159. My USA Autumn Adventure Trip: Rhode Island, Cape Cod & Martha's Vineyard

December 24, 2024·35 min

Jessica Grace Coleman recaps the final leg of her five-week solo USA autumn adventure, focusing on her time with friend Ruth in Rhode Island, Cape Cod, and Martha's Vineyard. The episode features vivid descriptions of Newport's Gilded Age mansions (including the 70-room Breakers), hilarious historical anecdotes about socialite Mamie Fish's eccentric dinner parties and dog parties, the charming gingerbread houses of Oak Bluffs, and a pilgrimage to Jaws film locations in Edgartown. Coleman emphasizes accessible tourism strategies (trolley tours, ferry logistics), local experiences (Ben & Jerry's regional flavors), and the joy of traveling with friends while maintaining solo-travel principles.
