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. Beyond the city, the vast plains of Patagonia, the towering Andes, and the thunderous Iguazú Falls showcase nature’s raw power. 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.
As Rocio got ready for Day 3’s adventure, I took a stroll across the Malka Hostel to a viewpoint next to the entrance that overlooked Tilcara. At first glance, Tilcara looks like a different world. Houses are made from the most basic of material, old cars on dirt roads, scavenging

After an amazing first day in Salta Rocio and I woke up early to go explore the Northern most province of Argentina, Jujuy. We planned to head up there first because we wanted to be back in Salta for the weekend to see the Argentina World Cup match and the big

Despite the terrible food and awkward choice of man-eating-crocodile flicks, the bus ride itself might have been the most efficient and organized service I’ve experienced here
Last month my Argentine friend Rocio and I decided to escape the city and head up north to get a taste of life in Argentina’s northern provinces of Salta and Jujuy. To be honest, before I made the trip to Salta & Jujuy I felt like there had been something
The World Cup ended a last week and everything is finally back to “normal” here in the city. I figured I’d throw a little video together to give you a glimpse at what the chaos was like in Buenos Aires for a few weeks. Here is some footage of the
“Money isn’t everything, but not having it is.” It’s been almost 6-months since my last ‘money update’ so I figured I’d take some time today to organize my finances and explain how I have kept this dream alive for 9+ months with less than 5k in the original T2T bank account. If
I figure instead of telling you about my great week, I might as well show you. Here’s how it played out… MONDAY: Buenos Aires contemporary artist shmorgishborg @ ArteBA ’10 Monday afternoon I went down to La Rural in Plaza Italia to soak up some much needed culture. The coolest thing about
Yesterday marked the 9-month point along this incredible adventure. As I reflect back on the whole experience all I can think about is… shit, time has gone by fast. I could of had a kid in that time. However, at my mother’s request I’m still baby-free, loving life and trying to
With the World Cup in full throttle and Argentina ready to crush Germany on Saturday, I figured there was no candidate more deserving of the T2T Hall of Fame honor than Argentine forward, Carlos Tevez.
