Argentina and its people have always struck as smart, socially active, and vibrant! I cannot wait to go and spend a good amount of time there. Thank you, Travis and Nicolas, for this insightful and well produced video. ❤
Love this Travis! The reason this new channel direction is going to succeed is because you are letting someone else do the talking. You are actually seeking out people with something to say and then getting out of their way. Well done.
Just another fellow argentinian here. The story changes depending on who you ask, as always. I would encourage you to interview a person who is not so obviusly "peronist". There is more to cover than the interview allows. Great channel and content btw!

Sabias que algunas veces en el pasado se tomaron medidas bastante sensatas pero no se siguió con una concordancia a distintos niveles?

I've been watching the video for a few minutes, and I can tell you that tourism generates income for the country, and that caring about doing the right thing is appreciated, and to go deeper you could talk to different Argentines with different political orientations, and in the process get to know other parts from Argentina that can be equally or more beautiful
Having tourists coming to Argentina is great for us and our economy! as Nico said, it's never the individual to blame but the system! It's not you as an individual that will cause a gentrification crisis but the absence of government regulation will.
Argentina suffered decades under a fascist regulatory state, we don't need that anymore, we need economic freedom. Even with regulations gentrification can happen, or what? Are you going to deny a right to a resident? If he or she wants to buy an apartment and live there you can't be so fascist and authoritarian to forbid that and if you put lots of ridiculous building restrictions and regulations and forbid the sell of the US Dollar in a dollarised market like in Argentina you'll be breaking a whole economic engine which is construction and no matter what you do real estate prices will go up for a while because there aren't new buildings being built and until no-one can buy anything because no one has dollars to buy one and there is when the prices will go down and even so nobody will have the dollars to buy
Great video Travis! I always like Mark Twain's quote about travel, and I think it applies here as well: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.”
The guy is pretty impatient. After so many years of decay a turn to free markets with growth does take time. He should’ve mentioned inflation which is falling massively.
You are finding your "new" channel's voice. I live in Merida, so already familiar with the fine quality of your content, but love seeing and benefitting from your evolution. Great guest with way more authority than me but I'm hoping for Melei and Argentina - these problems will take time and sacrifice to solve. Visited Argentina in the 90s and it still calls - amazing country, people, food, and culture. I'm rooting for them and planning to visit again in upcoming year. Viva Argentina!
Many people do get upset with travellers, no matter where they go. I get this stuff too, from friends and family. No place is immune from gentrification or tourist woes. But lovely vlogs like yours can only help up understand, and take the fear out of seeing certain places. At the end of the day, people will travel, with or without the opinions of others. Keep being you, you are a delight to follow.
El sujeto al que le respondiste es un murguero, es bien conocido que todos esos son zurdos en especial kirchneristas, en carnaval anda y mira, todos tienen algo referido al kirchnerismo, esta contaminado con zurdismo y no ve la realidad @@adrianalaleona874
You clearly didn't get an experts opinion. This guy does not know what he is talking about. Argentina's problems didn't start with President Macri, but much before. We are dragging a problem that started in the 1970's and never ended. Its a much more complex problem that has multiple causes and repercutions. But one of the worst problems is political corruption that makes imposible to get out of the vicious circle in which Argentina is trapped.
I'm always fascinated by content creators obsession with the comment section. It's usually like 1% of the viewers. Some people have good intentions and many do not. In fact, many are children/teens with access to the internet, but no real understanding of how the world works. I don't know why worrying about those small amounts of people truly matters. Make the content you want and focus on the positive people that are here for it.
There's also the distinct possibility that many of the bad comments are from bots that are programmed to sow conflict. Either way, best to ignore the trolls - both virtual and actual versions.
Most people that voted for Milei (me included) understands that change is not something you achieve easily or quickly. Most of what Nicolas is telling you is an over-simplification of Milei's policies, and no, education and healthcare budgets weren't cut where they matter. Keep in mind that the opposition Nicolas supports is the exact same people that put us in this situation to start with, so you don't want them back. Inflation is quickly slowing down and salaries are starting to slowly recover, people have hope.
I'm happy you mention being in a subset of a subset of a subset of the best part of the country. This is what caught me up so much in Argentina. I liked it so much because I was living a life that most people in the country couldn't dream of. I will definitely be back, but still struggling with how to reconcile that feeling.
That's not a subset of a subset of a subset of a zillion subsets.. those areas where most tourists stays are middle class accesible for most middle class people in the country, is not like a miserable country
Travis, ignore the negative Nellies. They are, at the end of the day, just jealous. Bottom line, tourism of any kind, in any country, brings in revenue. If a person didn't go to a particular country, no dollars would go there either. Simple as that. Keep up the good work.
The problem is your friend has a very clear bias towards a particular political sector (a.k.a. the Kirchners), so his whole explanation is useless. He literally says they did everything right and everyone else did everything wrong. His knowledge of the economy is very, very poor. The Kirchners were the source of the current economic debacle (especially Cristina). Sure, they paid the whole IMF debt, but the spent all of the Central Bank's reserves and after that, they started printing money even though anyone with basic economic knowledge will know that causes inflation. And not only that, but their governments were plagued by corruption scandals and many other shady dealings (like manipulating the inflation statistics or not reporting poverty statistics when the economy started to go south). And yet your friend doesn't say anything at all about that. And he also says that the current government is doing everything wrong when most serious economists, both local and international, agree in that he's taking the necessary steps to put the economy back on track after the disaster left over from the previous administrations.
Corruption scandals magnified by a press "at war" with the govermwnt, as they themselves recognized. Auch "scandals", even when true, pale against the mega financial fraud of Macri government and with the swlling out of the country that it is happening right now in front of wveryone's eyes
No le pagaron todo al FMI, pagaron para no caer en default y conseguir más tiempo y correr al FMI para conseguir más deuda, cuando fueron a pedir un préstamo al FMI se lo negaron y por eso demonizan a ese organismo que es el último lugar donde recurren los países parias que nadie le presta ni media moneda.. imagínate la imagen que tenían de los Kirchner qué le negaron un préstamo
Nice! Thank you for perspective. Let's hope the world will turn sane again soon. Keep up what your are doing, if it is agitating some people, then so be it. You are doing the right thing.
Hi Travis, almost everything Nicolás said is either wrong or misleading. I can name three examples without needing much explanation: 1) "Everything started with the debt that Macri...". He conveniently forgot to mention that Argentina hasn't seen economic growth since 2011 (Cristina Kirchner). 2) "The Kirchners paid off all the debt." "That’s true but, it’s important to consider that this payment represented less than 8% of the country’s external debt. It was possible not because of the Kirchners' management of the economy but due to the exponential rise in commodity prices globally, especially soy. The extra income motivated the Kirchners to pursue monetary policies that, when commodity prices fell, left a financial deficit they were never able to resolve." 3) "Argentina had the highest salary in Latin America in dollar terms." This is misleading because, while it's true that if you look it up, you'll see that we had the highest salary, it’s only if you use the official exchange rate as a reference (which, as you know, was not freely accessible, with limits on how much one could buy). This rate doesn’t reflect the real value of the dollar. These are just three examples, but I could mention many more, especially when he talks about the new president. In that case, he outright omits key facts. If you ask him "why?" twice on the same topic, he either doesn't know the answer, or the answer is "because it’s a problem created by the previous administration or the Kirchnerist political line."
Some interesting questions you raise here. And having your friend come in and talk about Argentina clears up a lot for people who don’t have any idea what’s going on there or in most places. As you know, I’ve been following you since your Yucatan days. I think what I learned from you were insights and a different perspective on places that I was familiar with even when I speak the language. It holds true with other bloggers I follow. I don’t travel as far and wide as I once did. You are adding to the economy because you were spending money there. The naysayers on social media are almost amusing in the depth of their ignorance. So I agree with the guy below who told you just keep on doing it. There are people like me who have followed you for a long time who look forward to whatever you produce, and as you know from time time I write and make comments to you. Arriba Travis!
You're the best for sticking with me this long, Bill! And you're absolutely right - some people (mostly on TikTok) are verrrry amusing in their ignorance. But happy to have this amazing community of viewers on TH-cam!
Nicolas is very kind, he speaks English very well but he has such a large ideological component that it made him hide the true causes of the crisis... I do not speak English well nor do I have the only truth but I'm going to tell you a little about why we are in crisis from my point of view, emphasizing the things that him hides or doesn't know, so between both stories, maybe you can understand everything a little better, but I will do it in total Spanish, TH-cam can translate.. i'll continue writting down here in my own answer.. 😊
El comienzo de la historia que cuenta se puede tomar como está pero luego cuando cuenta sobre el gobierno de la familia Kichner tendré que agregar muchas cosas porque ahí comienza la nueva gran crisis nuestra alrededor de 2013 en adelante.. la crisis de 2001 hizo que en 2002 haya un ajuste muy grande de 7 puntos del pbi para equilibrar los gastos y ese año la crisis se profundiza mucho pero al empezar a crecer nuevamente a fin de 2002 y principio de 2003 argentina consigue superavit fiscal y eso le permite luego al nuevo presidente Nestor K poder administrar las cuentas con más tranquilidad, ese superavit termina unos años después con la llegada de su esposa Cristina K ella cree que gobernar con deficit no es un problema entonces empieza a aumentar los gastos pero sin hacer crecer los ingresos, cuando ellos pagan la deuda del FMI lo hacen tomando deuda interna (deuda pública) entonces la deuda en realidad solo cambio de nombre, en esos años también tuvimos la suerte que las cotizaciones de las materias primas estaban muy bien en el mundo y a través de la soja nuestras reservas crecían, en 2010 había aproximadamente 54billones de dólares de reservas brutas con un país bastante estable, pero en esa época el gobierno continuo incrementando el gasto cada vez más sobre la recaudación, ya para 2013 aproximadamente el desequilibrio fiscal ya empezaba a impactar en el país, ellos lo financiaban imprimiendo moneda y cuando ese exceso de moneda iba a la calle hacia crecer el valor del dólar alejándonos de la estabilidad que teníamos, luego esto empieza a generar grandes problemas y corridas bancarias duplicando el valor del dólar entonces para frenar la subida empezó a regular las salidas de los dólares poniendo cepos, estos hizo que por un lado el valor del dólar oficial se triplique volviendo a generar inflación pero peor aún al tratar de frenar las subidas del dólar poniendo cepos de venta entonces los mercados informales empezaron a marcar el termómetro real del valor del dólar, osea una cotización paralela que acá llamamos dólar blue, al continuar con esa políticas mes a mes fue perdiendo todas las reservas del banco central hasta llegar al 2015 con reservas netas negativas, más allá de tener el banco central quebrado, la deuda pública no paro de crecer por haber gobernado siempre con déficit alto, el déficit en 2015 llego a los 7 puntos del pbi aproximadamente similar a la crisis de 2001, la deuda que en 2007 era aproximadamente de 170billones de dólares paso a 250billones de dólares aproximadamente y además tuvimos un default en 2014 que en 2015 rondaba los 3billones de dólares pero luego de las sentencias de esas demandas por no querer pagarles creció a 15billones de dólares al años siguiente, todo esto fue el inicio de la crisis, deuda grande, déficit muy alto, banco central quebrado y dos valores del dolar porque uno llamado oficial estaba fuera de la realidad manteniendose a fuerza de vender las reservas de dólares del banco central pero al quebrar en 2015 entonces el dólar oficial que rondaba los 9pesos por dolar tuvo que saltar a 15pesos por dólar tomando el valor paralelo informal que ya traía desde 2014, luego viene Macri y el por un lado soluciona el problema de los dos tipos de cambio para el dólar, pero decide no ajustar el gasto de 7 puntos de pbi por encima de la recaudación para no pagar el costo político que genera hacer un ajuste tan grande, mientras viajaba por el mundo buscando inversiones tratando de hacer crecer el pbi para evitar ajustar cosa que no consiguió, entonces el nivel de deuda alto que ya teníamos más la falta de reservas termino de explotar en 2018 dónde gran parte de la deuda heredada tenía que pagarse, al generarse una corrida bancaria por grandes vencimientos pero sin reservas quedamos en la puerta de una hiperinflación y entonces para ni financiar ese deuda emitiendo más moneda y evitar más devaluación de la que ya estaba habiendo en ese momento entonces toma deuda con el FMI al 4% anual algo muy favorable ya que esas tasas bajas eran impensadas, pero lo que no fue bueno es el total de la deuda que tomo 45billones de dólares.. luego de ese préstamo además ajusta el gran déficit heredado y estanca el país más de lo que ya estaba, pero como punto a favor termina su gobierno con las cuentas nuevamente equilibradas y alrededor de 44 billones de dólares en reservas, luego viene el gobierno de Fernández que enfrentó la pandemia y más allá de que tenia la deuda del Fmi a sus espaldas nunca realizó ningún pago solo la refinancio para más adelante, su gobierno fue pésimo solo se dedico a financiarse emitiendo moneda y tomando deuda pública elevando la deuda total del país en más de 100billones de dólares.. bueno solo quise hacer un pequeño resumen, luego llega Milei pero recién arranca el heredo una crisis gigante sin comparacion a la heredada por macri y la heredada por fernandez asique nuevamente tuvo que hacer un ajuste grande para evitar seguir financiandose emitiendo moneda ya que a comienzo de año ya estábamos adentro de una hiperinflación técnicamente que gracias a Dios se pudo salir pero con estancamiento economico por reducir la cantidad de pesos en circulación que incentivan a la crecida inflacionaria.. Posiblemente Nicolás lea esto o cualquier otra persona quiera discutir algún punto en particular, todo se puede justificar googleando datos oficiales del ministerio de economia o Banco central de argentina, saludos!

