I decided to do a series on odd jobs in Buenos Aires because ,well, I find some of the jobs I’ve seen people doing here quite interesting. If you travel to Buenos Aires on one of those cheap holiday offers, you will definitely notice the first odd job featured in this post. The first odd […]
Spring is Here!
My first week back in Buenos Aires included a great wine event and a food expo at La Rural. What more could a girl want? How about amazing weather. Part of my decision to visit home was related to the weather. It was the middle of Winter in Buenos Aires, and it was Summer in […]
3 Strategies to Taste the Best Wines at a Wine Expo
If you’ve read my previous posts, you know that much of my time here has revolved around drinking wine and eating food. So guess what I did my first week back in Buenos Aires. My first weekend here, there were two events that I HAD TO ATTEND!! It is as if the La Rural exposition […]
Buenos Aires Sucks You In
I have lived in Buenos Aires for four months. I have met many expats who have come here for a long-term visit to “try out” the city… And they never leave. After living here for four months, I totally get it. Buenos Aires sucks you in. You always feel as if there is so much […]
Gallery Nights in Buenos Aires
I have written before about the great art in Buenos Aires. I have visited quite a few galleries and attended multiple art events. There are so many options to choose from in this city, and most are free. The importance and accessibility of art is one of the reasons I love this city. When I […]

Tango Is Not for Me
Remember how I learned to salsa dance in Quito and Nicaragua? Remember how much I loved it and even made a video because I was so proud of myself? I wanted to learn to tango in Buenos Aires. Well, I did try. But I suck. Tango is really hard. I do not enjoy it nearly […]
Graffiti Art in Buenos Aires – Off the Beaten Path
After my Graffiti Bike Tour, I really wanted to discover more graffiti art in Buenos Aires. Jonny from Graffitimundo told me about two places in the barrio of Saavedra to see some great works. My friend Jeff from Lengthy Travel is also a big fan of graffiti art, so we packed our cameras and hopped […]
Campo in the City
I am a city girl, but I do enjoy the country. I am looking forward to exploring the campo (countryside) in Argentina. While staying in Buenos Aires, I got a little taste of the country at the Feria de Mataderos just a 45-minute bus ride from Palermo. At the end of July, I got an […]
Screw You And Your Cubierto
I am used to paying cubierto at restaurants in Buenos Aires. I don’t even mind that much. Cubierto is the cover/ service charge for dining at a restaurant. You are essentially paying for the privilege of siting at a table and getting service, and you usually get a basket of bread. In Buenos Aires, it […]
