A personal story about live music abroad
This past year, I was traveling in Costa Rica and found myself at a local festival, dancing away to the music of a band. It was one of the most fun experiences I had during my trip and it made me fall in love with the country all over again. If you have time while you’re abroad, make sure you check out some live music – it’s an experience that’s worth every penny.
My favorite bands
I love discovering new music. A great way to do that is by going to a live show. I’ve learned about so many bands and artists from going to their shows. It’s also a great way of feeling connected to the community, as you’ll often see people who actually live there at the show too. If you can’t find any local bands or musicians playing in your area, maybe you should plan your next vacation around one!
Where to find local music while traveling
If you want to discover some new music while you’re traveling, there are a few ways to find it. The first thing you should do is take a look at the local paper or go online and check out what the listings are for live music in the area. This will get you started and give you an idea of what’s playing on any given night. If that doesn’t work, there are also many different apps that can help like Bandsintown or Gigwise for example.
