Traveling

In college you meet all types of new people, from all over the world. For me meeting new people from places I've never been encourages a sense of wanderlust within me. I want to travel and see and experience all of these new places. The college budget doesn't really allow for a lot of travel, and the amount of school work I have every week barely allows for weekend trips to the local downtown area. So I'm stuck "traveling" to these via the world wide web and planning trips I won't soon take. Its not exactly my idea of a relaxing vacation but it does make for a great study break. So here are my top 4 places I want to visit, and have visited virtually. 



Chicago
Chicago is the third most populous city in the United States, after New York City and Los Angeles. With 2.7 million residents, it is the most populous city in both the U.S. state ofIllinois and the American Midwest.
