Chicago
Summertime Chi is always the highlight of the year for a midwest babe like me. As a born and raised Chicagoan, I’m always happy to share my favorites or try something new with you. There is something here for everyone, laid back introverts who prefer 1-1 intimate activities or adventurous extroverts that want to experience everything in a weekend.
