just a great comfort to be felt as I was walking around. Glad you got to visit.
First off Ruby, welcome to America! we are most fortunate to have you. This video was exceptional. Your narrative and editing skills came through brilliantly! I have lived in America my whole life, yet it is you who pointed out the natural beauty of Massachusetts. I'm looking forward to seeing your next video. I do hope you get to see Orchard House. Louisa May Alcott has always been one of my favorite authors as a kid. Have fun and safe travels!
I've never commented on a video before, but have watched your channel for years now. And as someone who lives in the Boston area, I can't begin to describe how wonderful it was to watch this video. I'm glad you're as much in love with Boston as I am, and appreciating all the wonderful things the city and surrounding areas have to offer. This just renewed my appreciation for where I live. Thank you for your beautiful content. ❤
I loved the fact that you shared with us that you were scared the night before leaving but still went on the trip. I go through the same feeling when travelling alone ❤
Nice video! I think solo travel is always a nice way to grow more confident, no matter where you go. If it makes you nervous, it's probably a sign you should do it.
It's cool to see you're in America and travelling alone and enjoying yourself! From another female who travels the U.S. alone for a living, just always be aware of your surroundings, which it looks like you are. Having that whole beach to yourself looked amazing! And your room looked so nice too. I'm so glad you enjoyed Boston. Safe travels!
I live and work in the Boston area, and you’ve captured our city so beautifully! This truly is the best time of year to visit New England. We actually have been in a pretty serious drought since spring, so it was ironic that you visited during the rainiest week we’d had in months. There’s so much more to see! If you really like the city, there are SO many colleges and universities where you could do graduate work. Best of luck in your next adventures solo traveling in the US!
Hopefully she can visit with more time next time, and maybe venture a bit further out from the immediate Boston area. The rain was such a nice bonus for her! I love grey, rainy days…!
All I can say is that I love this video especially the park and the statue of Mr Poe love it prayers and thoughts for you and your family love you and your amazing channel love your family friend John ❤❤❤
I'm so glad you had a wonderful trip to Boston, Ruby and it was lovely to watch your appreciation. of the autumnal weather and scenery in the park. But I wouldn't want your young and impressionable fan base who are interested in visiting Boston to see literary sites to be mislead by the suggestion that there isn't much to see beyond the statue of Poe and a few bookshops. Boston has one of the richest literary heritages in the USA - the public library is both a stunning (and aesthetic!) building and an historical treasure trove for anyone seriously interested in literary history; there are many possible walking tours around districts such as Beacon Hill which visit homes of many famous writers and poets such as Thoreau, Hawthorne, Henry James, Robert Frost, Sylvia Plath and, of course, Louisa May Alcott. [ironically, as you know, Poe was born in Boston but left as a toddler and his writing barely influenced by the city]. As in London, Charles Dickens got around and stayed at several addresses in Boston during his American tours, but you can see his chair and the mirror in front of which he rehearsed his public readings at the Omni Parker Hotel. I'm sure there are many other literary sites I have missed.
I am a bit confused, though, because it sort of feels like the prices aren't that different once the exchange rate is taken into account? 17 USD is really not that much more than 12 GBP, whereas Ruby seemed shocked that a book that she said would be £12 at home was $17 there.
Dear Ruby I had a panic attack yesterday and got quite scared to go to sleep, I put on this video and it instantly calmed my nervous system down. I had vivid dreams of those places you visited throughout the night and it was the best kind of sleep I had in a long time - thank you for creating video art that is gentle, attentive and calming !🍂
Hi Ruby. I love your videos! When you are in windy places are you please able to add text to the video as I couldn’t hear what you where saying while you were on the beach in Ipswich? ❤️
Ruby, if you're going to be in the Amherst area, check out the neighboring town of Northampton! Smith College is there and also has an excellent art museum and there is an amazing ice cream chain with a store there called Herrell's (which is right next to a used bookstore)! Also, be sure to check out some of the hiking spots in the area, as Western Mass is known for them (in Amherst you can walk around Puffer's Pond)! You are in for such a treat
By not reading or acknowledging the comments of her followers you mean? But for you guys she wouldn’t have a RUclips channel. She has the means and support to live the dreamy very privileged comfortable protective bubble she lives in far far away from the every day person in the street she and you label her as different for a good reason.