Hey Travis, great video!! It was very insightful and l liked that you were able to find footage on Argentina's previous monetary decisions and that Nicolas spoke with passion about his country!! Stay blessed and be a blessing 😊😊
Very interesting to hear Nicholas explain the Argentinian economy. I already knew his answer when you described the topic, traveling is not hurtful to the economy of a country. People will always throw "gentrification" around, a lot of the time when it is not merited, because some folks aren't happy unless they are complaining. Great video!
@@TravelWTravisNo, you ruined my Sunday putting that guy on your channel, at least you should warn that there's a leftist trying to brainwash you in your video so we decide either to see it or not
I'm not sure travelers as in short stays are going to affect prices overall, the fact of traveling does increase people doing Airbnb instead of long term affordable rentals tho, that's going to be everywhere you go if a government or city doesn't regulate it. People like to think nobody outside of their north American or western European have money, but lots of people in Latin American countries aren't just well off they are filthy stinking rich. Big houses, malls and fancy restaurants aren't priced for foreign travelers, they are priced for the wealthy citizens
Travis, I feel confident that You're aware that gentrification is caused, in part, by corporate owned short-term rentals listed on AirB$B, VRBO, etc, escalating real estate prices in older urban intown neighborhoods. The short-term rentals is not new. In fact, it is a hybrid of the former Boarding Houses of earlier eras that enabled many grandparents, or widows to afford to stay in the 2-story, 4/5br, 2/3ba homes they raised their family. The prudent solution, as I see it, is to limit short-term rentals to Single-family, Owner-OCCUPIED residences. Exempt these "Boarding Houses" from local zoning laws, and keep the property tax as a Single-family residence. Not only would this maintain the cohesiveness of the neighborhood, but, it help stabilize property values. It worked for generations. What say, ye?
I go to Europe often..went to the US for the first time last year and honestly I do not see or feel anything that would make me quit living in BA and move to..I dont know..Berlin, Paris or LA. Actuslly, I found this city better in many aspects. To start with cleanliness and social cohesion. In spite of the crisis you dont see as many homeless people, sketchy characters, people completely on drugs on many streets etc. There was some feeling of "decademce" in some places, which is worse than just an economic crisis that sooner or later will end. I dont know if this decadence has to do with some complacency from people from Western Europe or the US (thinking they are already too rich and therefore nothing can change that) or out of control migration that is changing the social fabric, but you can feel it.
With due respect, you need to interview someone who has a minimal level of education and understanding of the country's problems, instead of a person who just repeats things he sees and hears without understand causal effect and root cause behind all of that. Milei inherited a country with -15% of fiscal deficit when you count the treasury + central bank finances.....-15%!!!!! And that huge hole in the accounts was being filled by reckless money printing (given that absolutely nobody was willing to lend money to such reckless administration....) which led to a 271% of annual inflation in 2023....and accelerating dangerously fast when Milei took office in December....bringing the country to the verge of hyperinflation meltdown .....which would have been a catastrophic scenario bringing over 90% of people into poverty.......so Milei had to take a very radical shift in economic policy making a dramatic adjustment in spending to eliminate the deficit and balance the accounts immediately, and he said that very clearly both in the campaign and at his inauguration, and all along since, because that was the only way to avoid disaster.....and he said that this was going to very tough and that poverty would be increased, same with unemployment and other social trends....in the short term....and we are still in the short term...it is only 6 months + since he started......2025 will be a different year where all the hardship the country is going through will start paying off.....because when you cut money printing you bring inflation under control....when you bring inflation under control....salaries gradually start strengthening in real terms....and very importantly.....credit lending start flowing in the banking system....something not seen in Argentina since 2017.......due to the inflation problem......and plus once the bill to be passed by congress in the next days comes into effect then big investment will start to kick in as this bills provides legal certainty and tax incentives for big investment to flow into the country......in summary.....the situation is awful because the last administration left literally an atomic bomb just about to explore in the country.....and Milei had to take extreme measures to prevent that from happening.....it would be good that this man talks about the fact that for the presidential campaign, the minster for finance and candidate for the presidency that Milei defeated, spent the equivalent of 3% of the GDP (in a country with -15% deficit!!!!) to win votes and try to win the election....that is the level of recklessness, irresponsibility and evil the previous government had....and now the whole country is paying for that "party"....it would be good the interviewer learns a little more then truth!!!
It was interesting to get a local's perspective as I don't know anyone living there. Haven't been there yet but I'd love to check it out. I always thought of the country as challenging for a vegan to visit.
Hi hope ur channel does well, this guy who gave u a rundown of Argentina's economic rollercoaster, gives a very disturbing distorted view. He tries to connect the 40 year disaster to President Macri. This however is a classic liberal view. Hope you reach out to someone who doesn't have his vision.
You are really a kind person but unfortunately your friend does a lot of harm with his words, especially among your foreign viewers who don't really know about Argentina.. And they will think this country is a no cure disaster, to avoid if possible. He says he studied history.. girl... He of course supports peronism, kirchnerism and he tells you half of the story.
@@capitandelespacio2tipo se nota y le echa la culpa a Macri cuando la Cristina y Néstor eran terribles corruptos robaron y defraudaron al estado murió un fiscal incluso y Cristina Néstor Macri Alberto y Massa deberían todos estar tras las rejas de por vida
Great video. Just a few points to mention. The easy answer to the question of whether it is ok to travel here would be yes. Is always great to have tourists in our country and we Argentinians are very happy to have people here, we are proud of our country, we are proud of our people, and our culture, and we want to share it with the world. Now, one thing travelers must think about is how you travel and live here if you wish. Something not mentioned in this video is the exchange rate. A lot of tourists/TH-camrs/digital nomads know that the unofficial exchange rate is very very convenient for foreigners, you can get up to 60% more pesos for each us dollar at an unofficial exchange rate. So yeah, is easy to come here and live like a king with 2000 USD a month. Your rent will be half the price of your country, you will live in a nicer neighborhood, and you can get amazing dinners for 40-80 USD. But most Argentinians don't make more than 400-500 USD a month, they can't pay rent above 300 USD a month, and they have to live with 100 to 200 USD a month for groceries and services. They don't go out to eat, they drink cheap wine and eat cheap meat. What is great about this country is that even the cheapest wine and cheapest meat are greater than most countries. Try to live with the average salary or even double the salary of an average Argentinian, and you will know how we struggle to progress in this country. Also, this is not a problem of one government or another. This is a problem of all past governments, full of corruption and bad decisions. That story told by the tour guide is very one-sided, although I agree with some things that he said. In the case of Buenos Aires, mostly CABA is a bubble. And neighborhoods like Palermo, Belgrano, Recoleta, etc, are bubbles of a bubble. Most people that live there earn pretty high above the average income in Argentina, so yeah, is pretty nice to walk around there, and have dinner from time to time there. But average people, don't live there, they live 2 hours apart on public transportation, and a lot of them have to commute 4 hours a day just to work and earn something that isn't a shit salary. So next time someone comes here, think about how little your waiter is earning (200-300 USD a month usually) to make your 40-50 dollar meal affordable. Think about how many people don't know what a 10usd wine tastes like. Enjoy our country, enjoy our people, enjoy our food and culture. But don't stay in the bubble, we who live outside that bubble, sometimes live even happier and nicer outside of the bubble. That's the secret of why Argentinian people are really nice, humble and happy. The waiter that serves you that nice wasn't born in Palermo or Recoleta, they probably were born in another province. There is a lot more Argentina than the one shown in most of the videos. Thank you for making these videos and coming.
@@martymctirri3227 He shouldn't. These are just examples of the reality that people in this country live in, and the shortcomings that the people face vs what a digital nomad can experience living here.
The answer is simple, no. You are not creating any problems. And even if ZERO foreigners go to a country, some areas in some cities will be "gentrified" anyways. Not everyone can live in Palermo or Belgrano R in Buenos Aires or Brickell in Miami or Chelsea in London. Its just the way it is. And rent is a problem in all major cities where many people wanna live. Most cities have other areas that are still nice and cheaper and also areas close by but outside the city. And as for prices, some areas will always be very expensive, that didnt start now and will never go away.
Don't believe what that guy told you about Argentina history, he clearly has slanted political opinion due to being in favour of the party that lead Argentina into crisis. That view is the one we are leaving and thats why our country is starting to bloom again, most of the things he told you about are probably lies
bro he took the socialist/peronist aproach and wasnt objective. if the goverments he defends are so good why argentina after 80 years of peronismo and its deformartions (kirchner) has been left to milei with half of the country poor,registered employment on total decay,and a hiper inflationary crisis with the federal reservs -12.000.000.000$(usd)?
