Spanish Stereotypes of Americans as seen at the Elrow Party in Barcelona
My rating: 7/10. Elrow is the most famous event producer to come out of Barcelona. In past years, they had hosted weekly themed parties in Barcelona.

Review of Green Valley – DJ Mag #1 Club in the World
My rating of the Club: 7/10. Big, festival-style club in Balneario Camboriu, Brazil, championing mostly mainstream house music. Voted #1 club in the world by DJ mag, and while it’s undoubtedly beautiful I feel that it lacks character.

Airbeat One Festival Review: Great Lineup & Best Campground Ever
Rating: 7/10. Cool countryside festival with 4 diverse stages and genres. Music was curated really well with unbelievable lineup. Real German festival with cool crowd and nice communal feeling. The camping area is a sight to behold. Very hard to get to as a foreigner and consequently there were very few.
