another amazing (and free) view of chicago
If you’re visiting Chicago on a budget, or you just don’t feel like shelling out $30+ for a boat tour, a great way to see the city is by taking a stroll on the Chicago Riverwalk. It’s exactly what it sounds like – a walk along the river. It runs from Lake Shore Drive to…

how to get a fantastic view of the chicago skyline
Two words. Navy Pier. It was built in 1916, marking 2016 as their 100th anniversary – so I’m sure there will be lots of special events to celebrate this year. It’s about a 20 minute walk from the city center. They have small shops and food court type eateries (and were building more when I…

how to eat deep dish pizza in Chicago
So I normally don’t get into the nitty gritty of food in this blog, but most of the time, what you eat is one of the most important parts of a vacation. And seeing that it’s about pizza, and pizza just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite foods, I will make an…

the universal language of BEER
They say that beer is a universal language. Oh wait…that’s love right? Oh well, close enough. After all, it is the third most popular drink overall, after water and tea (not sure how accurate that statement is since I read it on Wikipedia but it sounds about right to me!) Opened in 1988, the Great Lakes…

i wanna rock and roll all night, and party everyday
Such is the life of a rockstar. Sex, drugs, alcohol, and of course rock and roll. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame doesn’t really give you any intel into that lifestyle. But it does tell you about the origin of rock and roll and its hall of fame inductees, and it’s equally as interesting.…

science is fun!
As a kid, I loved the Liberty Science Center (Jersey City, NJ). So I thought it would be fun to visit the Great Lakes Science Center! Plus, it’s right across the street from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, so you can kill two birds with one stone. I didn’t get to see any…

west side market
If I lived in Cleveland, I would be here every weekend. They have a wide variety of things like fresh fruits and veggies, meats, sausages, cheese, fresh pasta, pastries, sweets, beef jerky, and that’s only naming a few. They also have a few stands selling hot snacks, like pizza bagels and bratwurst. Let’s start…

how to be a tourist in pittsburgh
I’m not going to lie to you. There’s not much. At least not in the two half days that I experienced it. There’s the Duquesne Incline, the Strip District, and the Church Brew Works. But I think that pretty much sums it up. Duquesne Incline – is an inclined plane railroad that goes up Mount…

the road to chicago
New year. New me. New blog posts. Not much has changed in the last four months, since I last posted (sorry, I’ve been slacking). Except that I now have a new job at American Express (no, I cannot hook you up with a Centurion card), and that I took a road trip to Pittsburgh, Cleveland,…

how to visit 11 countries in one day
It’s simple, really. All you need to do is buy yourself a ticket to Orlando, and head over to Disney’s EPCOT (which stands for Experimental Prototype Center Of Tomorrow) Center! But before you scoff at this idea and never visit my blog again, hear me out. It’s actually pretty awesome. You get to see the…
