was there for 3 days to see a friend, and I loved the sites and the hospitality I received. I was trying to find my hotel and an older man saw me confused and he offered to walk me to the street where my hotel was. I was surprised, but thankful. Also public transportation was so accessible there.
I’m hoping to see my friend again this year, and i hope to do more there. Plus i was not able to see the whole art museum

Chicago has really beautiful architecture and an abundance of art museums— the Art Institute is one of my favourite museums, it’s laid out so well, and you could spend an entire day in the museum easily. When I travel to Chicago I stay at the Freehand hostel; it’s very old school and a bunk in a shared room is $30. If you want to travel to eat, Chicago has a really great restaurant culture, and it’s very accessible for pedestrians and people who use public transit.

The people are nice, the city is clean, the food is great. My favorite part was the time we spend in Lincoln park! There were more little boutiques in that area and I prefer to shop local when I travel. We also became regulars at poke poke over our time there, the workers are so sweet and the food is amaze!

There‘s so much to do and so many hidden gems it really depends on your vibe! Where are you staying?
Kingston Mines is a blues club that’s been around forever- they have live music, food, and drinks.
Chicago does street fests so well and they’re what I think of when I think of summer. There’s something every weekend basically.
Millenium Park also does a free concert series. It’s great to picnic and listen to great music. A lot of well known artists do it.
We have beaches!!!! You probably won’t have a bike but if you do… bike up to a beach.
The river architecture tour is so cool, I loved it even as a person who has been living here for 15 years.
In the summer it’s really easy to stumble upon stuff, which is what I love about summer in the city. There’s also a dive bar on basically every street so if you’re looking for a chill place to have a beer, those are easy to find.
