Take on St Patrick’s Day in Chicago Like the Locals Do

Chicago does a lot right: hotdogs, nightlife, and deep-dish pizza, but what they do best is Saint Patrick’s day (celebrated the Saturday before the actual day). It's one of the best times to visit Chicago! On the shores on Lake Michigan, close to home, I’ve always thought of Chicago as a mini NYC. An already bustling

I Wish I’d Had a Singapore Neighborhood Guide Like This One…

Before coming to Singapore, I wanted to see how it was laid out as a city and where the cool places to be were. I couldn't find a good guide anywhere! I know mine isn't the best but I did learn a lot while there (staying with local friends) and they helped me organize this.
