A gringo or gringa (male/female variants) is a backpacker, tourist or traveller most commonly identified by Merrell shoes, unkempt hair, unwashed clothes, loud voice and bad dancing. Gringos/gringas can be seen sporting colourful cardigans with repeated alpaca patterns to slob around in whilst watching movies in their hostels.
Other uses: gringoland (tourist hub, very little cultural authenticity here, unless you’re talking homogenised culture); the gringo trail (the safe path that travellers follow through Latin America where they will inevitably bump into the same gringos/gringas time and time again).

Im impressed, I need to say. Incredibly hardly ever do I come across a blog thats both informative and entertaining, and let me tell you, youve hit the nail on the head. Your weblog is significant; the issue is something that not adequate people are talking intelligently about. Im truly happy that I stumbled across this in my search for one thing relating to this issue.