Very partial side of the story... don´t agree with what Nicolás said. It clearly shows he has a political preference as a peronist/kirchnerist. Those policies he defends have been around for a century (the very same century that got us from being the richest country, meassured in per capita GDP, to one of the poorest). That´s why people here voted for a change. I strongly recommend you interview someone else so as to hear a different perspective. Great videos by the way, keep them coming!
This tour guide person could not have explained the true facts better. I am an an American born non Argentine who has lived and visited Argentina for the last 22 years. I work for an Airline and have wife and kids living there.
please youtube do not cancel or censor my commentary, there is nothing harmful in it, I am a democrat, the opposite of the discourse expressed in this video.
Hello, I am so glad you are enjoying our country. But let's get straight to the point. When I saw that you were going to talk to an Argentinian who was going to explain the problems of the country.... Well, I got worried. You said it was someone who did tours, I got more worried. You said he was an anthropology professor, and I got even more worried. 🤣 I quickly confirmed my fears... you talked to a representative of the Argentine “left”. So, everything he told you, is wrong. According to them, all the country's problems are due to “the damn right”. And they put you Macri as guilty of EVERYTHING... when he only governed for one term. But they forget to say that they, the “left”, ruled the country for almost 80 years. But of course... Macri is to blame for everything. And now Milei. You can choose to believe them... or investigate the opinions of the other side. Greetings, and welcome to the country!
I would've watched the whole way through, but when he said "it all started with the debt Macri took" then I already knew where the rest is headed. As a 32 yo argentinian I like your videos but this ain't it for me chief.
The argentinians have a hope now , whit a his new president , i live in sweden but if Argentina changes , i'll come again ....but now whit peronistas ....never more .Peron and Nazis....that's not good.....never the peronistas talk abaout Peron and Nazis....or Maduro...
Explaining Argentina through the eyes of those who love Fidel Castro is a vision alienated from reality, it is unfortunate that you, the owner of the channel, have these references that are so extreme and biased by such a marginal ideology.
You interviewed a leftard, Argentina's decline started with Peron 80 years ago. You can tell he lies when he talks about 2001 big crisis that the big problems didn't started 8 years ago. Please, talk to a conservative economist, ergo, a smart person.
So many places with triple digit inflation turn to just garbage in the street and chaos. Is Argentina an outlier in this regard? I've been to Panama City, and yeah, some dirt and garbage even with a pretty healthy economy. But it seems (a lot) more than BA from the vids I've seen. Wondering why if that's really the case. Nothing against PC; I've made money there, and enjoyed some awesome restaurants. Very Americanized and very similar to Santa Ana, San Jose CR. Buenos Aires seems a lot more European. Why the difference I'm wondering.
That's such a great question and I wish I had asked Nicolas! Especially because they've had an inflation crisis for an extended period of time at this point. If I had to guess, I think it has something to do with still having strong unions representing those workers here, but definitely something to look into!
contrary to what was stated: A typical middle class neighborhood is Palermo, and around 80% of both the city and the metropolitan area (17M inhabitants) have a quality of life similar or higher than Palermo. Here is a broad view of all of Buenos Aires (City and suburbs) www.youtube.com/@FedSher/videos
Hey cool video, ik you put a lot of work, but i feel Nico is biased. I'm an argentinian, and as you said, there's a bubble in buenos aires, and specially in ciudad de buenos aires. And public universities in that city are like the most biased places ever to be in, so if you really want to get in touch with reality going to someone who's an academic on anthropology on the UBA living in Palermo is not really the best strat to break out of that bubble. I'd recommend talking with people outside that sphere if you want less politically biased views...
you got an absulutely biased guy making all the wrong diagnostic about the current situation in Argentina. He basically says that the leftist government of Kirchner did everything fairly well…. Absolutely misleading. The first governemt of kirchner was able to stabilize the country, but decadence started with the second government of Kirchner in 2008. The REAL reason of the argentinian drama is much more simple. It is a country that for decades, has been spending more that what they collect. Just simple as that. And if you spend more than what you colllect, the only way to finance yourself is: 1. either getting more and more debt 2. or printing money (which leads to hyperinflation). The country is broken and Milei had to cut spending. The country has in 6 months achieved fiscal balance. Leftist are very unhappy because of this because they have been used to have a lot of free social benefits. But the sad true is that there is no other way.
i hope you ve been enjoying our Country! The anthropologist you saw seems to me to have a more left-wing tendency, that is, he supports Kirchnerism, which is what created the disaster, not Macri. This disaster began in 2011 when Cristina Kirchner wanted to go above the institutions and remain in power forever. The economy reacted badly and she put a trap for the purchase of dollars that ruined many sectors that we depended on and are fundamental as is the purchase. housing and the place where Argentines save. All because in 2007 Nestor Kirchner fired the economy minister "Lavagna" who had a more traditional plan and who was the one who truly got us out of the crisis of 2001. Our problem was that they tried to establish 21st century socialism in Argentina, Macri's debt was not my cause, but a remedy for what was happening at that time. And the crisis of 2001 was caused by the theft of money from the Peronist political party 1 to 1, which was a solution to our problems with inflation and generated wealth that did not exist, and because it changed from a mostly status system to a private one. , they don't usually tell that. So the crisis in which a president resigned in 2001 was actually a civil coup d'état caused by Peronists. Cristina Kirchner put us in debt, but by "stealing" the money from retirees and Argentines, she increased much more than the debt with Macri. It's good to hear all the bells. Greetings from Argentina --‐------- El antropologo que viste, me parce que tiene tendencia mas de izquierda, o sea apoya al kirchnerismo que es em que creo el desastre, no Macri. Este desastre comenzo en el 2011 cuando cristina kirchner quizo pasar por arriba de las instituciones y quwdarse eternamente en el poderz la economía reacciono mal y ella puso un cepo para la compra de dólares que arruino muchos sectores que dependiamos y son fundamentales como lo es la compra de vivienda y el de el lugar donde los Argentinos ahorramos. Todo porque en el 2007 nestor kirchner echo al ministto de economía "Lavagna" que tenia un plan mas tradicional y quien fue el que verdaderamente nos saco de la crisis del 2001. Nuestro problema fue que trataron de instaurar el socialismo del siglo xxi en argentina, la deuda de Macri no fue ma causa, sino un remedio para lo que pasaba en ese momento. Y la crisis del 2001 estuvo provocada por el robo de dinero del partido politico peronista al 1 a 1 que fue una solución para nuestros problemas con la inflacion y genero una riquesa que no habia, y porque se cambio de un sistema mayoritariamente estatusta a uno privado, eso no lo suelen contar. Por lo que la crisis en que renuncio un presidente en el 2001, fue en realidad un golpe de estado civil provocado por loa peronistas. Cristina Kirchner nos endeudo, pero "robando" el dinero de los jubilados y de los Argentinos, aumento muchisimo mas que la deuda con Macri. Es bueno escuchar todas las campanas.
How is that Cristina Kirchner stole the money of the retired? When she saved the plummeting private retirement savings plans and consolidated the system with the creation of the guarantee sustainability fund (FGS). On the contrary, the system is being blown up right now.
Hello, you have to be careful with who you talk about Argentine history, you should know that here we are all very politicized and they will give you their version of history depending on their political position. For example, President Macri took on debt but many people will tell you that it was for pay the internal debt left by the previous government. So everything has a different color according to the party that each one chooses. I liked your video
Except it was not. The bigger part of the IMF loan was used in practice to pay for investors selling the public bonds fiesta that Caputo, Dujovne and co had extended over all limits, before the "reperfilamiento" de facto default and amidst the 2018-19 devaluations.
@@Vrealita No, it was not. Stop spreading misinformation leftard. The IMF loan was because you leave the country with negative reserves in the central bank.
@@Vrealita As you said most of it was used to pay for bonds. Those bonds weren't placed there by that administration, and defaulting would have been a worse choice than extending the bonds. But anyways, each one has its views on the subject.
@@sama32lambda The bonds were placed by that same Macri administration, as the previous one didn't have access to international markets. Dujovne himself recongised there was no debt issues at all when they took office, so that they could borrow as much as they wanted. And they did it. A lot.
omg it shouldn't be that way, people don't understand the problem is not the tourist, is the governors they probably voted! but.. well I don't see a nice future for Argentina in the short term..
From Argentina here. Totally agree with Nicolas' points of view. It's exactly as he says. Those who don't agree with him are Milei's voters. Argentina is a very rich country, its wealth is just badly distributed. We need a left-wing government to put the country upside down and get ahold of the main sources of income of the country. Huge private companies local and from abroad are now in power with Milei and they will only reap the benefits from our natural resources and leave nothing but devastation.
contrary to what was stated: A typical middle class neighborhood is Palermo, and around 80% of both the city and the metropolitan area (17M inhabitants) have a quality of life similar or higher than Palermo.

