We're taking on the Windy City solo! It's the first full day of my Chicago media trip. Come with me as I explore the city's landmarks and share the spontaneous moments I experienced throughout the day including being serenaded by a random man on the street, interviewing with a journalist, and an impromptu photoshoot with a photographer I ran into while exploring! While this is a solo trip, I still made sure to clock in to my travel writer/vlogger job which is create content for my media partners at Palmer House Chicago, The Spa at Palmer House and the other places I have on my list for the week! It's my dream to have my own travel series so let me know what you think about my hotel intro and content so far! I also share more behind-the-scenes over on my TikTok and Instagram! https://www.tiktok.com/@UC3OOyQs35rAvVey02qHxZew https://www.instagram.com/theparisperspective Wanna know how to take your first sponsored trip? I'll be sharing more about how you can do it with less than 1,000 followers or subscribers!

In this episode, I’m taking you through a real look at my daily life in Loja. From exploring the markets and trying local Ecuadorian cuisine to grocery shopping, quiet moments at home, and a bit of culture and nightlife. I’m here housesitting (with the simple responsibility of watering plants), so this chapter is showing you my slow-living, digital nomad rhythms as I ease into life abroad. This episode captures what long-term travel really looks like: adapting, settling in, and embracing the small everyday moments that shape a new routine. Thanks for coming along!
