zoo and lake and so many knickknacks

Chicago is treating me well. It's relaxed, relatively easy to get around and we've met up with some wonderful people.

To save time and money, I take a flight to Chicago. I arrive late at night, take the metro into the city and meet up with Miles. Together, we check into a hostel in Chicago’s northern area.

The neighborhood Halloween decorations are fun and entertaining. We explore the free zoo in the park, walk along Lake Michigan, meet up with friends, and hop from one amazing shop (where I’m not allowed to buy anything) to the next.

I drink plenty of horchata, get a deep dish pizza (highly recommend) and sometimes we cook at the hostel.

Getting around by metro and bus is easy and affordable and we only treat ourselves to Uber a few times. We play Scopa, pool, and hoops.Read more
