If you’ve talked to me within the last year, there’s a really good chance (we’re talking like a 95% chance here) you’ve heard me endlessly talk about wanting to move to Chicago. I’ve been searching apartments, talking about Chicago, following social media pages of places in Chicago, the list goes on and on.

If you’ve watched the show ‘Nashville’ (first on ABC, then picked up by CMT) you’ve heard of the Bluebird Cafe. It’s a real place and a place where intimate shows are still held and songwriters still perform. Since being on the show, it has gained popularity and reservations are hard to come by. There are, however, a number of first come/first serve seats available for the first 10-15 people. Doors opened at 5:30 and we were told to get there at least an hour before to secure entry.

Bob is one of those people - and his Instagram shares pictures of his recent travels in Iceland, Norway and tropical destinations like Guatemala and Belize. He is from Montreal, and if it weren't for Instagram, our paths probably would never have crossed. Heck, if we weren't both in Iceland roughly a week ago, our accounts probably wouldn't have crossed, either.
