Have you ever experienced a theater performance while wearing a blindfold?

Ted and Bethany from TwoOregonians suggested I attend Ojos Cerrados.

And I am glad I took their suggestion.

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 More >

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.

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 also More >

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 More >

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 was a More >

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 More >

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 More >

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.

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 as much as salsa. 

So I More >
