Last year, we stayed in Brooklyn and rode bikes around New York City for a week. We had no car. It was awesome.
I want to do a similar thing in Chicago this year. What are your vacation ideas? Not so much “the dream vacation that I want to do someday but can’t”, what do you want that you might do soon?

Home. All my stuff and various setups are at home. I just want to be at home and be allowed to relax.
boss can still reach you at home – while you have to deal with sunburn and malaria in exotic locales, you can at least claim lack of cell coverage for not answering your coworkers’ calls about how to load toner into the printer …
I’m going to visit a lake called Blåisvatnet in Norway this summer. I’ve been to many beautiful places in Norway but this one is still on the bucket list. Look it up, looks gorgeous!
This year, I either want to go on a seaside holiday to Southern France (Nice, Marseille or Biarritz), or return to Germany. Went to Leipzig and Dresden last time I went and I want to visit my half-American friend again.
Finland seems nice. I’d like to see the northern tiaga before climate change kills it all.
Well, after next week, I think I might have spring break off before spring quarter at college, so I think I’ll vacation in my bedroom and might spend a little bit of the remaining winter quarter financial aid I have going to a mall not too far from where I live and buy a boba tea for myself after visiting my favorite store if it’s still there.
A cabin in the mountains somewhere for a week sounds nice
I just got back from a trip to Costa Rica. It’s an amazing and beautiful country.
I just came back to Sweden after a week in the south of Spain, and if you like dramatic nature environments, check out El Caminito del Rey, it is now safe and easy to walk, but it is scary at the end, even if it is safe and well built
Is it that crazy concrete trail sticking to the rock high above the land? Like path to some dam/power plant? I’ve seen one gopro video from that and almost threw up. I’m too afraid to put that in search engine now.
Yep, that is the old path, the new path follows the old but is safe and well maintained.
At the end you have to cross a suspension bridge with a grated floor above a 100+ meters drop, the bridge is bouncy, but when you look at the cables you can see that they are way over built for the stresses they encounter.
Didn’t stop my vertigo though.
Then when walking down a few stairs I would turn around and back down them at that point.
If you wonder about it, you can check it out on google street view, it is all documented there with the new path
I’ll do that once I feel brave enough :-)
It is well worth it
Queenstown in New Zealand is my happy place, but I’m on the east coast of Australia.
Its under 8 hours door to door, no language barrier, no jet lag, and Im in a cool mountain town with awesome food and amazing scenery. I can get to my accommodation and I know exactly where to go to get some amazing (overpriced but amazing) pizza and the best icecream I’ve ever had.
I’d like to see Mexico City, eat at restaurants and go to museums. We just got direct flights so hopefully soon.
I’m going there for the first time next month!
My hobbies are free diving and mountain biking, and my Spanish is getting conversational (ish). Weekend trips to local lakes and rivers in the summer, tons of mountain biking where I live. I love the ocean though so I hope to go to a coastal this year. Eventually I want to save up to visit some South American countries
Tokyo. I’ve been studying my Japanese lessons and I can’t wait to ride their trains!
The two big travel goals I have are to visit every major region of the world at least once and then to do a big road trip across the continental US (and then visit Hawaii and Alaska by plane because non contiguous states are non contiguous)
If a full continental circuit rail network gets set up I want to ride that all the way around the country too.
To an interesting city with a decent mass transit system and art/history. Bonus points for good photo locations and pedestrian friendliness.
New York fit that pretty well. I think Chicago does too. DC, Seattle, Boston are all recommended. Have not done that kind of trip in Atlanta or Philadelphia, but they are what you want.
