hosting
by kylewoodward1992
hi there,
i am an Australian student who has recently finished school and was looking to do a bit of traveling. 2 years ago i traveled to California and i would love to come back to the states.
unfortunately i do not have loads of money to do this traveling with, so i am here to ask if anyone knows of someone who is willing to offer some accomodation for me whilst i travel. in return i can offer as extra hands around the house cleaning, fixing things etc. i also would be looking for any part time work if i can find any so i will be able to offer a small amount of rent if it is required.
if anyone is interested in helping me out send me an email at spaz_bob@hotmail.com and we can talk a bit more about things.
thanks in advance

Hi - you may want to check out www.couchsurfing.com.

Good luck with your request, however be aware that working in the USA without the proper Government documentation is illegal and if you are caught you could be deported and you would not be able to return to the USA for many years. Also be aware that if you do find work and your employeer knows you are working illegaly then he/she has no need to pay you, as you will have no recourse.

I'll just agree with Donna that www.couchsurfing.com. is your best bet. It doesn't look like you're wanting to earn income during your visit (yes, that is illegal without proper authorization) so that doesn't appear to be a problem.

FYI to all, it changed from .com to .org a while back. It is a nonprofit enterprise.

Travel Tips for Chicago
Chicago public loo's
by jo104
I usually try to give a tip about the city I visit's public facilities. Firstly a word of advice if you ask in a restaurant where are the toilets or the loo's you are likely to get strange looks, American's like to use the term restroom, bathroom or ladies room or indeed the mens room or gents.
A few of the free public restrooms are at Millenium park, the one by the Park Grill are probably the nicest, Navy Pier and the Cultural Centre. I found the facilities to be generally clean although I must admit being a bit bemused at the wide gap under the door. There's me thinking do I wish to be so close to my neighbour? good for passing toilet paper under the gap but not much else. You can use the facilities at most McDonalds although some places have put locks on their doors that can only be opened with a token from the cashier.
Blue skys and beaches
by Travelgirl435
The most important thing in Chicago you absolutly need to see is the beach. If you live in a small town you will absolutly love the beach. My fodest memory of Chicago is going to The American Girl Place and that was so much fun!
Sit in the Wrigley Field...
by jeremybag
Sit in the Wrigley Field bleachers, on a weekday after noon. You can watch a Cubs game while sipping an Old Style and watching the skyline in the distance! Chicago has the greatest selection of restaurants! I lived there for 6 years, and miss all the choices in fine eating places.
You cannot leave the city...
by CubFan
You cannot leave the city unless you go to Wrigley Field. It is the only true ballpark in the nation where baseball is the center of attention. There aren't any cheap billboards up or batting cages or anything like that. It's the way baseball is supposed to be played. Commercialism only cheapens the game. There's no other park quite like it anywhere in the world.
Chicago Tip
by Don_Wright
This city has so many unique qualites you perceive as a visitor. It lives and breathes its historical significance. And it also breathes, the now moment, let's have fun! It is a very vibrant and exciting city. My fondest memory, a Fourth of July weekend and doing the things I mention on this page. And this photo captures the perspective of my memory of Chicago from that weekend.

A: "A sweatshirt in July in Chicago, no way, can be verfy hot, and muggy, short sleeve shirts is all you need, oh yes, you will need pants."
