[Ep. 04 | IL & FL] You Don’t Need a Week Off to Travel, You Need a Micro Trip w/ Akylah Cox of Go Kylah Go

Do you want to travel but feel pressed for time or money, or both? You are not alone! Between work, family responsibilities, limited vacation days, and the cost of travel, finding the time and money for a traditional vacation can feel impossible. In this episode with my guest Akylah Cox from Go Kylah Go, we are unlocking the power of the micro trip also called a micro-cation: a short, intentional trip that proves you do not need unlimited time to see the world. If you have ever said, “I want to travel, but I do not have enough time,” this episode is for you.

How to Enjoy Chicago for FREE.99

Chicago is America's second city for very good reason. While I was there I BARELY scratched the surface but fell in love with it nonetheless. I visit there during my novice traveling days. This meant I did not maximize my time as well as I could have because I did not do my research before arriving. I depended completely on people's suggestion or just walking around bumping into something, although that is not always a bad thing. It also means the quality of my photos during my was trip due to my less experienced photo taking skills and my lesser quality camera (although that camera held me down at the time!)

Best Food Spots of Chicago

If you are coming to Chicago, an empty stomach is a MUST! Chicago has a HUGE food scene to check out. Originally coming to Chicago for a long weekend, but then ending up stranded due to Tropical Storm Sandy hitting my home city, I had ample opportunities to explore the food scene. However, even with nearly a week there, I barely scratched the surface on foods to try.