Argentina hasn't grow since 2011 and has continuosly run fiscal deficits since 2009. a GDP growth rate of just 1,8 per cent over the past half century. with OUR president MILEI economic activity rose 1.3 percent from April, above the 0.1 percent. Argentina is officialy out of recession after 7 months of Javier Milei's economic reforms after being in recession since a half a year before he got into office. Milei came in to wipe out all the dirty that the Kichneristas and Peronistas has done to this country for over 60 years, and we are witnessing it on the street and our life.
A couple of things to keep in mind. He's hiding a LOT of facts. Milei took office with an insane amount of debt (treasury), central bank debt, and unpaid bills from the previous government (w vice president Kirchner). Also "highest minimum wage" (not even close to hihgest average wage) whilst having a growing unregistered workforce that reached more than 50% so a lot of people weren't guaranteed anything with that minimum wage. I'm not saying milei is the way to go but this guy is clearly biased.

I've been watching the video for a few minutes, and I can tell you that tourism generates income for the country, and that caring about doing the right thing is appreciated, and to go deeper you could talk to different Argentines with different political orientations, and in the process get to know other parts from Argentina that can be equally or more beautiful
Having tourists coming to Argentina is great for us and our economy! as Nico said, it's never the individual to blame but the system! It's not you as an individual that will cause a gentrification crisis but the absence of government regulation will.
Thanks Sofia - I love it here ❤️❤️❤️
Argentina suffered decades under a fascist regulatory state, we don't need that anymore, we need economic freedom. Even with regulations gentrification can happen, or what? Are you going to deny a right to a resident? If he or she wants to buy an apartment and live there you can't be so fascist and authoritarian to forbid that and if you put lots of ridiculous building restrictions and regulations and forbid the sell of the US Dollar in a dollarised market like in Argentina you'll be breaking a whole economic engine which is construction and no matter what you do real estate prices will go up for a while because there aren't new buildings being built and until no-one can buy anything because no one has dollars to buy one and there is when the prices will go down and even so nobody will have the dollars to buy

