Guest Posters on Artsy Traveler
I love hearing from other artsy travelers! Guest posters share their travel experiences to help you make the most of your travel time. I’m also excited to hear from artists, performers, craftspeople, and other creative folks who would like to share information about the artsy travel experiences (galleries, courses, workshops) they offer to travelers.
Are you interested in being a guest poster on Artsy Traveler? Please contact me and let’s chat.
Here are the guest posters who have contributed their tips and recommendations to Artsy Traveler.

Andie Easton
Andie Easton has been traveling to great cities for more than twenty-five years. Always excessively curious, she was constantly asking the questions that today’s travelers need to know. “Am I seeing the best sights and are they even open today? Are there any that are a rip-off? Is there a better restaurant on the next street that I should have known about? What faster, cheaper way can I get to and from the airport? What about local hang-outs? Is the city blocked off for a marathon on my arrival day?
These and other questions took time and research but paid off in a big way. You can save that time by grabbing one of her ten “Clued In” travel books. The concise and opinionated listings will, quite simply, make your trip better. (Available solely as ebooks because of the convenient live web-links throughout.) Her co-author is Dean Dalton.
