New Orleans Solo Trip: 3 Days of Gothic Glamour

If you were once an emo, vampire-obsessed teenager who coped by watching Southern Gothic cinema… only to become a witchy woman who loves colour, believes in her own magic, and lives to explore — this vlog is for you. Welcome to New Orleans, the Wawa way. 3 days. Solo. A city that wears its history in its decor, its food, and (apparently) the tree scratching against my hotel window at night. This trip was inspired by AHS: Coven, The Originals, Princess and the Frog, and Eve's Bayou — and honestly, New Orleans delivered on every single reference.
