Niagara...you can go on your own, no need for a tour.

In our lives, sometimes the best things don't come from planning exactly or paying a high price to have everything ready. Perhaps "traveling with a heart that wants to see, want to know, and want to try" is what will allow us to encounter the most memorable stories...

This trip to see Niagara Falls was like that for me. There was no tour, no guide, just pure heart and wanting to see the real thing for once in my life.

Starting from Queens, New York

I live in Queens, New York, a big, chaotic city that has its own charm. One day I sat and thought about what if there was a world-class waterfall just a few hundred miles away. So why can't we go? I'll wait for someone to take me. Or should I get up and go myself? The answer is clear in your heart. You can go yourself.

Travel with MegaBus, save money, no hassle

Of course, there is no car, no driver, no companion. But there is internet and a ticket booking app, MegaBus

Anyone who is not familiar with MegaBus, it is a low-cost bus service that has a lot of runs in America. Especially the line from New York toBuffalo. I'm telling you, it's not difficult to find cheap tickets. Some rounds are only $10-20. Or if you find some promotions for 1 dollar, there's

I chose to take the night bus and arrived at Buffalo in the early morning. Get the feel of riding a long car, looking at the view, sleeping, chilling in a different way

Buffalo, a quiet, warm city

Buffalo is not a fancy tourist town. But it has a simple charm. If anyone likes peace There are old wooden houses, open roads and a few cozy coffee shops to stop at. It is here

This place is famous for "Buffalo Wings" or fried chicken wings mixed with spicy sauce. I have to say thatthe original is hereyou can't try it if you come. There are many great shops to choose from. From old classics to contemporary fusion

I reserved accommodation in advance in the downtown area. The price was comfortable. And it's very convenient to travel because there are local buses that run close to the waterfall

First impression of Niagara Falls

Once you reach the area near the waterfall. The sound of the water was loud before the waterfall was even seen. When I stood at the viewpoint for the first time Let me tell you, I got goosebumps... It's more spectacular than any picture I've ever seen. both in the book in the internet or even in documentaries It is a true force of nature. And when I got to stand here by myself It's not just about traveling anymore. But it is the fulfillment of something in our hearts that we didn't know we were missing...

Luckily, I decided to reserve a place to stay near the waterfall for another two nights. So I was able to stay and watch the light show at night without having to rush back. The colorful lights that shine down on the waterfall are breathtaking. The river still flows But at the same time, it was as if he were still in the midst of that beauty. Blue, purple, red, and yellow were alternating and moving on the water curtain. It's not just a pretty picture. But it is a feeling deep inside. It's like we're standing in the middle of some magic that nature has created just for us

It's a bit of a shame that I don't have a Canadian visa. So I didn't cross to the other side where they say the corner is more beautiful. But for me, just the American side is enough. Because the picture in front of me is so beautiful that my heart trembles. Don't have to compare with anyone. It is great in its own way

Travel that is more than just sightseeing

When I had time to take the car back I sat and thought back that this trip was actually nothing complicated at all. It wasn't expensive, it wasn't difficult, it wasn't luxurious, but it turned out to bethe trip that made me feel the most satisfied in many months

It doesn't just take us to our destination, but it takes us to know ourselves more. Learned to plan, travel, and live a self-reliant life. and taking time to admire the beautiful things of the world without anything obscuring it No need to compete for photo angles with anyone. No need to rush to follow the tour queue. We can choose where to stop. No one will say how long I stand, whether I sit quietly or shout out loud.

This type of travel may not be suitable for everyone. But it's suitable for people who want to try opening the world in their own way. It may not always be easy, but I can tell you it's worth it because of some experiences. We will never gain from listening to others. But we will remember it for the rest of our lives when we can "see it for ourselves" with our own eyes

And that's it...the reason why I want to invite you to come up and make a plan, go by yourself, try it yourself, and create your own story for once.
Because sometimes...the best memories. You may start by booking just one ticket