I’ve watched you Ruby since you were sharing your exams at school. You gave me great advice for my daughter and I’ve been a fan since. It’s so nice to see you come into your own but kept your core values. I’m so excited for you x
Aw, I love how you captured my home state. I grew up near Ipswich and went to college in Amherst, so this is all lovely to watch through someone else’s eyes. When you come back to Boston, consider timing it with the Boston Book Festival. It’s a great day of author panels and intellectual energy. Cheers
Absolutely beautiful video! I love hearing you read your poetry and journal entries and talk about literature. You have so much joy in this video, and it's wonderful to see!
I love the smell of nature when it rains and the colours that pop. The fog can give off an eerie vibe which I enjoy. Boston must’ve been an amazing place to visit.
I sympathized with this video a lot. I’m moving to Korea in 3 months and I’m terrified. All by myself. For the first time ever. I’m convinced something is gonna go wrong
You will be so okay the moment you get on the plane and are through border control. I think it’s scarier somehow when you know that you can decide not to go. It’s the freedom which is scary. But it’s so cool what you’re doing and I wish you the best of luck!!!
This was such an aesthetic vlog! I loved it, it really helped me relax. If you come back to America, you should go to California and visit the Huntington Garden and libraries. It’s one of my personal favourite places to go, just so many gardens, many museums, a tea room, a cafe, and a really pretty store with books and all types of literature/science/history/fairytale stuff. This vlog really makes me want to go to Boston now though haha.
I went to Harvard in the late 80s, and there were many marvelous bookstores then. Wordsworth, Schoenhof’s (foreign languages, enormous selection, including 700 languages in its learning section-closed in 2017 after 161 years in business,) The Grolier Poetry Bookshop-still there, readings (online as well, although they are ticketed-it’s not easy to survive as a poetry bookshop) and many more. The Coop bookstore is good-it’s the university bookstore, unfortunately taken over by Barnes & Noble, but still enormous. Actually, most of the books are in the Harvard Library System; there used to be around 90 university libraries. Each upper class house has its own study library. Also, books in the US are expensive vs the British Pound, because the British Pound is unusually weak against the American Dollar. Currently $1 = .£ 0.9, which is historically very low. More typically, $1.25 = 1 £, so your $17 book would have been closer to £13. The British pound has been as high as $1.60 = £1. In a word, Brexit -> economic chaos (separation from EU has not been beneficial overall, especially as all imports are taxed now.) Anyways, missing QIIR, the end of an era. 🇬🇧🏴
What a brilliant adventure. Loved the video- your videos have inspired me to read so much more again, and this comes from an ex-bookseller and ex-bookshop owner! So, thank you and keep on being Ruby!
Hi Ruby, Hope you are well. Just wondering whether you are planning on releasing a yearly planner for 2023. I love my 2022 pumpkin productivity planner so much 😅
i watched your video to start off my morning and it genuinely set the precedent for the rest of my day. i felt so calm, refreshed, and inspired. i live in cambridge and work and study in boston and this was a much needed reminder of how beautiful this place is, especially from the perspective of an outsider. thank you so much for sharing your trip, this video really moved and inspired me ❤️ you really are a breath of fresh air!
Ruby I am following you from more than 3 years...and yess u have something special that others didn't ....truly ♥️ u from my heart...I will recommend you visiting Turkey it's truly yours type...