I always like Mark Twain's quote about travel, and I think it applies here as well:
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.”

The guy is pretty impatient. After so many years of decay a turn to free markets with growth does take time. He should’ve mentioned inflation which is falling massively.
Is it? Everything I'm seeing says recent inflation in Argentina is 100 - 200%. Most countries aim for 2% inflation.

You clearly didn't get an experts opinion. This guy does not know what he is talking about. Argentina's problems didn't start with President Macri, but much before. We are dragging a problem that started in the 1970's and never ended. Its a much more complex problem that has multiple causes and repercutions. But one of the worst problems is political corruption that makes imposible to get out of the vicious circle in which Argentina is trapped.
I'm always fascinated by content creators obsession with the comment section. It's usually like 1% of the viewers. Some people have good intentions and many do not.

Make the content you want and focus on the positive people that are here for it.

@@legendmn55412 haha I mostly try to!
Most people that voted for Milei (me included) understands that change is not something you achieve easily or quickly. Most of what Nicolas is telling you is an over-simplification of Milei's policies, and no, education and healthcare budgets weren't cut where they matter. Keep in mind that the opposition Nicolas supports is the exact same people that put us in this situation to start with, so you don't want them back.
Inflation is quickly slowing down and salaries are starting to slowly recover, people have hope.
I'm happy you mention being in a subset of a subset of a subset of the best part of the country.
This is what caught me up so much in Argentina. I liked it so much because I was living a life that most people in the country couldn't dream of. I will definitely be back, but still struggling with how to reconcile that feeling.
Yep! That's what I struggle with most here!
That's not a subset of a subset of a subset of a zillion subsets.. those areas where most tourists stays are middle class accesible for most middle class people in the country, is not like a miserable country

