Argentina is a land of contrasts, blending vibrant city life with awe-inspiring natural beauty. In Buenos Aires, the passion of tango, lively street art, and charming neighborhoods like San Telmo and Palermo make every corner an experience to savor.

Whether sharing mate with locals, trekking glaciers in El Calafate, or indulging in world-class Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina invites you to slow down, connect deeply, and embrace every moment of its rich culture and landscapes.
In my quest to go from Tourist to Townie here in Buenos Aires I must find inspiration in those who have paved the way before me. The special few who have successfully made the life-long transformation into a society once foreign to them. With that being said I decided to

Who is Ricardo Fort? It seems like every time I turn on the television here in Buenos Aires or go by a news stand I see Ricardo Fort. This Johnny Bravo look-a-like is the Argentine version of a Jersey Shore d-bag complete with sweet barbwire tattoos and a blowout hair-do.
Yesterday, a friend and I ventured down to the Ecological Reserve here in Buenos Aires for some fresh air and a good workout. The Ecological Reserve (Reserva Ecologica) in Costanera Sur is a giant forest/marsh area along the Rio de la Plata just past Puerto Madero and not far from Plaza
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
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
