Hi, I’m Cleo — storyteller, city explorer, and the voice behind Cleo’s Urban Adventures!

With a background in communications and a lifelong love for discovering hidden gems, I created this blog to share vibrant snapshots of city life. Whether I’m catching a free outdoor concert, hunting down the best street art, or finding the coziest neighborhood café, I’m all about exploring big cities on a budget — and making the everyday feel extraordinary.

I was born in Venezuela, and while my heart will always carry the warmth and soul of my roots, New York City has been my home for over 25 years. It’s the place that welcomed me, challenged me, and helped shape who I am today. I may not have been born here, but I’ve earned my stripes — I’m a true New Yorker at heart.

Through this blog, I share the moments, places, and stories that make city life so captivating — from the well-known landmarks to the tucked-away treasures. Join me as I wander with curiosity, camera in hand, always looking for the magic in the everyday.
