expat

I just turned 64 last week. Been retired for a couple years. The kids are all grown and living their lives, the brother I took care of for many years passed away, and I just have no reason NOT to pull up stakes and start over somewhere new. As a travel agency owner for 20 years, I had the...

We all know digital nomads but have you ever met an expat in BA for some interesting reason? Any stories to tell? My one story would be an American I met here. He was gay and from an extremely wealthy but conservative and bigoted family. His family basically told him we will give you...

I initially planned to go to Buenos Aires and find an apartment in the Palermo neighborhood. However, I've changed my mind for a few reasons including all of you saying there is too much dog poop everywhere. Now, I'm thinking of staying in a hotel (that smells nice) for a few weeks while I...

I used to come to Buenos Aires many times but then stopped over COVID but it sounds like things are back to normal now. I am selling my apartment in Madrid and thinking about moving to Buenos Aires. I have so many things I love about Buenos Aires. It was very affordable and looks much...

Do I detect a change in the attitudes of expats? Any post critical of problems in Argentina used to be met with emotional denials, insistence that life in BA was a virtual paradise. I now sense general agreement that the crime and inflation situations are very serious. Those who argue otherwise...

I am thinking about moving to Buenos Aires. I am fluent in Spanish but I wouldn't even think about trying to survive in Buenos Aires without having my remote job in the USA. I live on the East Coast and the time difference is very minor. I would most likely buy a place as I don't want to...

I'm aware that there are older discussions on this topic, but I'm interested in finding out if there have been any recent changes or updates. As an EU citizen with an EU passport, I'm particularly curious to learn if having a local (or Argentine) address is necessary to initiate a bank account...

Hello, I'm currently in Buenos Aires for an extended stay and am eager to connect with fellow expats. I'd love to meet people who are living here, as I'm considering spending more time in the city over the next few years. Building a network of connections would be immensely comforting. Please...
