Humboldt Park (1400 N Sacramento Ave, Chicago, IL 60622) is one of those spots I never truly attempted to see, and now that I have, I want to share this oasis with the world. It’s a gorgeous spot that belies the fact that just outside its bounds, a bustling city awaits.…

The Rickshaw Challenge and Indian Wifi Woes
I’m so happy to present a guest post from Brianne Miers, another female traveler who (as you will learn) has seen it all. Throughout my professional career, I’ve had almost every kind of workspace there is – a private office (LOVE!), a shared cube (LOATHE) and even a converted closet…
