In addition to the perfect location, the town is known for delicious chocolate and Swiss-style architecture. People come here for all sorts of outdoors adventure activities. In […]
Foto of the Week from … El Bolson – Patagonian Lamb
I was told by Jeff from Career Break Secrets that I had to try the lamb when I got to Patagonia. So I did. Cordero Patagónico I am not sure that I have ever had lamb before. This was pretty good (one of the few things you can get in Argentina that is not fried […]
How I Lived in Buenos Aires for $1000 a Month
When I first arrived in Buenos Aires back in March of this year, I was shocked by the prices. I had just finished traveling through Central America where I could get a night in a wonderful hostel for US$6 and a good meal for US$3.00. I had been to Buenos Aires back in 2009 for […]
An Evening of Luxury in Buenos Aires
I know that my time in Buenos Aires is coming to an end. I did not expect to be here this long. I was thrilled when I realized that I would still be in town for the best wine event of the year Vinos de Lujo (Luxury Wines). I have been to other wine tastings, […]
My First Argentine Asado
During my first four months in Buenos Aires, I never received an invite to an asado.

It got cold, and Portenos hibernate during late Fall and Winter. I was […]

Steak Extravaganza: Restaurant Review – El Obrero vs El Trapiche vs Manolo’s
One thing that is really great about Buenos Aires, is that you can get excellent steak for a cheap price. Everything else may be expensive, but a steak dinner is going to cost you much less than in the US. Since I am traveling on a budget, I do not eat out at restaurants very […]
Buena Birra in Buenos Aires
I have complained about the lack of good handcrafted beers in Latin America. I thought I would find a better selection when I got to Buenos Aires, but I was disappointed by my initial attempts to find good beer here. When I went home to Columbus, Ohio for a visit, I made it a point […]
