The Best of Buenos Aires: Summer Edition
Despite the constant sweat and weird smells coming from the Subte, summer in Buenos Aires has been nothing short of spectacular . I’ve experienced a lot of great things here in the city over the last few months and I wanted to share a few of my favorite spots. After you read this list please recommend […]
26 Years in the Making
Never in a million years (or 26) did I think I’d be spending my birthday like this. Partying it up with lifelong friends that I’d had only met a few months ago. It was great having so many of the people who’ve helped make this an amazing adventure together in one place. (we missed you Mariangela […]
A WTF Moment
Have you ever had one of those times where all of a sudden you snap out of being in the moment and look at a situation and say “What the F** am I doing here?” Like your doing something really stupid or just in a really awkward situation. Well for me, it used to happen a lot, […]
New Years in Buenos Aires
For New Years Eve in Buenos Aires I definitely took a step back from “townie” status (-2), however I did score (+5) points on my “United Nations Activist” scorecard. To kick-off 2010 I went down to a house party across town hosted by an English friend, Emma. I partied the night away with allies from […]
Passion Permeates Life in Buenos Aires
Before we start I have to say that I’ve kissed a lot of men since i’ve been down here and I’m okay with it. There, I just had to get that off my chest… Yesterday was Natalia’s last day at work. She’s been bartending at Buller for 2-years and was certainly a centerpiece to the Buller […]
SPANISH, CHAPTER 2: The Pressure
The honeymoon is over and it’s time to start bearing down. I’ve been able to penetrate some Argentine social circles and now its time to actually build relationships. I’m decent with salutations (Hellos, goodbyes, etc.) but where the conversation goes from there is anyones guess. I’m also okay with the “where are you from?” and “what […]
X-mas Party @ Buller w. Catupecu Machu
Tuesday was the Private Christmas Party for friends and family at Buller. It was a long crazy night filled with great music, drunk employees and crowd surfing bosses. With the bar packed with locals my spanish skills were really put to the test. Usually everyone who comes in sits down and orders a beer or […]
Tango, Salsa, Milonga & Club 69
The night started out classy, romantic and educational and it ended with a fantasy induced sex-fest of a party (yet, still highly educational). Feeling pretty confident after our semi-successful polo debut we decided to give dance lessons a try last night. After very little research my roommate mentioned La Viruta for Tango, Milunga and Salsa classes. […]

Week 1 at Work: A Bloody Mess!
Last night I finished up my first week of bartending at Buller Pub in Recoleta. I’m a bit drained but pumped for the connections and Spanish practice I’ll have through this job. I still have a ton of names to remember but I think I came up with a good system. I find characteristics about the […]
