Argentine architect Eduardo Catalina created this work in 2002, and donated it to the City of Buenos Aires. Floralis Genérica, he said, “is a synthesis of all the flowers and, at the same time, a hope reborn every day at opening." 48 1
This is a brand-new hotel in Buenos Aires – The ibis Styles Florida. It’s nice to see this level of accessibility at a new property, especially in a country where so few regulations exist. It’s another reason why Accor Hotels are my most trusted brand. 59 1
At many of its major hubs (DFW, JFK, MIA, LAX), American Airlines offers an exclusive dining experience for passengers flying in First Class between JFK/BOS-LAX and on international flights. It’s the best and most exclusive lounge concept by a U.S. airline, and a place where AA really shines. 55 0
Always great to see my good friend Michael of @travelzork. We’ve hung out on 3 continents in the last year! 69 1

Although Rio’s Christ the Redeemer statue is not fully accessible, Sugar Loaf Mountain is. Wheelchair users can ride two cable cars to get to the top, and a system of lifts makes access to the different levels and viewpoints possible! 60 1
Took a #WCTselfie with my good friend Blandine (@thewheelchairbackpacker) in Central Lisbon to cap off a truly amazing trip with @tourismforall. One of my favorite things about travel is the chance to meet and meet-up with friends from all over the world. 99 2