I understand Ruby's enthusiasm in going to the iconic places where her favorite writers lived and wrote...but I also worry about her going on walks all by herself. Stay safe and be careful young Ruby, we enjoy your vlogs and live vicariously thru them, but being so young, it would be so much better, I dare say to have your dad or mum with you. God Bless, you are such a sweet girl.
girl you gotta use airpods or something when you're not doing voiceovers :) anyways welcome to america it's pretty underwhelming after you know about our sociopolitical climate which we are now world famous for.
It sounds like you had such a lovely trip Ruby! Little Women is my favorite book of all time, and ever since the 2019 film came out I’ve wanted to visit Boston, so it was amazing to see you visiting some of the locations. The beach looked so ethereal, peaceful, and special, and the Crane Estate was absolutely gorgeous. The leaves and nature are stunning! I hope you have a great rest of your trip and safe travels! Can’t wait to see your work with the Emily Dickinson muesem. That’s so exciting! Thank you for the lovely content; you’re always so calming to watch! 📚🍂
Ruby❤ I’m really impressed how you’re trying different things in different places, pushing your limits! I’ve recently started watching your videos and they not only inspired me, but also i was extremely glad to find somebody similar to me😊 I hope you’re doing well!
I always love your videos Ruby. They're so comforting to watch after long uni days ❤️ I just got your tea in the mail and it's delicious! How do you recommend taking it? x
ruby!!! i've been following you since 2017, and you've finally made it to my home state! YAY! so so happy that you loved boston; we were incredibly lucky to have you here :)
Such a lovely vlog! Did you see the statue of the ducks in the park? It's based on a children's book "Make Way for Ducklings" by Robert McCloskey. I loved all the autumnal colors you described so well.
Your trip was perfect if you try to target literary vibes but you would probably also like Boston Public Library. I can totally see you enjoying libraries around the world (especially the Harry Potter style ones).
So exciting that you're in the States for a few weeks! I've never been. I think it's great that you're doing it. Your videos are always wonderfully curated, I don't think people realise how much effort it takes, and I'm not sure why some commenters feel the need to be mean x
Just loved this! I’m here in Virginia- my heritage from Ireland and England and Scotland all arrived in Boston. It is one of my favorite coyotes. So enjoy following your travels.
Ruby, I am so so proud of you. I know I don't know you but I feel emotional watching this. This is my dream trip to go on after university, especially for my writing degree. I think this is my favourite video you have ever uploaded.🥺❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed your time here in Boston. The Public Garden is also one of my most favorite spots. I visited there in October 2019 when I decided to move here. Fall is truly magical. You're going to love western Massachusetts next!
Very charming vlog, well done - I’m glad you enjoyed your first week. I was feeling bad for the rain but it did give you the fog, and added color as you said - looking forward to the next installment in Amherst, having seen glimpses on IG - take care and thanks for these charming videos
hey Ruby! maybe you won't read this but this vlog was amazing. I was born in Boston and lived there for my childhood. then I studied there for a year and all the sceneries you show remind me of memories I spent there. Now that I'm far from the city I was born in, I really miss it with affection, so thank you, because this was a way to travel back to it for some minutes. :) fun fact: in the vlog I could even spot my old school and it made me smile, thank you!
Hi Ruby! I don't know if you have already been but you should definitely visit Prague. The architecture is stunning, the city has this undescribable spirit and very very deep history. I think you'd love it here!:)
Oh Ruby. So glad you visited my area and reminded me of the beauty I see every day when I commute to Cambridge. But you really must visit Concord. When I heard in your first video that you were in MA, I thought, "surely she is in Concord." You will love it. I still do after 25 years of living here. I long to see England and all its beauty, but I thank you again for making me lift my eyes to the sky on my morning commute.
Well done, Ruby! Travelling by yourself can be a scary thing - especially when you are visiting another country. It looks like a lovely trip. I hope you enjoyed our country!
What is beautiful, cozy little video! Boston in the Fall looks like a dream, I'm glad you were able to enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing your other adventures in America!
