Remember Cruella? Finally, the saga comes to an end… sort of. A few months ago, I wrote about my evil landlady Cruella. I then shared her bizarre rules and how she was monitoring my toilet paper usage. The last thing I wrote about Cruella was how she kicked me out and changed the lock only […]
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 […]
My Delicious Splurge in Buenos Aires
Okay, so this is not a splurge by most people’s standards. But with my $1000 a month budget, Buenos Aires is hard for a girl, especially a girl who loves good food. And I’m not talking about pizza and empanadas. When I say good food, I mean creative, reasonably healthy, and something you could classify […]
My First Taxi Crash in Buenos Aires
I do not normally take taxis because I do not like to spend the extra money when my feet are working fine or there is a bus option. But it was cold and dark outside, and I was running a little late, so I decided to treat myself to a taxi ride. My destination was […]
Oh, The Places I’ll Go
On the way to Colonia for my first border run, my friend Jeff and I started talking about our passport stamps. He mentioned the need to get some more pages sewn into his passport. Then I realized that with the number of countries I have left in my Latin America adventure, I would run out […]
Russian Cocaine in Buenos Aires?
I went to my first “Argentine party.” It was a party for an Argentine who graduated from law school. This post is not about the random guitar/ singing that broke out for hours in the overly-crowded living room (including some Guns ‘n Roses). This post is not about the massive consumption of Fernet and Coke […]
My New Apartment: Frisky Kitties & Cold Trips to the Bathroom
I have had many homes in Buenos Aires. Some good. Some bad. I lived in a hostel so long (6 weeks) that it earned the label of home. (There were actually 2 other hostels before that, but I couldn’t take more than a few days in each.) I had the misfortune of renting a room […]
