Tulsa can be a little tricky but the art deco is to die for. As long as you’re aware of your surroundings, this city quickly becomes a town. I’d stay in the downtown area

Miami and the Keyes are great. Miami nightlife is intense but if you’re experienced, doing that solo won’t be a problem

Chicago is perfect for the spring or fall. Summers get sweaty and winters are freezing. Stay in Downtown along the river walk

Similar yet different to Dallas. Austin feels smaller and more rustic.
