Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 січ 2024
- I got really bored and depressed by the boston weather so I spontaneously booked a solo trip to Bermuda. It was a short little trip but I thought I would vlog it to show how I travel as an autistic person. I learned that my vlogging skills were not very good because there is a lot that I wanted to say about autistic solo travel that I just forgot to mention. I hope to make a follow up sit down video sharing my tips and tricks for accommodating myself while traveling, keeping myself safe, and how i plan my trips. Please let me know in the comments if you would be interested in a video like that! anyway I hope you enjoy my somewhat chaotic vlog

ABOUT ME
Hello, for those of you that dont know me my name is Morgan. I am a 22 year old late diagnosed autistic ADHDer from Massachusetts. I am sharing my life on social media in an effort to advocate for autism awareness and break down the stigma surrounding autism and ADHD. I mostly talk about neurodivergent stuff but I also make lifestyle and travel content.
lol not sure what happened at the end😅 I tried to add in a new UA-cam feature and it caused a weird black screen situation. But I’m just going to leave it who cares
That’s fine! Amazing vlog Morgan!
What happend to the burnout video? It was so helpful
@@paytonward2169 I think she took it down? I don’t know
@@HumanOfficiaI it really helped me to start processing my own burnout, I wonder why she took it down
Good job! I mean leaving it as it is. Is there is sole things AuDHD people struggle with is the perfection demons and its brother the procrastination demon :)
She’s like the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen. I love how she can inspire so many - even though I don’t have autism she still gets me to understand other peoples struggles. Stay strong! You can do this!
8:01 uwu is raining today lol
thanks Morgan, I loved seeing your Bermuda adventure! The random chickens and roosters were cool!
This is really inspiring to me. You’re inspiring, and in general to be honest with you, but I love to travel, but I have really bad social anxiety, so they kind of combat each other a lot.😂 and I normally see vacation, blogs, and stuff like that of families going, or a couples going around together, and I rarely see solo vacations, and it’s nice to see some like representation of that because it kind of gives me the confidence that maybe I could do it too. Also, I love plan things so, it’s giving me a little bit of confidence to maybe plan of vacation for myself in the future. I get lost a lot though, so it have to be a smaller scale one, but I can always work my way up to a cool vacation overseas.
Morgan, I'm an autistic adult who loves solo traveling! Last month I took a spring break trip to Las Vegas and had a blast! No meltdowns or sensory overload whatsoever despite that whole city being sensory hell! I thank Stoic philosophy and being well medicated with cannabis for being able to travel like this!
you are so like me. thank you for adding your voice to the wider autism conversation so others like us can find our true selves by seeing ourselves in you. representation ftw x
I loved this video! Although I'm Canadian, I worked in Bermuda from 1997-1999 at one the hotels. I've been to all those places. Memories! The reason I went was because I could not figure my life out. Like, at all. You are exactly like me. All the micro issues and the way you explain them. If I only knew back then, why life was soooo hard.
Love watching more videos on autistic people traveling! I too am an autistic adult, starting my channel on cruising with autism!
This seems like so much fun. I hope you enjoyed ur trip. The place looks so beautiful literally.
*Keep up the amazingly fabulous work!*
loved that this just popped up in my feed. Just got back from my first solo trip since the pandemic and since I was diagnosed. For me I prefer solo, but only if the location is related to my special interest.
My fellow AuDhd solo female traveller, you're fricken awesome. Thank you for your amazing videos. Keep shining ❤
Hey Morgan! ❤❤
It's really interesting that you enjoy traveling considering it is the opposite of having a routine! I have similar traits and struggles as you so I really appreciate your videos! Please keep making them! Lots of love. 😘😘
That's so awesome! ❤
its so cool that u have grown soo fast been a subscriber since a long time
And yes, We used to take vacations over winter, starting in Sept. The guest levels would decline drastically. All the little beaches and inlets you showed. I remember. I used to those hikes once a week. It was expensive back then to though. Thanks for this. I love your channel!!
Your hair looks so nice in the humidity! Also ty for this vid, I’m autistic & adhd and have been considering a solo trip!
Thank you for sharing, hope you enjoyed your trip.❤
ur so pretty! u taught me a lot about autism and it really helped me learn how to take care of my sister. tyyyy
I also love sociology (it was my major) but traveling makes me anxious so I usually just people watch in my town but I'm going with my family to Hawaii in a couple weeks
Its so fun to watch you Morgan!! Its so interesting to me hearing about a perspective of a audtistic person. Your so amazing! and i love your content! (Ik I spelled the word wrong im so srry)
I’m gonna cry because nobody understands me like you explain it and I wish other peopel could understand myself
This reminds me so much of myself while traveling. I follow the same strategy of trying to fit everything into the early days, because I know near the end I will probably need a day of not doing a lot.
I love to travel! As long as i plan ahead and have an idea of what i'm doing while I'm there my neurodivergence is fine with it. I've travel to Wyoming twice to visit my best friend by myself and I thought it would be scary to travel alone, but I really loved it!
Finally Bermuda gets some love on YT
I would love to hear about your accommodations and stuff! Especially in terms of international travel, I've only travelled domestically but I'd love to travel overseas it just seems scary.
