I get your point, but Milei and his team actually recognized their mistakes, which is more than what the Peronists usually do. They know that for October they need to show people that it’s not just about macroeconomics, the everyday struggles matter too. Admitting the defeat and learning from it...

Honestly, I still support Milei. This was just a wake-up call, he needs to adjust his strategy and messaging. The policies could still make a difference if he connects better with everyday people. On the other hand, this is how Kicillof thanks the people of Buenos Aires: He will start applying...

I just checked on the Ecobici app, for tourists, a 1-ride pass (up to 45 minutes) costs 2,100 ARS, and you can buy more than one per day. There’s also a 1-day pass for 15,000 ARS, which gives you unlimited trips of up to 90 minutes each in 24 hours. If you go over the time limit, you get a...

That channel is super helpful! I also follow a podcast called ‘Expat Life Argentina’, they cover everything from renting apartments to cultural differences.

Super simple: think of it like the party preliminaries. You pick your favorite candidates within each party, and the winners move on to the general election. Anyone with an Argentine DNI can vote, it’s not just for locals.

As a fluent speaker, you have to get away from all things English and connect with only locals in Buenos Aires. Go out with them meet their families, music movies news all in Spanish. I noticed a 180 degree difference when I made this chance vs Just taking the classes!

If you’ve seen the series El Marginal, you should definitely check out the new one En el Barro. I finished it yesterday and honestly, it’s really good, definitely worth watching. It also has a lot of typical Argentine slang and expressions (the kind only Argentinians would fully get). I really...

I love La Alacena Trattoria, their pasta is easily some of the best in the city. The vibe is cozy too, not pretentious at all. https://maps.app.goo.gl/TfsVuPmjC8bb491S6

Hey, here’s something I found interesting: Argentina now leads all of Latin America in cryptocurrency ownership, with 19.8% of the population holding some kind of crypto. More than Brazil and El Salvador! What’s wild is that most of this growth comes from younger people (18 - 35), with almost...

So… Trump’s new tariff scheme kicked in Friday, and guess what? Uruguay and Argentina somehow ended up in the “low damage” category with just a 10% surcharge. That’s way less than Brazil’s brutal 50%, Canada’s 35%, or even the “standard” 15% that most countries got. Uruguay’s president says 10%...

Flybondi is great if you want to save money and don’t mind giving up some services. It’s low cost, so no premium comfort.

I assume you never had to apply for a B1/B2 or even a C1/D visa? The paperwork and gurdles you have to get through is a lot. And.., you have to apply in person.

Yes, totally! This is huge news for Argentines, they’re getting their “golden ticket” back to the U.S. after more than 20 years of having to apply for a visa. The not-so-great part? It’s going to take 2 or 3 years to actually happen… but it’s still a pretty strong symbolic move for Milei in...

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for a weekend getaway within 2 hours of Buenos Aires City. Ideally somewhere surrounded by nature, where we can relax but also do some fun activities like horseback riding, hiking, or maybe even some water activities if there’s a river or lake nearby...

I think a lot of people have left. The cost of living has gone up so much that the financial incentive isn’t there anymore. Back in 2021-2022 you could live comfortably on a modest income from abroad, but now the gap has closed. If you don’t have local ties or a strong reason to stay, it’s tough.

you’re just scratching the surface , you're missing out on a whole world of alfajores! I recently tried Rasta alfajores and... dear god, they’re dangerously good. Total addiction. I think they’re handmade in small batches, and the dulce de leche inside is next level , super rich and creamy. If...

I’m not really the target market for either, but my wife has been ordering from both for a few months now, and I’ve become the official “customs guy” in the house. 😅 Shein: She mostly gets clothes and accessories. The quality is hit or miss, but some pieces surprised us for the price. Shipping...

Totally agree. Many business owners still think raising prices is the only way to survive, but in reality, they end up pushing away the few customers who still shop in person. Instead of adapting by lowering margins and increasing volume, they stick to inefficient setups and prices that don’t...

I’ve been going to Depi4ever in Palermo Soho. Super professional, really clean, and they’re totally fine working with male clients. I didn’t speak much Spanish at first, but one of the girls speaks decent English and made me feel really comfortable. For me, it took around 8 sessions to see...

A friend’s cousin just started working at Globant. He’s in tech, and apparently it completely changed his life. He can actually save money, travel, and has better benefits than most people I know here. I was told that in job interviews, they even ask: “Are you aiming for one of the big ones?”...