Travis, ignore the negative Nellies. They are, at the end of the day, just jealous. Bottom line, tourism of any kind, in any country, brings in revenue. If a person didn't go to a particular country, no dollars would go there either. Simple as that. Keep up the good work.
Great work Nico, explaining our situation… and really good of you to be brave enough to go and seek for information. Thanks for that ❤
The problem is your friend has a very clear bias towards a particular political sector (a.k.a. the Kirchners), so his whole explanation is useless. He literally says they did everything right and everyone else did everything wrong. His knowledge of the economy is very, very poor. The Kirchners were the source of the current economic debacle (especially Cristina). Sure, they paid the whole IMF debt, but the spent all of the Central Bank's reserves and after that, they started printing money even though anyone with basic economic knowledge will know that causes inflation. And not only that, but their governments were plagued by corruption scandals and many other shady dealings (like manipulating the inflation statistics or not reporting poverty statistics when the economy started to go south). And yet your friend doesn't say anything at all about that. And he also says that the current government is doing everything wrong when most serious economists, both local and international, agree in that he's taking the necessary steps to put the economy back on track after the disaster left over from the previous administrations.
Corruption scandals magnified by a press "at war" with the govermwnt, as they themselves recognized. Auch "scandals", even when true, pale against the mega financial fraud of Macri government and with the swlling out of the country that it is happening right now in front of wveryone's eyes
No le pagaron todo al FMI, pagaron para no caer en default y conseguir más tiempo y correr al FMI para conseguir más deuda, cuando fueron a pedir un préstamo al FMI se lo negaron y por eso demonizan a ese organismo que es el último lugar donde recurren los países parias que nadie le presta ni media moneda.. imagínate la imagen que tenían de los Kirchner qué le negaron un préstamo
Nice! Thank you for perspective. Let's hope the world will turn sane again soon. Keep up what your are doing, if it is agitating some people, then so be it. You are doing the right thing.
Thanks Kaytee!! I'm just going to keep on swimming 🙃 ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Travis, almost everything Nicolás said is either wrong or misleading. I can name three examples without needing much explanation:
1) "Everything started with the debt that Macri...". He conveniently forgot to mention that Argentina hasn't seen economic growth since 2011 (Cristina Kirchner).
2) "The Kirchners paid off all the debt." "That’s true but, it’s important to consider that this payment represented less than 8% of the country’s external debt. It was possible not because of the Kirchners' management of the economy but due to the exponential rise in commodity prices globally, especially soy. The extra income motivated the Kirchners to pursue monetary policies that, when commodity prices fell, left a financial deficit they were never able to resolve."
3) "Argentina had the highest salary in Latin America in dollar terms." This is misleading because, while it's true that if you look it up, you'll see that we had the highest salary, it’s only if you use the official exchange rate as a reference (which, as you know, was not freely accessible, with limits on how much one could buy). This rate doesn’t reflect the real value of the dollar.
These are just three examples, but I could mention many more, especially when he talks about the new president. In that case, he outright omits key facts. If you ask him "why?" twice on the same topic, he either doesn't know the answer, or the answer is "because it’s a problem created by the previous administration or the Kirchnerist political line."
Some interesting questions you raise here. And having your friend come in and talk about Argentina clears up a lot for people who don’t have any idea what’s going on there or in most places. As you know, I’ve been following you since your Yucatan days. I think what I learned from you were insights and a different perspective on places that I was familiar with even when I speak the language. It holds true with other bloggers I follow. I don’t travel as far and wide as I once did. You are adding to the economy because you were spending money there. The naysayers on social media are almost amusing in the depth of their ignorance. So I agree with the guy below who told you just keep on doing it. There are people like me who have followed you for a long time who look forward to whatever you produce, and as you know from time time I write and make comments to you. Arriba Travis!
You're the best for sticking with me this long, Bill! And you're absolutely right - some people (mostly on TikTok) are verrrry amusing in their ignorance. But happy to have this amazing community of viewers on TH-cam!
Nicolas is very kind, he speaks English very well but he has such a large ideological component that it made him hide the true causes of the crisis... I do not speak English well nor do I have the only truth but I'm going to tell you a little about why we are in crisis from my point of view, emphasizing the things that him hides or doesn't know, so between both stories, maybe you can understand everything a little better, but I will do it in total Spanish, TH-cam can translate.. i'll continue writting down here in my own answer.. 😊
El comienzo de la historia que cuenta se puede tomar como está pero luego cuando cuenta sobre el gobierno de la familia Kichner tendré que agregar muchas cosas porque ahí comienza la nueva gran crisis nuestra alrededor de 2013 en adelante.. la crisis de 2001 hizo que en 2002 haya un ajuste muy grande de 7 puntos del pbi para equilibrar los gastos y ese año la crisis se profundiza mucho pero al empezar a crecer nuevamente a fin de 2002 y principio de 2003 argentina consigue superavit fiscal y eso le permite luego al nuevo presidente Nestor K poder administrar las cuentas con más tranquilidad, ese superavit termina unos años después con la llegada de su esposa Cristina K ella cree que gobernar con deficit no es un problema entonces empieza a aumentar los gastos pero sin hacer crecer los ingresos, cuando ellos pagan la deuda del FMI lo hacen tomando deuda interna (deuda pública) entonces la deuda en realidad solo cambio de nombre, en esos años también tuvimos la suerte que las cotizaciones de las materias primas estaban muy bien en el mundo y a través de la soja nuestras reservas crecían, en 2010 había aproximadamente 54billones de dólares de reservas brutas con un país bastante estable, pero en esa época el gobierno continuo incrementando el gasto cada vez más sobre la recaudación, ya para 2013 aproximadamente el desequilibrio fiscal ya empezaba a impactar en el país, ellos lo financiaban imprimiendo moneda y cuando ese exceso de moneda iba a la calle hacia crecer el valor del dólar alejándonos de la estabilidad que teníamos, luego esto empieza a generar grandes problemas y corridas bancarias duplicando el valor del dólar entonces para frenar la subida empezó a regular las salidas de los dólares poniendo cepos, estos hizo que por un lado el valor del dólar oficial se triplique volviendo a generar inflación pero peor aún al tratar de frenar las subidas del dólar poniendo cepos de venta entonces los mercados informales empezaron a marcar el termómetro real del valor del dólar, osea una cotización paralela que acá llamamos dólar blue, al continuar con esa políticas mes a mes fue perdiendo todas las reservas del banco central hasta llegar al 2015 con reservas netas negativas, más allá de tener el banco central quebrado, la deuda pública no paro de crecer por haber gobernado siempre con déficit alto, el déficit en 2015 llego a los 7 puntos del pbi aproximadamente similar a la crisis de 2001, la deuda que en 2007 era aproximadamente de 170billones de dólares paso a 250billones de dólares aproximadamente y además tuvimos un default en 2014 que en 2015 rondaba los 3billones de dólares pero luego de las sentencias de esas demandas por no querer pagarles creció a 15billones de dólares al años siguiente, todo esto fue el inicio de la crisis, deuda grande, déficit muy alto, banco central quebrado y dos valores del dolar porque uno llamado oficial estaba fuera de la realidad manteniendose a fuerza de vender las reservas de dólares del banco central pero al quebrar en 2015 entonces el dólar oficial que rondaba los 9pesos por dolar tuvo que saltar a 15pesos por dólar tomando el valor paralelo informal que ya traía desde 2014, luego viene Macri y el por un lado soluciona el problema de los dos tipos de cambio para el dólar, pero decide no ajustar el gasto de 7 puntos de pbi por encima de la recaudación para no pagar el costo político que genera hacer un ajuste tan grande, mientras viajaba por el mundo buscando inversiones tratando de hacer crecer el pbi para evitar ajustar cosa que no consiguió, entonces el nivel de deuda alto que ya teníamos más la falta de reservas termino de explotar en 2018 dónde gran parte de la deuda heredada tenía que pagarse, al generarse una corrida bancaria por grandes vencimientos pero sin reservas quedamos en la puerta de una hiperinflación y entonces para ni financiar ese deuda emitiendo más moneda y evitar más devaluación de la que ya estaba habiendo en ese momento entonces toma deuda con el FMI al 4% anual algo muy favorable ya que esas tasas bajas eran impensadas, pero lo que no fue bueno es el total de la deuda que tomo 45billones de dólares.. luego de ese préstamo además ajusta el gran déficit heredado y estanca el país más de lo que ya estaba, pero como punto a favor termina su gobierno con las cuentas nuevamente equilibradas y alrededor de 44 billones de dólares en reservas, luego viene el gobierno de Fernández que enfrentó la pandemia y más allá de que tenia la deuda del Fmi a sus espaldas nunca realizó ningún pago solo la refinancio para más adelante, su gobierno fue pésimo solo se dedico a financiarse emitiendo moneda y tomando deuda pública elevando la deuda total del país en más de 100billones de dólares.. bueno solo quise hacer un pequeño resumen, luego llega Milei pero recién arranca el heredo una crisis gigante sin comparacion a la heredada por macri y la heredada por fernandez asique nuevamente tuvo que hacer un ajuste grande para evitar seguir financiandose emitiendo moneda ya que a comienzo de año ya estábamos adentro de una hiperinflación técnicamente que gracias a Dios se pudo salir pero con estancamiento economico por reducir la cantidad de pesos en circulación que incentivan a la crecida inflacionaria.. Posiblemente Nicolás lea esto o cualquier otra persona quiera discutir algún punto en particular, todo se puede justificar googleando datos oficiales del ministerio de economia o Banco central de argentina, saludos!

I'm not sure travelers as in short stays are going to affect prices overall, the fact of traveling does increase people doing Airbnb instead of long term affordable rentals tho, that's going to be everywhere you go if a government or city doesn't regulate it. People like to think nobody outside of their north American or western European have money, but lots of people in Latin American countries aren't just well off they are filthy stinking rich. Big houses, malls and fancy restaurants aren't priced for foreign travelers, they are priced for the wealthy citizens
Amen to all of that!
Sos piola gringo, me gusta tu estilo, seguí así y bienvenido!
Travis,
I feel confident that You're aware that gentrification is caused, in part, by corporate owned short-term rentals listed on AirB$B, VRBO, etc, escalating real estate prices in older urban intown neighborhoods.
The short-term rentals is not new. In fact, it is a hybrid of the former Boarding Houses of earlier eras that enabled many grandparents, or widows to afford to stay in the 2-story, 4/5br, 2/3ba homes they raised their family.
The prudent solution, as I see it, is to limit short-term rentals to Single-family, Owner-OCCUPIED residences.
Exempt these "Boarding Houses" from local zoning laws, and keep the property tax as a Single-family residence.
Not only would this maintain the cohesiveness of the neighborhood, but, it help stabilize property values.
It worked for generations.
What say, ye?
I go to Europe often..went to the US for the first time last year and honestly I do not see or feel anything that would make me quit living in BA and move to..I dont know..Berlin, Paris or LA. Actuslly, I found this city better in many aspects. To start with cleanliness and social cohesion. In spite of the crisis you dont see as many homeless people, sketchy characters, people completely on drugs on many streets etc. There was some feeling of "decademce" in some places, which is worse than just an economic crisis that sooner or later will end. I dont know if this decadence has to do with some complacency from people from Western Europe or the US (thinking they are already too rich and therefore nothing can change that) or out of control migration that is changing the social fabric, but you can feel it.
Think you're right. I'm afraid the main factor is the immigration. Saludos desde Amsterdam.
With due respect, you need to interview someone who has a minimal level of education and understanding of the country's problems, instead of a person who just repeats things he sees and hears without understand causal effect and root cause behind all of that. Milei inherited a country with -15% of fiscal deficit when you count the treasury + central bank finances.....-15%!!!!! And that huge hole in the accounts was being filled by reckless money printing (given that absolutely nobody was willing to lend money to such reckless administration....) which led to a 271% of annual inflation in 2023....and accelerating dangerously fast when Milei took office in December....bringing the country to the verge of hyperinflation meltdown .....which would have been a catastrophic scenario bringing over 90% of people into poverty.......so Milei had to take a very radical shift in economic policy making a dramatic adjustment in spending to eliminate the deficit and balance the accounts immediately, and he said that very clearly both in the campaign and at his inauguration, and all along since, because that was the only way to avoid disaster.....and he said that this was going to very tough and that poverty would be increased, same with unemployment and other social trends....in the short term....and we are still in the short term...it is only 6 months + since he started......2025 will be a different year where all the hardship the country is going through will start paying off.....because when you cut money printing you bring inflation under control....when you bring inflation under control....salaries gradually start strengthening in real terms....and very importantly.....credit lending start flowing in the banking system....something not seen in Argentina since 2017.......due to the inflation problem......and plus once the bill to be passed by congress in the next days comes into effect then big investment will start to kick in as this bills provides legal certainty and tax incentives for big investment to flow into the country......in summary.....the situation is awful because the last administration left literally an atomic bomb just about to explore in the country.....and Milei had to take extreme measures to prevent that from happening.....it would be good that this man talks about the fact that for the presidential campaign, the minster for finance and candidate for the presidency that Milei defeated, spent the equivalent of 3% of the GDP (in a country with -15% deficit!!!!) to win votes and try to win the election....that is the level of recklessness, irresponsibility and evil the previous government had....and now the whole country is paying for that "party"....it would be good the interviewer learns a little more then truth!!!
Talk with another point of view.
It was interesting to get a local's perspective as I don't know anyone living there. Haven't been there yet but I'd love to check it out. I always thought of the country as challenging for a vegan to visit.
There’s been a surprising amount of great vegan food here (at least in BA!)
Hi hope ur channel does well, this guy who gave u a rundown of Argentina's economic rollercoaster, gives a very disturbing distorted view. He tries to connect the 40 year disaster to President Macri. This however is a classic liberal view. Hope you reach out to someone who doesn't have his vision.

