About Me

So excited that you're here! I'm Lily, born and raised in Chicago, married to an incredible guy who loves traveling the world with me. I always try to find ways to save on my trips, visit lesser-known cities, and capture the most picturesque and colorful spots. I'm a huge foodie, obsessed with coffee and Italy, and when I'm not traveling I'm volunteering my time at the local dog shelter.
