Casey is a student at the University of Iowa, and she chose
HI-Chicago for her spring break destination this year! I had the chance to catch up with her on her
last day at the hostel, and she had a lot of interesting things to say about her
trip. She came to Chicago with a friend
from school, and while they was here, they thought that it would be a good idea
to check out some of the schools in the area, so they spent some time exploring the
University of Chicago. They also
mastered the CTA and ventured out to Evanston to see Northwestern University.
Chicago is just the most recent stop in Casey’s travel
history. She’s originally from Tainan,
Taiwan, and she has taken trips to Greece and Turkey in the past. Along with her native Taiwanese and English
(which she has completely mastered), she also speaks Korean, Mandarin, and is
currently studying Japanese. This
multi-talented girl is a Journalism student, and hopes to use her language
skills throughout her career. While in
Chicago, Casey had a chance to see the sights, and one of her favorite places
was Millenium Park. She loved the
uniqueness of the Bean, and the overall architecture in the city intrigues her
because it’s very different from the buildings in her hometown.
She didn’t get to spend much time soaking up the sun on her
spring break because it’s been so cold here lately, but luckily she did get to
enjoy some time outside today. When the sun
wasn’t shining, she took refuge in museums like the Art Institute. She loved looking at all the unique pieces
there, especially the artwork in the Picasso exhibit. The fact that she was able to have an awesome
time despite the wind and cold weather is one of the things that she will
remember most about her trip. We are
pretty well prepared for the elements here, and she liked that we know how to
have a good time no matter what crazy state the weather is in.
Have a safe trip home Casey, and we’re glad that you had a
great experience in Chicago!
