Travel Guide: Chicago
I went to Chicago awhile back and fell in love! I knew I wanted my first travel guide to be on my trip there. As much as I love NYC, Chicago has a special place in my heart. For starters it is for sure a lot less busy and much cleaner then New York. I would one hundred percent recommend going if you have not been. There are so many amazing restaurants to go to and there are an endless amount of sites to see. You definitely won't have much down time, which was okay with me. The best shopping was on Magnificent Mile, which had every store you could think of and more! If you are looking for an outstanding view of the city you need to go check out the Skydeck in the Willis Tower. Millennium Park was another favorite of mine because that is where the infamous bean is along with the Buckingham Fountain. The Navy Pier is also a must because you can ride the ferris wheel and get a great view of Lake Michigan. If you want to relax and get away from the crowd you can walk along the Chicago Riverwalk or Chicago Lakefront trail and look at all the boats. When the trip came to an end I did not want to come home. I hope to be back soon. If you have any questions on where to shop, eat, or explore let me know!

Travel Guide: Miami
Every year when I go to the Keys in Florida I always make sure to plan a mini trip to Miami. It is an amazing city with an endless amount of things to do. My favorite thing to do when I'm there is eat. I love finding trendy new places that not only have good food but a great atmosphere. I love to shop so the best place for high end stores and outstanding pictures is the Design District. Not only do they have the best shops but they also have so many cute areas for photos. If you are really into art or just taking more photos then you already have, Wynwood Walls is a sick place to visit. You can make it an all day thing and shop, eat, and walk around, or you can stop by and see you're favorite walls. I'm going to list down below a ton of restaurants, stores, and places to explore!
