info_outlineThis is Dr. Travelbest,
In this episode: FAQ is: My husband died two years ago, and I want to travel. Is that selfish of me? Is that disrespectful?
Today’s Destination is: Lincoln Park, Chicago
Today’s Mistake- Buy the unique purse when you can.
Travel Advice: For one week of travel, be an extravert.
FAQ: My husband died two years ago, and now I want to travel. Is that selfish of me? Is that disrespectful?
Answer: No. Your husband would have liked you to travel. Please just go ahead as long as you can afford it. Some travels cost more than others. I did hear about some single women and couples who decided to live on a cruise ship. For some people, living on a ship is cheaper than having a mortgage.
See the show notes for examples:
Today’s destination: Lincoln Park, Chicago
Less than 5 miles north of downtown Chicago is a neighborhood known for its shopping, dining, and entertainment called Lincoln Park. It’s got a little bit of everything you would like in a city, with a few good parks. It’s an authentic neighborhood in the sense that it’s got a mix of different and diverse community members while being a place to enjoy,
The Lincoln park zoo has children who love animals, adults who wander and soak it in, and nature is the priority. This is the best of what a zoo can offer. Did I mention that it’s free to visit? Public transportation or walking here is best because parking can be expensive and a hassle.
The closest subway stations to Lincoln Park Zoo are: Clark & Armitage (North) is 25 yards away, 1 min walk. Armitage & Clark (East) is 43 yards away, 1 min walk. Stockton & Armitage (South) is 150 yards away, 2 min walk.
Two miles north of this area is Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. You may enjoy a game while visiting the area. I’d suggest it!
Today’s Mistake- Buy the unique purse when you can.
My friend Carol is sorry she did not purchase that purse on her vacation. she regrets not buying it because she never found one like it again.
She believes that if you see something unique, buy it. don’t always expect to find another one like it toward the end of your trip. My advice usually is to wait and get it later, but in this example, it would make more sense to buy now and not worry about getting it later if it’s an item you want.
=Today’s Travel Advice-For one week of travel, be an extravert.
You may naturally be an introvert and want to avoid meeting new people. However, if you want to travel, especially solo, you must adjust your personality to be more outgoing and friendly. This will help you get where you’re going. Trust me. Find a way to ask the person who may have the answer and go there.