You are really a kind person but unfortunately your friend does a lot of harm with his words, especially among your foreign viewers who don't really know about Argentina.. And they will think this country is a no cure disaster, to avoid if possible. He says he studied history.. girl... He of course supports peronism, kirchnerism and he tells you half of the story.

What a great video, kudos!
Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Great video. Just a few points to mention. The easy answer to the question of whether it is ok to travel here would be yes. Is always great to have tourists in our country and we Argentinians are very happy to have people here, we are proud of our country, we are proud of our people, and our culture, and we want to share it with the world. Now, one thing travelers must think about is how you travel and live here if you wish. Something not mentioned in this video is the exchange rate. A lot of tourists/TH-camrs/digital nomads know that the unofficial exchange rate is very very convenient for foreigners, you can get up to 60% more pesos for each us dollar at an unofficial exchange rate. So yeah, is easy to come here and live like a king with 2000 USD a month. Your rent will be half the price of your country, you will live in a nicer neighborhood, and you can get amazing dinners for 40-80 USD. But most Argentinians don't make more than 400-500 USD a month, they can't pay rent above 300 USD a month, and they have to live with 100 to 200 USD a month for groceries and services. They don't go out to eat, they drink cheap wine and eat cheap meat. What is great about this country is that even the cheapest wine and cheapest meat are greater than most countries. Try to live with the average salary or even double the salary of an average Argentinian, and you will know how we struggle to progress in this country. Also, this is not a problem of one government or another. This is a problem of all past governments, full of corruption and bad decisions. That story told by the tour guide is very one-sided, although I agree with some things that he said. In the case of Buenos Aires, mostly CABA is a bubble. And neighborhoods like Palermo, Belgrano, Recoleta, etc, are bubbles of a bubble. Most people that live there earn pretty high above the average income in Argentina, so yeah, is pretty nice to walk around there, and have dinner from time to time there. But average people, don't live there, they live 2 hours apart on public transportation, and a lot of them have to commute 4 hours a day just to work and earn something that isn't a shit salary. So next time someone comes here, think about how little your waiter is earning (200-300 USD a month usually) to make your 40-50 dollar meal affordable. Think about how many people don't know what a 10usd wine tastes like. Enjoy our country, enjoy our people, enjoy our food and culture. But don't stay in the bubble, we who live outside that bubble, sometimes live even happier and nicer outside of the bubble. That's the secret of why Argentinian people are really nice, humble and happy. The waiter that serves you that nice wasn't born in Palermo or Recoleta, they probably were born in another province. There is a lot more Argentina than the one shown in most of the videos. Thank you for making these videos and coming.
Why should he live like an "average Argentinian" if he is a digital nomad?
@@martymctirri3227 He shouldn't. These are just examples of the reality that people in this country live in, and the shortcomings that the people face vs what a digital nomad can experience living here.
The answer is simple, no. You are not creating any problems. And even if ZERO foreigners go to a country, some areas in some cities will be "gentrified" anyways. Not everyone can live in Palermo or Belgrano R in Buenos Aires or Brickell in Miami or Chelsea in London. Its just the way it is. And rent is a problem in all major cities where many people wanna live. Most cities have other areas that are still nice and cheaper and also areas close by but outside the city. And as for prices, some areas will always be very expensive, that didnt start now and will never go away.
Don't believe what that guy told you about Argentina history, he clearly has slanted political opinion due to being in favour of the party that lead Argentina into crisis. That view is the one we are leaving and thats why our country is starting to bloom again, most of the things he told you about are probably lies
bro he took the socialist/peronist aproach and wasnt objective. if the goverments he defends are so good why argentina after 80 years of peronismo and its deformartions (kirchner) has been left to milei with half of the country poor,registered employment on total decay,and a hiper inflationary crisis with the federal reservs -12.000.000.000$(usd)?
Very partial side of the story... don´t agree with what Nicolás said. It clearly shows he has a political preference as a peronist/kirchnerist. Those policies he defends have been around for a century (the very same century that got us from being the richest country, meassured in per capita GDP, to one of the poorest). That´s why people here voted for a change. I strongly recommend you interview someone else so as to hear a different perspective. Great videos by the way, keep them coming!
Just so you know, Nicolás has a very left winged perspective, half the country doesn't share his opinion.
excelente video que explica muy claramente lo que ha sucedido los ultimos años en Argentina
This tour guide person could not have explained the true facts better. I am an an American born non Argentine who has lived and visited Argentina for the last 22 years. I work for an Airline and have wife and kids living there.
He’s the best! Thanks for watching Franco! ❤️
You got a good one to explain our situation, if you get someone who hasn't studied history, they repeat what corporate media stuffs into their heads

NO TENES PUTA IDEA DE LO QUE ES LA DEMOCRACIA
Hello, I am so glad you are enjoying our country. But let's get straight to the point.
When I saw that you were going to talk to an Argentinian who was going to explain the problems of the country.... Well, I got worried.
You said it was someone who did tours, I got more worried. You said he was an anthropology professor, and I got even more worried. 🤣
I quickly confirmed my fears... you talked to a representative of the Argentine “left”. So, everything he told you, is wrong.
According to them, all the country's problems are due to “the damn right”. And they put you Macri as guilty of EVERYTHING... when he only governed for one term.
But they forget to say that they, the “left”, ruled the country for almost 80 years. But of course... Macri is to blame for everything. And now Milei.
You can choose to believe them... or investigate the opinions of the other side. Greetings, and welcome to the country!
I would've watched the whole way through, but when he said "it all started with the debt Macri took" then I already knew where the rest is headed. As a 32 yo argentinian I like your videos but this ain't it for me chief.
The argentinians have a hope now , whit a his new president , i live in sweden but if Argentina changes , i'll come again ....but now whit peronistas ....never more .Peron and Nazis....that's not good.....never the peronistas talk abaout Peron and Nazis....or Maduro...
Explaining Argentina through the eyes of those who love Fidel Castro is a vision alienated from reality, it is unfortunate that you, the owner of the channel, have these references that are so extreme and biased by such a marginal ideology.
We are better than with peronismo... we have hope and Milei is showing us that its posible to be better
You interviewed a leftard, Argentina's decline started with Peron 80 years ago. You can tell he lies when he talks about 2001 big crisis that the big problems didn't started 8 years ago. Please, talk to a conservative economist, ergo, a smart person.
I can't see this video anymore, sorry.
Thanks Nicolas, save me a lot of comments😛
So many places with triple digit inflation turn to just garbage in the street and chaos. Is Argentina an outlier in this regard? I've been to Panama City, and yeah, some dirt and garbage even with a pretty healthy economy. But it seems (a lot) more than BA from the vids I've seen. Wondering why if that's really the case.
Nothing against PC; I've made money there, and enjoyed some awesome restaurants. Very Americanized and very similar to Santa Ana, San Jose CR. Buenos Aires seems a lot more European. Why the difference I'm wondering.
That's such a great question and I wish I had asked Nicolas! Especially because they've had an inflation crisis for an extended period of time at this point. If I had to guess, I think it has something to do with still having strong unions representing those workers here, but definitely something to look into!
contrary to what was stated:
A typical middle class neighborhood is Palermo, and around 80% of both the city and the metropolitan area (17M inhabitants) have a quality of life similar or higher than Palermo.

