I don’t really love Chicago. I went there last weekend for a concert and spent about 72H there. BUT you have to know you must be ready to wait in line to enter restaurants and shops. Long lines. The streets are dirty, and filled with homelessness and mental health issues. I saw many homeless persons with their kids sitting on the streets. I still have some recommandations if you still want to go.

There’s so much to do in NYC! My favorite things to do in the city are: (1) to eat (see below for my foodie guide), (2) go to a broadway show (the TKTS stand has great discounted tickets – and I personally pick the shows I want to see based on the cast), and (3) walk around and explore the different neighborhoods! Each neighborhood has its own charm – I particularly love Chelsea (you can walk the highline and get something to eat at Chelsea Market), Nolita/Soho/Little Italy (which are all in walking distance of each other), and there’s nothing like walking around central park (with a stop at the Plaza Hotel or Columbus circle). It’s touristy, but I love 30 Rock (get something from Magnolia bakery while you’re there), and if you’ve never done the tour it’s fun to see the SNL set and hear from a real NBC page! Obviously, Columbia has a beautiful campus but unless you’re venturing uptown there isn’t that much else to do there. Brooklyn is its own magical world (and each neighborhood there is different too - Brooklyn Heights is bougie and beautiful, Williamsburg is hipster AF, and generally the pizza is the best in Brooklyn). But my favorite part about living in NYC was that chances are if you see a cool pop up or random event happening on instagram/social media, it’s happening in New York and you can be a part of it! Eater and Thrillist are two places that share these types of events.

Uluwatu is where I ALWAYS start my Bali holiday. It's about a 45 minute drive from the airport and has nice white beaches (only can swim at low tide.) This is where I deal with my jetlag and just chill until I'm ready to move. Unless you surf this is a 2-3 day max area to stay in, but a great place to begin. Don't head towards Kuta, Seminyak, Canguu first --you WILL be dissappointed. Lots of traffic and dirty beaches….its just where everyone is becuase theres lots of stuff to do with shopping, eating, and partying.

“From coast to coast, the beaches of the USA offer a dazzling tapestry of natural beauty and coastal charm. On the shores of Hawaii, black volcanic sands meet crystal-clear waves, framed by lush cliffs and swaying palms. California’s coastline stretches endlessly with golden beaches backed by rugged bluffs and rolling surf, where each sunset paints the sky in fiery hues. Along Florida’s Gulf Coast, powder-soft white sand feels like silk beneath your feet, and the turquoise waters glisten like glass under the sun. The Outer Banks of North Carolina offer wild, windswept dunes and hidden coves steeped in history, while the beaches of Cape Cod charm with their gentle waves and weathered shingled cottages. From the dramatic seascapes of Oregon to the serene barrier islands of Georgia, the beaches of the USA are as diverse as they are unforgettable—a true paradise for every kind of beach lover.”
