My 15 Favorite Things to Do & See in Chicago
It's my first time in Chicago. In a week I'll be starting a new job and even though I didn't know that when I started planning several months ago, the timing is now kind of perfect. Traveling 'in between jobs' always gives me that extra sense of freedom where I don't...

It's my first time in Chicago. In a week I'll be starting a new job and even though I didn't know that when I started planning several months ago, the timing is now kind of perfect.

Artisan du Chocolat’s chocolate salty balls
Sea salt and I, it's a growing love affair. What started as seasoning for my weekend egg, then scrubbing, hair spray.... has now evolved to sea salt in my chocolate. What else? I promised you more chocolate, and did I find the right spot to go to! Artisan du...
Judging people by their (book) cover
You would think that in a city where there is so much to do, there just isn't any time to sit down and read a book. But actually I don't think I've ever seen so many people read in public. It's the perfect way to kill some time on your commute to work or wherever...
