FAQ: My husband died two years ago, and now I want to travel.\\xa0 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.

Today\\u2019s destination: Lincoln Park, Chicago

\\xa0

Less than 5 miles north of downtown Chicago is a neighborhood known for its shopping, dining, and entertainment called Lincoln Park. It\\u2019s got a little bit of everything you would like in a city, with a few good parks. It\\u2019s an authentic neighborhood in the sense that it\\u2019s 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\\u2019s free to visit? Public transportation or walking here is best because parking can be expensive and a hassle.

Two miles north of this area is Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. You may enjoy a game while visiting the area. I\\u2019d suggest it!

Today\\u2019s Mistake- Buy the unique purse when you can.

\\xa0

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.\\xa0

She believes that if you see something unique, buy it. don\\u2019t 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\\u2019s an item you want.

=Today\\u2019s Travel Advice-For one week of travel, be an extravert.\\xa0

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\\u2019re going. Trust me. Find a way to ask the person who may have the answer and go there.
