שלום

I can go on forever with greeting this diverse Steemit community but I think I should at least introduce myself if I want a greeting back, right?
My name is Karen AKA ChicagoCHic. I am originally from the Philippines but grew up in the United States, specifically Chicago. I decided to join the Steemit community so I can share my love of travel, food, fashion and coffee through my lens. Photography is my passion which is the best way I can express myself. My wish for this photography blog is to inspire all the Steemit friends to fulfill your owns sense of adventure.
Truth be told I am a lurker but with a little bit of encouragement, I might be able to come out of my shell and open up more. Please do not hesitate to say HI and make connections.

Photo above. Taken in Chicago at a cafe called Cafe Tola https://www.cafetola.com
This is at their California Avenue location. If you are a child or fan of the 80s, this mural might bring out memories you'd like to share with the world. There are others not pictured that's part of the mural such as Star Wars and the Simpsons. This is a cafe that serves coffee made from Colectivo Coffee Roasters (https://colectivocoffee.com) beans and have fresh empanadas and other baked good on their menu.

Photo below. This is what the cafe looks like inside. If you're not into the 80s, maybe some inspiration from Frida Khalo could get your creative juices going.

My aunt is Karen, love the Pac-Man background, my neighbors in Oregon were from the Philippines, haven't been to Chicago yet, I think, but have been around the East Coast. Was in Vietnam. You look great. Was born in 1985 and miss the 80's for sure. I do some art. I'm Oatmeal Joey. Nice to meet you.
