During the train ride on my day trip to Tigre, we passed several cute little towns. One of those towns is San Isidro. I was told that it is has cobblestone streets, a large cathedral, and a weekend crafts market. I was looking for some new scenery for photography inspiration and wanted to get away […]
I Finally Left Buenos Aires
I have finally left Buenos Aires. Well, not the province or even Greater Buenos Aires but what they call La Capital. Since I had to move into a hostel for a week between apartments, I decided that this would be my week of day trips. It was super easy. Hopped on a train for the […]
Saying Goodbye
When Cruella kicked me out, I moved into an apartment with Ayngelina. She is a travel blogger from Canada with whom I have been in contact for several months. I believe I first discovered her site Bacon is Magic when I was in Quito, Ecuador suffering miserable rain and cold and probably feeling a little […]
Happy Birthday To Me!
It is Winter in Buenos Aires. It does not snow, but it is quite cold. In order to survive, I had to go shopping. But this chica is on a budget and living out of a backpack. I wanted cheap and functional. I soon found out that this is not possible in Buenos Aires. The […]
On My Birthday: Remembering Younger Travels
Yea! It’s my birthday! Those of you who know me probably remember that I declare a full birthday week of celebration. But this year is special. This is the year I say goodbye to my 20s and enter a new decade. Or is that special? What is special for me this birthday is not really […]
My Little Wine Experiment: Can You Tell the Difference?
I have been to several wine tastings in Buenos Aires. After attending a tasting specifically for cheap wines, I got the idea to host a “blind” wine tasting. Basically, you don’t know which wine you are drinking or how much it costs. The goal of my little experiment was to see if people really can […]
A Museum Worth a Trip to the ‘Hood
Bus line 152 ended three blocks from my destination in La Boca. I was the only one left on the bus, and the driver shouted back at me, “Terminada!” Okay then. Off the bus. I immediately realized this was not a great part of town. I was not super-worried, since it was noon and there […]
The Most Gluttonous Night of My Life… So Far
I have outdone myself. I have had moments of gluttony before. There was the all-you-can-eat buffet at the Bellagio in Vegas where I was determined to taste every dessert (I believe there were at least 10). There were those annual feasts around Christmas-time with my friends from college when we would spend an evening indulging […]
Meeting Expats and Drinking Wine at 0800 Vino
Back home in Columbus, Ohio, I was a big fan of wine tastings or really any event that was an excuse to try new wines. I miss my girls nights and my book club nights, especially for the good company. I have discovered my place for good wine and good company in Buenos Aires. My […]
The Worst Tourist Trap in Buenos Aires
Without further ado…. it’s El Caminito. Okay, I know there are probably plenty of people who enjoyed an afternoon walking through El Caminito or a nice lunch at one of the overpriced restaurants. I am not against going to touristy places. After all, there is a reason those places attract tourists. I wanted to see […]
