Traveling around the world I enjoy walking around exploring the neighborhoods of my temporary location. Graffiti and street art always catches my eye.
In Buenos Aires I stayed in the Palermo Soho neighborhood and walked throughout the neighborhood, there was plenty of creative graffiti in the area.

In the historic Casco Viejo neighborhood of Panama there was construction everywhere so it was a nice surprise to come across a little gallery of graffiti along one of the streets.

Mexico City street art in black and white near the La Condesa neighborhood where I rented an apartment for eight days.
Visiting Mexico City by myself turned into a great vacation, during Thanksgiving weekend so the weather didn’t get too cold except for one day.

Barcelona graffiti poem in La Ribera district – Art is Life. One of my favorite cities to visit in Europe, lots of great architecture and street art in Barcelona.

That is some cool street art!!
We used to live in a place where the view from our bedroom window was of a public wall that people were allowed to graffiti on. It was amazing!!

That would be great, I would love that! An ever changing canvas right outside your window. When I was in art school many years ago we had a 'graffiti stairwell' that was a constantly reworked canvas.
