Hoi An, Vietnam
Hoi An makes a traveler aware of all five senses: the unrelenting sun, an amalgamation of smells from the market, hawkers peddling their goods, scooters and pedestrians weaving a never ending tapestry on the streets, silence in a temple courtyard, peasants and tourists, spicy noodles and a cold beer, another day in Hoi An.

Wynwood Street Art (Miami, FL)
The Wynwood neighborhood, located just north of downtown Miami, is a transformed urban warehouse district. It started with street graffiti and has blossomed into a collection of galleries, eateries, and breweries. The raw feel of street art is still the main draw. Murals seem to go on forever.

With six lines and 91 stations, the D.C. transit system is the second busiest in the U.S. Many D.C. metro stations utilize “Brutalist” architecture, which became popular in the 60’s and 70’s. The style originates from French term Béton brut, which translates to “raw concrete.”

Buenos Aires Street Art
The streets of Buenos Aires contain a world class art gallery. Porteños, as well as local government officials, are customarily in favor of large murals. With an abundant supply of high rises and industrial areas, it is not difficult for an artist to find a canvas. Building owners even contact prominent street artists in order to add some color to their walls. Historically, graffiti spiked around the 1983 transition to democracy, and then again, during the 2001 financial crises.
