Walking Food Tour of Bucktown & Wicker Park
After we booked our Airbnb in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood, I worried I’d made a terrible mistake. The area was quite far away from any major tourist spots and definitely not walkable to the restaurants… [Continue Reading]

![Confession: If you meet me in real life, you'll quickly find out I'm a huge introvert and proud homebody.⠀
.⠀
It literally makes NO SENSE that I love to travel so much.⠀
.⠀
Honestly, it don't understand it myself. 🤔⠀
.⠀
But when I started blogging and following other travel bloggers closer, I realized there's a whole bunch of us weirdos out there! 😝⠀
.⠀
Which got me thinking...I don't think a love for travel is so much about being adventurous in the sense of introvert vs. extrovert. It's more about having a curiosity for the world. ⠀
.⠀
And for us introverts, that curiously pushes us out of our comfort zone. Traveling inspires me to try new things that I would NEVER so easily do at home.⠀
.⠀
And so, I can't give it up. Because it gives me a sense of feeling alive like I can't get anywhere else!⠀
.⠀
Are you an introvert or an extrovert? How to does it influence the way you travel?⠀

![This girl can really drive me bonkers sometimes...⠀
.⠀
Evelyn is SO strong-willed. Like, whatever she wants to do, she’s gonna do it. It doesn’t matter how many times you tell her no or how many time-outs she has to sit, she will find a way.⠀
.⠀
[I keep telling myself this will serve her well someday when she’s a boss lady.]⠀
.⠀
But her new thing is being totally out of control one minute and then saying “hey mama, I gotta tell you a secret!” Then she’ll gently whisper into my ear, “I love you so much!” ... and I mean, how am I supposed to be mad after that??⠀

Anyone else working with a master manipulator? 🤣 Have you found anything that works??](http://scontent-ort2-2.cdninstagram.com/vp/b14f3a13f3b8364bca08b2d720bd82ec/5D02F0C9/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c0.135.1080.1080/s640x640/49933463_1183991771748301_2892870253568916490_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-2.cdninstagram.com "This girl can really drive me bonkers sometimes...⠀
