About me: I'm a Chicago-based journalist whose articles about food, lifestyle, travel, and art have appeared in Timeout Chicago, UR Chicago, Newcity Chicago Magazine, The Onion A.V. Club and Matador Trips, among others. My love for non-tourist travel led to a six-year stint in Amsterdam, as well as extended stays all over Italy.
