"Vacation with an Artist" or simply VAWAA is a quite new platform for people like us: those who like travelling with a purpose. With no intend to advertise the service we follow its concept hence it is not new and even Airbnb launched its "Experiences" last year. Through VAWAA, an art-hungry traveler can book several-day workshops with a street artist in Buenos Aires, an ikebana master in Kyoto, and a bamboo bicycle-maker in Bangalore, among other artisans representing a vast array of mediums.
