Working in Streamwood, IL this week up in the northwest burbs.
Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn in Hoffman Estates. It's really nice, big rooms, very comfy bed, free internet, microfridge, cookies and coffee in the lobby, small hotel bar, nicer business center, pool, hot tub, exercise center, and a nice variety of shampoos and mouthwash. Got to visit with Darwin and Jess since they live just a few minutes away in Palatine.
Tonight is my last night on the road as a Guerrilla Marketing Specialist with Jimmy John's. It's definitely had its ups and downs the past year. Almost exactly a year ago I was getting ready to hit the road and live in Michigan for a month. In some ways I have no idea where the year went. In other ways, I feel like I've missed out on my life. I won't be traveling as much anymore, but when I do, it'll be special again and I'll look forward to it.
So what now? I'm not really sure. I want to do marketing work in Chicago (if you know of any work, let me know!) I'll be doing temporary contract work while I find something more permanent. I'm in a strange place of being a little sad to leave, being thrilled to leave, and being really unsure about the future. I know it's time to move on, but it's still weird that I'm leaving behind the last year of long car drives, flights, hotels, bars in strange towns, sandwiches, Priceline requests, and being at work at 7am. But, time to live in Chicago and enjoy all that there is there. I'm excited to start and see what life is like in the city on the weekdays.
Where in the USA is Kathryn? Chicago. Stay tuned.

Enjoy your last week. Can't wait to hear what comes next. Hope you keep up the blog. :)
Hi Kathryn! I hope your first day off the road was filled with R&R! I just wanted to drop you a note - you caught me on such a busy week last week and I never thanked you for your hard work over the past year. You always kept a positive attitude and I truly appreciated that. I will miss reading about your adventures in a new city each week - I hope you keep writing so I can read about your adventures beyond JJs! It was a pleasure being on your team and I wish you all the best!
Take care,
Karolyn
Thanks Karolyn! I will definitely keep up the blog and update everyone on life off the road for a bit :-)