I do really enjoy traveling, but I can NOT do things solo. I just can't. Not sure if that is my autism or what, but I can't even eat at a restaurant or fast food place by myself. So definitely jealous.
I have started wanting to travel more ever since I studied abroad in Australia and New Zealand. And I, too love Anthropology and Sociology and learning about culture, I am in college and would like to pursue a career in those fields.
this is so cool! it's always been my dream to travel but because I've been unemployed or underemployed my whole adult life, it just hasn't happened yet. but i have a goal to go on my first solo trip by the end of the year! fingers crossed that i can make it happen!
I'd love to know your process to plan for a trip. when do you start saving or how you budget and plan what you want to see and stuff.
I plan trips by first picking a destination that has cheep flights during the time I plan on going. to check flights my two tricks are to use either skyscanner or go on to google and type in *your major city* to (example I say "boston to") and then click flights then click explore map. This allows you to see the cost of all flights leaving from your location all over the world. then once I have affordable plane tickets booked I look on apps like hostelworld and booking.com for my stay. I try to book private rooms in hostels. hostels are def the best budget friendly option but my autism cant handle sharing a room so i pay a little extra for a private room. But make sure you read reviews on hostels!! Then i research the public transportation systems in the location. If you are traveling in europe use the app Moovit because its like a GPS but it tells you what bus or trains to get on to get to your location its SUPER helpful. I also stalk google maps to see what type of restaurants are near where i am staying and i look at all the menus ahead of time to prepare myself for the food. If you take a checked bag fill it with your comfort food like crackers or granola bars or something that way you know at least you have some food you can eat. Then when I am actually there and traveling I break my activities up into half days. I either wake up early and explore all morning and decompress all after noon or sleep in and decompress in the morning and explore all afternoon. I learned that I cant be go go go and if i split days up into half days i am able to sustain the entire trip without burning out. last little tip, Tiktok is a great resource for inspiration on what to do, where to go, what to avoid, ex. There are autistic travel content creators on tiktok that give great recommendations about different locations.
OMG! We've got very similar special interests! I love biology, anthropology (therefore, ethnobiology) and travelling, and that's how I got to work with indigenous communities here in Colombia.
I also can relate a lot with your life and your struggles and you've helped me a lot explaining to my family how it is to be late-diagnosed autistic. I'm glad that you are making this content! Best wishes sincerely!
😊
omg please tell me more!!! ethnobiology sounds fascinating to me! and getting to work in Colombia with indigenous communities sounds so cool and such important work. This is the first time I have heard the term ethnobiology I am so intrigued and this is going to send me down a google search rabbit hole for sure! please info dump about your job!!!
Hi morgen I'm also autistic and I love traveling but am to terrified to go on a trip this video was very inspireing❤
Thanks for visiting my country. ❤ we don't have allot of ice cream parlours because most bermudians get ice cream from restaurants and the grocery store.
I’ve never gotten to go out of the country, I’m 20 though so I hope to someday.
I’m an autistic who really loves to travel, but unfortunately I don’t get that many opportunities to travel. I love beaches. I enjoy getting out and seeing new things. It’s a very fun time.
I don't get that many opportunities either but sense it is a special interest and it brings me so much joy, I am trying to build a lifestyle that will allow me to travel more in the future. the hard part about it is the cost of travel. I am a budget traveler that knows the tips and tricks to make travel more affordable but some of those things like bunk rooms in hostels and work exchanges are not accessible to me due to my autistic support needs. its frustrating to know that my disability makes travel more expensive for me.
it's so dumb how beautiful and sweet you are and it makes me miserable i don't know someone like you
Can you do a video about the flights and how you deal with it?
this sounds like a really cool beautiful trip! too bad everything you got was overpriced/expensive
traviling is also my intrest! (but spelling is not-)
But did you go to Morgan's Point? Probably not considering it looks like there isn't anything there except some building foundations.
coolio wowwo
I have a son and he is on the spectrum, and I would like to travel with him, but he doesn't like it he gets anxious and nervous about taking an airplane, so I am always thinking about a way how to do something like that with him.
watch out for triangles
Bravo! well . adios. 🎥
*¿Qué tan alta eres, Morgan?* 🦒✨️♥️💯
I watched a video of yours the other day where you were talking about autistic burnout. I wanted to send it to a family member, but now I can't find it. Can you or someone help me locate it? Thank you so much, your videos are a big help.
3:04 wanted to know how vax, avian flue started. Yep right their. 😮😅😂..
Travel is becoming a luxury in this economy and so these short solo trips are a great alternative.
Also, damn, Morgan, you're a stone cold fox in that bikini 🔥
Seem super independent
2:35 that will change when u get older.. ha😅😂
What will change? That she won’t take a bag with her as she gets older? 🤔
I also always refuse to take ubers. Waste of money. Anyway I am not autistic
If Morgan was not actually pretty and did not have a lovely lilting voice
that charms people into fawning over her, then what value does this video have?
... It does indeed present information about Bermuda, the scenery and the cost,
for anyone considering jumping into a solo vacation for a nice little break. "It's a little on the expensive side."
That's what this video can add to your day. That is the useful information.
Enjoy! 🤗
Plz like this comment I’m literally begging you don’t make me like it myself 😢cause that be sad
