what traveling solo to London is really like ⭐️🇬🇧

Hiii! This week I took myself on my first ever solo trip 🎧💓 to London!! (during Fashion Week). I stayed in a tiny pod (think Japanese sleep capsule energy), ran around London with my suitcase getting to fittings, shows, influencer events, and also made time for some very ⭐️main character⭐️ solo tourist moments. I visited Notting Hill, the Big Ben, ate banana bread matcha at Blank Street, went to the National Gallery, and had a very emotional moment standing by the London Eye. I met up with internet friends, worked on my small biz (The Tote Library), and somehow managed to squeeze in some quiet journaling time with coffee in Chelsea. This vlog means a lot to me. It’s the 3rd episode of my 154 Days to Fix My Life series 🧸 and it’s the most emotional one yet. If you’ve been scared of going somewhere on your own, I hope this inspires you to take that trip 🫶 insta: @its.catubela tiktok: @its.catiwalk ⏱️ CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS DAY 1 — sick girl fashion week begins 00:00 – intro 00:47 – getting sick 4 days before the trip 01:04 – solo trip + sleeping pod experience 01:16 – meeting EM, a former customer turned influencer 01:42 – behind on work, TTL collection update, small biz chaos 02:11 – fittings, fashion shows, interviews, influencer mode on 02:33 – PR house visit & fashion week outfits 03:01 – “i’m so hungry” era 03:50 – exhausted at Blank Street, pre-creator hub event 04:25 – end of day 1 DAY 2 — solo tourist day in london 04:46 – exploring Notting Hill, Big Ben & Portobello 05:30 – opening PR packages & sunglasses dilemma 06:36 – emotional moment at the London Eye 07:24 – migraine, matcha & moving forward anyway DAY 3 — fashion shows & creative burnout 08:53 – start of day 3 08:55 – yesterday’s rain, last-minute fashion show 09:18 – the guilt of “wasting the morning” 09:48 – coffee, editing & shows with new friend Issy DAY 4 — connections & slow sunday 11:32 – peaceful sunday, outfit check & scandi coffee 12:26 – journaling, walking to Hyde Park, coffee in Chelsea 12:54 – meeting Rosie, our girlhood hotel night DAY 5 — the last day 14:29 – eating bagels in a graveyard (chaotic energy) 15:40 – final reflections at the national gallery 16:43 – goodbye london 💌 This video is for you if: • you're in your 20s trying to take your life back • you’ve been craving a solo trip but you’re scared to do it • you romanticize slow travel, fashion, and friendship • you want to see what it’s really like behind the scenes of fashion week • you’re building something: a brand, a new chapter, a new you