Siempre quise ir a Nueva Inglaterra; siempre quise ir a Boston. Con Ruby Granger lo he conseguido. Hacia tiempo que no veía un documento tan sencillo, directo, humano y bello. No es fácil conseguirlo, pero Ruby Granger llega a un equilibrio en sus reportajes donde información y poesía llegan a ser la misma cosa, el mismo tono, el mismo color.
I loved this video. I've been to Boston twice, once as part of a Trek America tour and again on my honeymoon. It's one of my favourite places, especially in Autumn 🍂
Hi Ruby what is your plan for the rest of your trip? Are you visiting any other cities? Would love to hear more about your travel plans. What made you want to visit etc?
Your videos are so wonderful!! And this one - so lovely. But your video title should say Alone in the United States of America. I know everyone calls it America but really thats a misnomer. America is a continent stretching from sub-continents north to south. Massachusetts is beautiful in Autumn, thanks for this video!
such a fantastic video ruby, boston is my favorite big city here in the states! i’m happy that you ventured outside the city to the north shore (ipswich is gorgeous, i adore the crane estate). i’m planning on moving to boston from california in a couple of years once i graduate from university! glad you enjoyed your time here :)
Ruby, this is such a beautiful video and you seem so happy ❤ going on your own is very brave but I imagine very fulfilling and you were able to get a more memorable and personal experience that way. I've never been to Boston (or Massachusetts for that matter) but I live on that side of the continent lol but in Canada so the colours look similar to what we're experiencing right now, so gorgeous and where you visited looks incredibly magical 🍁🍂
Hey Ruby! Just wanted to let you know that you're succchhhh an inspiring person for literally all of us from unmotivated community (lol). Whenever I start procrastinating, i just come to your channel and binge watch your videos to feel motivated again! Your whole life seems so aesthetic and calming that it makes me wanna just move in countryside. Just keep going, good luck💞
I have to agree with what someone already said here - I admire you, Ruby, for your courage to travel alone so for away from your homeland. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Based solely on the excerpts of your writing shared here, and the way you describe where you're at, I cannot wait to read your book. You put things so beautifully.
I felt like traveling with you 👑Here's how to have a magical, good day Ruby ,Because your smile makes me happy and please can there be more videos like this 🍁🖤
Ruby is so different to all the other youtubers on here. It's a breath of fresh air.
Ah that’s very sweet of you to say! I do love that every single person on this app has a slightly different story and different perspective to share 🤍
@@Coffee_Is_Life_2010 I'm a doctor - good luck in your journey 😊
@@YourTrueShelf thanks
Indeed, Ruby is the type of role model that young people need today. Education and a future should be the first priority.
I totally (!!) agree. I’m ten years older but can relate so so much. I love her content.
Ruby just brought the "doing stuff alone to show you it can be nice so you won't feel bad and anxious to do it alone too" genre to the next level.
Ruby, I am so glad that you had such a good time in and around Boston! You did choose a wonderful season to come to New England. I know that you are keen on Dickinson, Poe, and other American writers, so you chose an appropriate destination for a first visit.
I am also glad that you have begun your travels at a young age. How brave and exciting! I am an American, and it took me until my sixties (last month, in fact) to visit England (also on my own), where I've wanted to travel most of my life, and where I very much hope to visit again.
I spent time in London, Oxford, and Bath and enjoyed every minute of it. Climbing to the top of Primrose hill on a quiet morning; visiting the Vale of the White Horse in Uffington; pilgrimages to The Kilns and to Tolkien's grave; strolling the silent quadrangles of Magdelene College on a Sunday morning; getting a borrower's card at the British Library; touring the Roman baths at Aqua Sulis; catching a play with David Tennant on the spur of the moment; Much Ado at the Globe -- oh and visiting Daunt Books on your recommendation -- were some of the many highlights.
Come back to the States any time,
Steve Delchamps
Ohhh such a nice comment to see✨️
Sir,i love the way that you described your feelings clearly.
Stay safe.
