Seeing Nothing and Experiencing More
May 16th
Have you ever experienced a theater performance while wearing a blindfold? Photo from Flickr user stars alive. Ted and Bethany from TwoOregonians suggested I attend Ojos Cerrados. And I am glad I took their suggestion. I went with my friend and former housemate Susanna. The main reason to go with a friend is to have
Foto of the Week from … Buenos Aires: Hidden Walls
May 11th
I love graffiti, especially in Buenos Aires. I did a graffiti biking tour last year with Graffitimundo and Biking Buenos Aires. I also enjoyed seeking out some lesser-known graffiti murals in the city. I wanted more. I was very excited to go on Graffitimundo’s Hidden Walls Tour, which takes you to barrios of the city
Mixing Business and Pleasure (Art and Steak) in BA
Apr 25th
After an amazing stay at the Viñas de Cafayate Wine Resort, I have made my way back to Buenos Aires via a long, yet comfortable overnight bus ride. As you know, I have returned to this city for work. Specifically, I am writing a Buenos Aires City Guide for Indie Travel Media. (Note that if you sign
Foto of the Week from … Valparaiso: Street Art
Mar 30th
Every travel blogger who has passed through Valparaíso has written about the street art, and I am not going to be an exception. I have photographed street art in Bogota and taken a graffiti tour in Buenos Aires. I just wrote about how food is one of my favorite parts of travel. Street art is
Back in Latin America Again
Mar 21st
Although I was pleasantly surprised by Santiago and stayed longer than I planned, it’s time to move on to the next destination. Valparaíso is a place I have been looking forward to experiencing. I heard it has a funky vibe and amazing graffiti art. True and true. What surprised me the most was that I
The Impressive Teatro Colon Opera House in Buenos Aires
Nov 9th
When I visited Argentina for the first time in 2009 on a 2-week vacation, one of the major attractions in Buenos Aires was closed for renovations. After 7 years of detailed restoration, Teatro Colon is now open to the public. The tour is one of the top things to do in Buenos Aires. The price
Halloween Photo Fun with Foto-Ruta
Nov 3rd
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. You get to dress up in scary, slutty (not me, of course), funny, and/ or inappropriate costumes. You get to eat candy. You get to stay up partying until 6am. Oh, wait… The 6am thing is just a normal Saturday night in Buenos Aires. I also really enjoy
No More Procrastinating
Sep 17th
I listed Franklin Park Conservatory as one of the 5 Must Do Things in Columbus. I have visited several times, however, there is one thing I have never seen there: the Blooms & Butterflies annual exhibit. For at least the past 5 summers, I have wanted to see this exhibit. But I kept putting it
Gallery Nights in Buenos Aires
Aug 25th
I have written before about the great art in Buenos Aires. I have visited quite a few galleries and attended multiple art events. There are so many options to choose from in this city, and most are free. The importance and accessibility of art is one of the reasons I love this city. When I
Tango Is Not for Me
Aug 13th
Remember how I learned to salsa dance in Quito and Nicaragua? Remember how much I loved it and even made a video because I was so proud of myself? I wanted to learn to tango in Buenos Aires. Well, I did try. But I suck. Tango is really hard. I do not enjoy it nearly