Hey cool video, ik you put a lot of work, but i feel Nico is biased. I'm an argentinian, and as you said, there's a bubble in buenos aires, and specially in ciudad de buenos aires. And public universities in that city are like the most biased places ever to be in, so if you really want to get in touch with reality going to someone who's an academic on anthropology on the UBA living in Palermo is not really the best strat to break out of that bubble. I'd recommend talking with people outside that sphere if you want less politically biased views...
you got an absulutely biased guy making all the wrong diagnostic about the current situation in Argentina. He basically says that the leftist government of Kirchner did everything fairly well…. Absolutely misleading. The first governemt of kirchner was able to stabilize the country, but decadence started with the second government of Kirchner in 2008. The REAL reason of the argentinian drama is much more simple. It is a country that for decades, has been spending more that what they collect. Just simple as that. And if you spend more than what you colllect, the only way to finance yourself is: 1. either getting more and more debt 2. or printing money (which leads to hyperinflation). The country is broken and Milei had to cut spending. The country has in 6 months achieved fiscal balance. Leftist are very unhappy because of this because they have been used to have a lot of free social benefits. But the sad true is that there is no other way.
by the way… i am argentinian that left the country in 2002, living in europe since 22 years.
There was no hyperinflation when Cristina Kirchner lefr government in 2015. So, your argument is wrong. And you are the one probably biased.
Nicolas has the wrong perspective on the economic and political points. I hope you can talk with someone else.
i hope you ve been enjoying our Country!
The anthropologist you saw seems to me to have a more left-wing tendency, that is, he supports Kirchnerism, which is what created the disaster, not Macri. This disaster began in 2011 when Cristina Kirchner wanted to go above the institutions and remain in power forever. The economy reacted badly and she put a trap for the purchase of dollars that ruined many sectors that we depended on and are fundamental as is the purchase. housing and the place where Argentines save. All because in 2007 Nestor Kirchner fired the economy minister "Lavagna" who had a more traditional plan and who was the one who truly got us out of the crisis of 2001. Our problem was that they tried to establish 21st century socialism in Argentina, Macri's debt was not my cause, but a remedy for what was happening at that time. And the crisis of 2001 was caused by the theft of money from the Peronist political party 1 to 1, which was a solution to our problems with inflation and generated wealth that did not exist, and because it changed from a mostly status system to a private one. , they don't usually tell that. So the crisis in which a president resigned in 2001 was actually a civil coup d'état caused by Peronists. Cristina Kirchner put us in debt, but by "stealing" the money from retirees and Argentines, she increased much more than the debt with Macri. It's good to hear all the bells.
Greetings from Argentina

El antropologo que viste, me parce que tiene tendencia mas de izquierda, o sea apoya al kirchnerismo que es em que creo el desastre, no Macri. Este desastre comenzo en el 2011 cuando cristina kirchner quizo pasar por arriba de las instituciones y quwdarse eternamente en el poderz la economía reacciono mal y ella puso un cepo para la compra de dólares que arruino muchos sectores que dependiamos y son fundamentales como lo es la compra de vivienda y el de el lugar donde los Argentinos ahorramos. Todo porque en el 2007 nestor kirchner echo al ministto de economía "Lavagna" que tenia un plan mas tradicional y quien fue el que verdaderamente nos saco de la crisis del 2001. Nuestro problema fue que trataron de instaurar el socialismo del siglo xxi en argentina, la deuda de Macri no fue ma causa, sino un remedio para lo que pasaba en ese momento. Y la crisis del 2001 estuvo provocada por el robo de dinero del partido politico peronista al 1 a 1 que fue una solución para nuestros problemas con la inflacion y genero una riquesa que no habia, y porque se cambio de un sistema mayoritariamente estatusta a uno privado, eso no lo suelen contar. Por lo que la crisis en que renuncio un presidente en el 2001, fue en realidad un golpe de estado civil provocado por loa peronistas. Cristina Kirchner nos endeudo, pero "robando" el dinero de los jubilados y de los Argentinos, aumento muchisimo mas que la deuda con Macri. Es bueno escuchar todas las campanas.
How is that Cristina Kirchner stole the money of the retired? When she saved the plummeting private retirement savings plans and consolidated the system with the creation of the guarantee sustainability fund (FGS). On the contrary, the system is being blown up right now.
Hello, you have to be careful with who you talk about Argentine history, you should know that here we are all very politicized and they will give you their version of history depending on their political position. For example, President Macri took on debt but many people will tell you that it was for pay the internal debt left by the previous government. So everything has a different color according to the party that each one chooses. I liked your video
Except it was not. The bigger part of the IMF loan was used in practice to pay for investors selling the public bonds fiesta that Caputo, Dujovne and co had extended over all limits, before the "reperfilamiento" de facto default and amidst the 2018-19 devaluations.
@@Vrealita No, it was not. Stop spreading misinformation leftard. The IMF loan was because you leave the country with negative reserves in the central bank.
@@Vrealita As you said most of it was used to pay for bonds. Those bonds weren't placed there by that administration, and defaulting would have been a worse choice than extending the bonds. But anyways, each one has its views on the subject.
@@sama32lambda The bonds were placed by that same Macri administration, as the previous one didn't have access to international markets. Dujovne himself recongised there was no debt issues at all when they took office, so that they could borrow as much as they wanted. And they did it. A lot.
omg it shouldn't be that way, people don't understand the problem is not the tourist, is the governors they probably voted! but.. well I don't see a nice future for Argentina in the short term..
I agree with most of the comments. Nicolas is clearly biased.
Milei bad and kirchner good. YEAH RIGHT
International Gentrifier - that's even a thing? :)
😂
From Argentina here. Totally agree with Nicolas' points of view. It's exactly as he says. Those who don't agree with him are Milei's voters. Argentina is a very rich country, its wealth is just badly distributed. We need a left-wing government to put the country upside down and get ahold of the main sources of income of the country. Huge private companies local and from abroad are now in power with Milei and they will only reap the benefits from our natural resources and leave nothing but devastation.

"good infrastructure... Really nice people... 3 world cups..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One side of the political spectrum just saying
Argentina hasn't grow since 2011 and has continuosly run fiscal deficits since 2009. a GDP growth rate of just 1,8 per cent over the past half century. with OUR president MILEI economic activity rose 1.3 percent from April, above the 0.1 percent. Argentina is officialy out of recession after 7 months of Javier Milei's economic reforms after being in recession since a half a year before he got into office. Milei came in to wipe out all the dirty that the Kichneristas and Peronistas has done to this country for over 60 years, and we are witnessing it on the street and our life.
😂😂
A couple of things to keep in mind. He's hiding a LOT of facts. Milei took office with an insane amount of debt (treasury), central bank debt, and unpaid bills from the previous government (w vice president Kirchner). Also "highest minimum wage" (not even close to hihgest average wage) whilst having a growing unregistered workforce that reached more than 50% so a lot of people weren't guaranteed anything with that minimum wage. I'm not saying milei is the way to go but this guy is clearly biased.
also look at the socioeconomic status of the majority of people who voted him.