I am so glad that you visited Bath as I live in Bath 😊
As a Brit it makes me so happy to hear that you enjoyed visiting England ❤ do come again, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! I really want to go to Oxford for a few days with my family at some point
I must say I adore these longer travelling videos that give the ‘vagabond reader’ vibes. I’ve been watching ruby since my fourth form and am almost over with a levels.

I admire your courage to travel alone. I don’t think I could ever do that, I get so anxious by myself in an unfamiliar environment. This vlog is lovely, the scenery is beautiful 🤩
I've learned the hard way that if you're going to wait for other people every time you want to do something/go somewhere, you'll often miss out.
I’m a woman who has traveled solo a lot. It’s great when you get used to it!
I feel like that too and I suffer with anxiety as well, but I hope one day I do so, because I want to get out of my comfort zone and try to face these fears! I hope we get to do that one day mate.
It can be part of the exhiliration of going alone - that thrill of "here I am on my own two feet, alone". It will be very rewarding if you take that step.

So glad you got here before all the leaves fell. Sadly you missed the peak of leaf season when the colors were even more incredible, but glad you caught the tail end!
Hi, Ruby! I'm an English literature and composition teacher in the southeastern U.S. I just found your channel and really enjoy it! I'm from Boston, and I miss it every day. I can't wait to watch the entire video once my school day is over!
Fellow English lit teacher and former Boston resident! *tinks teacup*

I loved watching tall buildings disappear into a cloud above them. It was almost the most English of cities, in a way. There was just a great comfort to be felt as I was walking around. Glad you got to visit.
Yes! I love how the tops of buildings faded into invisibility! And I agree that it’s a very European city x

Yeah have fun paying all those taxes up there too.

PS Crane House looked very atmospheric in your footage.
It's not unusual to spend $20 on a new book, that's why used bookstores are soooo needed here in the US!
I am a bit confused, though, because it sort of feels like the prices aren't that different once the exchange rate is taken into account? 17 USD is really not that much more than 12 GBP, whereas Ruby seemed shocked that a book that she said would be £12 at home was $17 there.
I wish I could be like you Ruby...I have been dreaming of traveling since my childhood but never got the opportunity to go abroad....
Dear Ruby I had a panic attack yesterday and got quite scared to go to sleep, I put on this video and it instantly calmed my nervous system down. I had vivid dreams of those places you visited throughout the night and it was the best kind of sleep I had in a long time - thank you for creating video art that is gentle, attentive and calming !🍂
What about second hand bookshops for cheaper books? Being sustainable and supporting small businesses and that
Hi Ruby. I love your videos! When you are in windy places are you please able to add text to the video as I couldn’t hear what you where saying while you were on the beach in Ipswich? ❤️
Ruby you must visit the Boston Athenaeum! It’s one block over from the Common! You will for sure regret not going!❤❤
Ruby, if you're going to be in the Amherst area, check out the neighboring town of Northampton! Smith College is there and also has an excellent art museum and there is an amazing ice cream chain with a store there called Herrell's (which is right next to a used bookstore)! Also, be sure to check out some of the hiking spots in the area, as Western Mass is known for them (in Amherst you can walk around Puffer's Pond)! You are in for such a treat
Ruby is my everyday inspiration. I literally wish to be her now and when I grow.. such a role model.
RUBY ALWAYS KNOWS HOW TO MAKE OUR DAY!!!!
Always ❤
ITS A PARK. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. 😐
By not reading or acknowledging the comments of her followers you mean? But for you guys she wouldn’t have a RUclips channel. She has the means and support to live the dreamy very privileged comfortable protective bubble she lives in far far away from the every day person in the street she and you label her as different for a good reason.

Lovely video, enjoyed seeing your time in Boston and Ipswich.

this video was beautiful to watch! i hope to visit boston one day too!
Absolutely beautiful video! I love hearing you read your poetry and journal entries and talk about literature. You have so much joy in this video, and it's wonderful to see!
