About This Video

Hello—this is a week in Chicago, and it’s honestly a little hodgepodge of everything I did: Chicago Stationery Fest, art museums, coffee, and a lot of walking around the city (in weather that could not decide what it wanted to be). I start the trip at Paper & Pencil Chicago in Andersonville—an amazing stationery shop (and a Travelers Company partner shop) that also hosts Chicago Stationery Fest. It was my first time visiting, so it felt extra special to see the space, meet the team, and get a peek at the fest energy from the inside. I also revisited one of my favorite museums in the world: the Art Institute of Chicago. A museum is my one non-negotiable on every trip, and I love how curated the Art Institute is—massive collections, thoughtful pacing, and those long wall labels that add so much context (as an art nerd, I really appreciate that detail). Between the riverwalk architecture details, the obligatory Bean stop, and a very real “ramen weather” moment, the week felt like a mix of inspiration and cozy chaos. By the end, I’m back to what I love most: documenting it all. I share a little journal peek using a Travelers Company half-trip insert (passport size), because it’s more than enough for a week and keeps the process low-effort—especially when you’re recovering and just want to catch up on pages while watching The Bear.
