Walking, social events, and food

I love social events like family and friend gatherings, i find them to be very therapeutic and stress relieving. As a foodie, I love trying new foods especially in Chicago where so many different cool cultural foods are offered! One of the reasons I chose to serve in Chicago vs the suburbs!