Ipswich beach makes me think of Mr. Poe telling the Baudelaire Children of their parents death
I love the smell of nature when it rains and the colours that pop. The fog can give off an eerie vibe which I enjoy. Boston must’ve been an amazing place to visit.
I sympathized with this video a lot. I’m moving to Korea in 3 months and I’m terrified. All by myself. For the first time ever. I’m convinced something is gonna go wrong
You will be so okay the moment you get on the plane and are through border control. I think it’s scarier somehow when you know that you can decide not to go. It’s the freedom which is scary. But it’s so cool what you’re doing and I wish you the best of luck!!!
But so many things will go right!
You’ll meet amazing people and you will make beautiful memories!!!
This was such an aesthetic vlog! I loved it, it really helped me relax. If you come back to America, you should go to California and visit the Huntington Garden and libraries.

power to you, Ruby, for going on your own and having the kind of trip you want to have.

Also, books in the US are expensive vs the British Pound, because the British Pound is unusually weak against the American Dollar. Currently $1 = .£ 0.9, which is historically very low. More typically, $1.25 = 1 £, so your $17 book would have been closer to £13. The British pound has been as high as $1.60 = £1. In a word, Brexit -> economic chaos (separation from EU has not been beneficial overall, especially as all imports are taxed now.) Anyways, missing QIIR, the end of an era. 🇬🇧🏴
Watching Ruby's vlog always gives me that kind of calmness
What a brilliant adventure. Loved the video- your videos have inspired me to read so much more again, and this comes from an ex-bookseller and ex-bookshop owner! So, thank you and keep on being Ruby!
Ahh Emm! This is so so wonderful to hear 🥺🥰

The Harvard Art Museum is a real gem off the Boston tourist path. I am so glad you found it too!
17 dollars is 13 pounds there isnt that big of a difference.
Hi Ruby,
Hope you are well.
Just wondering whether you are planning on releasing a yearly planner for 2023.
I love my 2022 pumpkin productivity planner so much
😅
i watched your video to start off my morning and it genuinely set the precedent for the rest of my day. i felt so calm, refreshed, and inspired. i live in cambridge and work and study in boston and this was a much needed reminder of how beautiful this place is, especially from the perspective of an outsider. thank you so much for sharing your trip, this video really moved and inspired me ❤️ you really are a breath of fresh air!
Ruby I am following you from more than 3 years...and yess u have something special that others didn't ....truly ♥️ u from my heart...I will recommend you visiting Turkey it's truly yours type...
Thank you so much, Ruby! The last few vlogs have been incredible, can't wait to see more!
I understand Ruby's enthusiasm in going to the iconic places where her favorite writers lived and wrote...but I also worry about her going on walks all by herself. Stay safe and be careful young Ruby, we enjoy your vlogs and live vicariously thru them, but being so young, it would be so much better, I dare say to have your dad or mum with you. God Bless, you are such a sweet girl.
girl you gotta use airpods or something when you're not doing voiceovers :) anyways welcome to america it's pretty underwhelming after you know about our sociopolitical climate which we are now world famous for.
It sounds like you had such a lovely trip Ruby! Little Women is my favorite book of all time, and ever since the 2019 film came out I’ve wanted to visit Boston, so it was amazing to see you visiting some of the locations. The beach looked so ethereal, peaceful, and special, and the Crane Estate was absolutely gorgeous. The leaves and nature are stunning! I hope you have a great rest of your trip and safe travels! Can’t wait to see your work with the Emily Dickinson muesem. That’s so exciting! Thank you for the lovely content; you’re always so calming to watch! 📚🍂
Ruby❤ I’m really impressed how you’re trying different things in different places, pushing your limits!
I’ve recently started watching your videos and they not only inspired me, but also i was extremely glad to find somebody similar to me😊
I hope you’re doing well!
