Post Hello from a Socal S2Ker



Hi,

I recently graduated from UCSD and have spent the last 1.5 months in seclusion studying for my DAT exam to get into dental school. I'm in limbo right now and on a whim, I decided to buy the 1 month $500 unlimited flights pass offered by JetBlue. I don't really have a travel buddy because it was a little sporadic and a lot unplanned. I figured I'd just go by myself and do some soul searching.

Chicago is one of the cities, among many others, I plan on traveling to. Is there anyone on the forums that wouldn't mind showing me around or just hanging out and having some fun?

I'm 22 years old, pretty personable, and I'm not a psycho killer. Facebook me if you're interested. Last name is luong. The picture in my signature is me at 20. This is NOT a dating outreach post (I have a boyfriend). I'm just looking to have a good time, travel a new city every day for the next month, and meet some diverse people along the way.

My journey begins 9/7-10/6 and again, I don't have a plan. Accommodation is very flexible considering I can come and go whenever.

Thanks,
Macy

wow that's pretty awesome. What does your boyfriend think about you going on this "hiatus?" I'm pretty sure a local group of us can show you around, we like having occasional meets and outings. What exact dates were you thinking of coming to Chicago?

Definitely let us know. We've got a great group of people here in the Chicagoland area and I'm sure between all of us, we can find ways for you to have fun here. Chicago is a great city, and you won't be disappointed.

JetBlue does it once a year, they offer unlimited flying for one month. You just have to pay taxes and any extra fee's
