Most Chicagoans have rightfully called off their long-distance travel plans over the past year, opting instead to stay home or book quicker trips within driving distance of the city. That helps explain why rental platform Airbnb has identified a new browsing trend of "wish list wanderlust." According to the booking company's research, exploring new destinations online and reminiscing about past trips makes people feel hopeful and happy. To honor the country's renewed interest in bookmarking future travel, Airbnb has released its most wish-listed stays in all 50 states.