There is nothing more comforting than drinking a cup of tea, eating a fresh pastry and watching ruby frolic about Boston 💗
I ❤ your channel! FYI: $17.00 equals £14.74 according to my currency exchange calculator on this day. 😉📚
I always love your videos Ruby. They're so comforting to watch after long uni days ❤️ I just got your tea in the mail and it's delicious! How do you recommend taking it? x
Boston looks surprisingly European, not at all the image I have of USA's cities.
I thought the same!
ruby!!! i've been following you since 2017, and you've finally made it to my home state! YAY! so so happy that you loved boston; we were incredibly lucky to have you here :)
Love the adventures, love the scenery, the walks, the reads, everything is just so refreshing and having the vibes of what a travel tour should be! 😇
Such a lovely vlog! Did you see the statue of the ducks in the park? It's based on a children's book "Make Way for Ducklings" by Robert McCloskey. I loved all the autumnal colors you described so well.
Yes! I loved the statue though I’d never actually read the story!
Your trip was perfect if you try to target literary vibes but you would probably also like Boston Public Library. I can totally see you enjoying libraries around the world (especially the Harry Potter style ones).
So exciting that you're in the States for a few weeks! I've never been. I think it's great that you're doing it. Your videos are always wonderfully curated, I don't think people realise how much effort it takes, and I'm not sure why some commenters feel the need to be mean x
Hi beautiful you are looking gorgeous awesome work thanks for sharing ❤💖💝💝💜💜💟💞💜💝💗💖❤👍👍👏💕💖❤❤💝
Just loved this! I’m here in Virginia- my heritage from Ireland and England and Scotland all arrived in Boston. It is one of my favorite coyotes. So enjoy following your travels.
I loved hearing you read your poem! Safe travels and I so enjoyed this travel video!
Your poetic musings are so beautiful; but need to be slowed down in pace for their sweetness to be appreciated. Xx
Thank you for the feedback and your kind words!
Ruby, I am so so proud of you. I know I don't know you but I feel emotional watching this. This is my dream trip to go on after university, especially for my writing degree. I think this is my favourite video you have ever uploaded.🥺❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed your time here in Boston. The Public Garden is also one of my most favorite spots. I visited there in October 2019 when I decided to move here. Fall is truly magical. You're going to love western Massachusetts next!
This is so therapeutic, after feeling immense burnout at school, this video comforted me. Thank you, Ruby!
I had no idea books were more expensive in America than in the UK. I always thought on the UK they would be more expensive. Interesting 🧐
Oh wow, Boston looks stunning! What an amazing trip. Can’t wait to see what you make of Amherst 💚
Words can’t describe how much I love your videos❤
Ah! This vlog made me so happy! I’ve never been up in Boston and Concord, but have always wanted to. All those Little Women locations!! ❤️
Very charming vlog, well done - I’m glad you enjoyed your first week. I was feeling bad for the rain but it did give you the fog, and added color as you said - looking forward to the next installment in Amherst, having seen glimpses on IG - take care and thanks for these charming videos
You are just so endearing. Thank you for wholesome, inspiring content
I'm in Boston for an exchange semester atm. You have given me so many ideas on places to visit! 🙂
Ahh I’m so pleased!! I hope this semester goes well!
I'm from India, and it's almost 11pm, and your video is thehighlight of my day. Thank you so much for inspiring me!!
ahh you're so lovely! I'm so pleased you liked the video and I hope you had a good night's sleep (by the time you read this!)
The cinematography of you on the beach, the distant sea, the nebulous horizon and your sharp silhouette, resembles a Romantic Painting
hey Ruby! maybe you won't read this but this vlog was amazing. I was born in Boston and lived there for my childhood. then I studied there for a year and all the sceneries you show remind me of memories I spent there. Now that I'm far from the city I was born in, I really miss it with affection, so thank you, because this was a way to travel back to it for some minutes. :)
fun fact: in the vlog I could even spot my old school and it made me smile, thank you!
