Badfish + Kash’d Out – $20

The Story

Hey, I’m Jaime – I love Chicago (even in the Winter) and spend my time between NY and Lakeview when I’m not out traveling!  I go to meetups, happy hours, mountains, charity events, concerts, festivals, etc., to meet new people and make new friends wherever I go! 

I made this quick site so anyone looking to attend fun events, meet new people, and make new friends can easily find stuff to do!

If you find this useful, share it with friends.  I’ll see you out there!

Much love 🙂

– Jaime

 

This site is totally free, enjoy!
