In April 2021, I hopped on a plane to Chicago, for my first trip since the pandemic started.

After four days up there, 30-miles of walking around the city, a few visits to various dispensaries, museums, and a lot of great food, it’s safe to say that Chicago is now one of my favorite cities in the U.S.

I started the trip visiting the 94th floor of the Hancock Tower to see incredible views of the skyline, then walked around the riverwalk, over to Millennium Park to see the Cloud Gate structure, and even checked out an alley coffee spot.

Here are some of my favorite photos I captured during my trip to Chicago.