Hi Ruby! I don't know if you have already been but you should definitely visit Prague. The architecture is stunning, the city has this undescribable spirit and very very deep history. I think you'd love it here!:)
Oh Ruby. So glad you visited my area and reminded me of the beauty I see every day when I commute to Cambridge. But you really must visit Concord. When I heard in your first video that you were in MA, I thought, "surely she is in Concord." You will love it. I still do after 25 years of living here. I long to see England and all its beauty, but I thank you again for making me lift my eyes to the sky on my morning commute.
Ruby what a wonderful adventure! I’m so loving seeing the U.S. through the lens of your camera! Stay safe & enjoy every second....❤️🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺
Well done, Ruby! Travelling by yourself can be a scary thing - especially when you are visiting another country. It looks like a lovely trip. I hope you enjoyed our country!
What is beautiful, cozy little video! Boston in the Fall looks like a dream, I'm glad you were able to enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing your other adventures in America!
Siempre quise ir a Nueva Inglaterra; siempre quise ir a Boston. Con Ruby Granger lo he conseguido. Hacia tiempo que no veía un documento tan sencillo, directo, humano y bello. No es fácil conseguirlo, pero Ruby Granger llega a un equilibrio en sus reportajes donde información y poesía llegan a ser la misma cosa, el mismo tono, el mismo color.
I loved this video. I've been to Boston twice, once as part of a Trek America tour and again on my honeymoon. It's one of my favourite places, especially in Autumn 🍂
Ruby, this is so incredible! I’m so happy for you. Also yes…books are so expensive 😫
Hi Ruby what is your plan for the rest of your trip? Are you visiting any other cities? Would love to hear more about your travel plans. What made you want to visit etc?
Such a beautiful city and equally beautiful vlog. Wish to visit Boston someday 💓💓
Your videos are so wonderful!! And this one - so lovely. But your video title should say Alone in the United States of America. I know everyone calls it America but really thats a misnomer. America is a continent stretching from sub-continents north to south. Massachusetts is beautiful in Autumn, thanks for this video!
You’ll have to follow Jack Kerouac’s route to Denver next
such a fantastic video ruby, boston is my favorite big city here in the states! i’m happy that you ventured outside the city to the north shore (ipswich is gorgeous, i adore the crane estate). i’m planning on moving to boston from california in a couple of years once i graduate from university! glad you enjoyed your time here :)
Ruby, this is such a beautiful video and you seem so happy ❤ going on your own is very brave but I imagine very fulfilling and you were able to get a more memorable and personal experience that way. I've never been to Boston (or Massachusetts for that matter) but I live on that side of the continent lol but in Canada so the colours look similar to what we're experiencing right now, so gorgeous and where you visited looks incredibly magical 🍁🍂
One of my favorite all-time Ruby videos!!! Can't wait to see the Amherst video :)
Hey Ruby! Just wanted to let you know that you're succchhhh an inspiring person for literally all of us from unmotivated community (lol). Whenever I start procrastinating, i just come to your channel and binge watch your videos to feel motivated again! Your whole life seems so aesthetic and calming that it makes me wanna just move in countryside. Just keep going, good luck💞
I have to agree with what someone already said here - I admire you, Ruby, for your courage to travel alone so for away from your homeland. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Based solely on the excerpts of your writing shared here, and the way you describe where you're at, I cannot wait to read your book. You put things so beautifully.
I love the fact that this has a "home from home" feeling to it....the parks, the rain and the squirels, all this seems sooo familiar..so UK ish...
Wow that’s an incredible poem! I think you should publish it!
Welcome, hope you visit new york city while here. May God be with you and bless you as you travel.
I felt like traveling with you 👑Here's how to have a magical, good day Ruby ,Because your smile makes me happy and please can there be more videos like this 🍁🖤
I watched a lot of videos in this channel, but this last one is the best for me, there is something different about it, it is charming.
