I saw this on X today. Looks like Digital nomads are starting to post on Tik Tok now. I know they have been but I have noticed a trend that when it really picks up steam, more and more come. I'm not saying this is good or bad but typically they drive prices up. I went to Palermo Soho today for the first time in a while and I was amazed it is all English speaking now.

Buenos Aires is a LONG HAUL from the USA. I doubt it will get too popular. Prices are definitely cheaper vs. USA but it also is tough to make money here. True digital nomads can live pretty good here but there are cheaper places and prices are probably heading up as well if Milei works his magic.

If you avoid touristy restaurants you can avoid crazy prices but it all adds up. It is cheaper than the USA for sure but for locals making pesos food here is very expensive relative to wages.

Some great scenery. I wonder if they bring their own drone. The footage is beautiful. This is the Buenos Aires we all know and love. I don't think it is a bad thing that more tourism results from this.

Nice and beautiful Buenos Aires. I always love when people fall in love with Buenos Aires just like I did over 20 years ago. It's still one of my favorite cities in the world. I am glad to see so many foreigners there that also fall in love with it. And great the locals all seem to love the fact that tourists love it there too.

food is expensive, relative to wages, in just about every part of the world right now.

I agree. Restaurant prices in the United States in some cities is crazy. I do agree for locals it must be very expensive as their wages are so low.

Not sure where these cheap 3 bedroom houses he are talking about. I've found that most of these passport bro Tik Tok's have never been to Argentina.
Agree with you. I laugh when I hear some of these prices.

Tik Tok posts on Buenos Aires are nothing new. There are a lot of great content on Tik Tok. I love watching them.
It does really look like the "Paris of South America" in this Tik Tok and others I watched like it. And in those Tik Tok's I don't see any dog poop which is encouraging!

I wish Argentina was this cheap as they portray in the video!
Crazy lies. Buenos Aires isn't anywhere near this cheap. Buenos Aires is almost as expensive as some places in USA now for many things. Look at the price of toilet paper. Many restaurants in Palermo Soho are the same prices as many places in USA and more expensive than many places in Europe.
Look at the prices of restaurants in 2022. It was only $6 USD for 2 people. Now it is crazy expensive.
