Her partner is another Venezuelan prostitute, since it is customary that as girls they prostitute themselves for pants. They gave you sallmonella, they are pigs
As a Chilean, I am very angry with you and I hope you get screwed. You mean you got salmonella in established places. Let me tell you that the United States, Chile and Canada are the only countries in North America, Central America and South America that have drinking water recognized by international organizations. Chile It has had hygienic medicines for more than 50 years that have managed to eradicate diseases that exist and prevail in the rest of South America and especially in the Caribbean.They exist and thrive. Venezuelans do not have a vaccination plan, they have not measured malnutrition for decades, they have rates of morbid diseases and sexual diseases among the highest in the world. They arrived here malnourished, without vaccines of any kind, without hygiene education, a highly disrespectful and above all violent population. They went so far as to destroy public education, healthcare, to become a source of infections due to their own diseases and lack of culture. They should sue the restaurants and get every last cent from you for defamation. I bet your Venezuelan friends don't They have told you that these great pockets of poverty are due to its population that has brought mafias, kidnappings, dismemberments. They are the worst plague that the devil shit

My Ukrainian wife and I (American) currently live in Palermo. The most striking thing about BA is the genuine friendliness of the people. A steak bigger than I could ever eat in one sitting can be had for about $10 usd. Taxi app didi works well, is cheap and dependable. Stunning architecture, nice parks, walkable city. Clothing is expensive and quality low. Ive never felt unsafe, never been threatened or scammed. I’ve lived in countries all over the world and overall BA ranks amongst my top five favorite cities.
@@mightybmx2900 It’s a more elegant place than its name implies. World class service, great ambiance, huge portions and really good prices. So far it’s the best value I’ve found in the Palermo area.
@@mightybmx2900I am from Argentina. If you want a restaurant with good meat you have to go to places called "bodegones" where normal Argentine people go to eat meat and most of them are cheap
Wow a video on how cheap Argentina is because of its cripppling economy! Argentinian food looks so good!! I wish I could try it someday. Greetings from Argentina.
I love Argentina and consider it like a second country. I'm there right now. As an American it annoys me seeing so many tools like this guy on TH-cam completely tone deaf to how they are coming across to people in the countries they're visiting. He's not doing it out of malice, he just needs to stop and think. Of course I take advantage of the blue market peso, but that really only works with day to day items. Real estate transactions use the US dollar and high ticket items requiring a credit card are converted at the official exchange rate.
@@waynetompkins3006 Happy to have you Wayne. We all use the blue rate because it's the actual rate! It shouldn't be too complicated to get a local credit card, I wouldn't use foreign cards in Argentina. Stay safe!
1:05 she didn't immigrate to America. She has been in America all her life. Both Venezuela and Argentina are in America, not in Africa, not in Europe, not in Asia.
Argentina es única, majestuosa, se diferencia en todo antes y ahora. Buenos Aires, la París de América. Me gusta toda la Argentina, tiene la impronta y el estilo de los millones de inmigrantes de gran parte del mundo que la forjaron con esfuerzo y trabajo. Somos un país relativamente joven y tenemos todo para salir adelante y seguir creciendo.
I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for nearly 10 years. Don't cry for me Argentina. The people of Argentina have figured out to live with their hyperinflation. If you have a 1500 to 2000 dollars a month US you will live a very comfortable lifestyle. My most favorite neighborhood is Congreso. There is a lifestyle for any budget in Buenos Aires you won't feel like you are in a city in a financial crisis.
Thanks, Simon! That's the balance I'm trying to strike- informative while not putting the viewer to sleep. Make sure to check out the video I did on Santiago: th-cam.com/video/MKDZj6XGgkM/w-d-xo.html
Kevin - this is outstanding work and I feel like you are the new Rick Steves! Your videography was terrific and it was great to learn more about Jess and her family!
Hey, thanks for making these videos. The journalistic quality and narration are fantastic! I'm most recently from Roanoke, currently living in Bogotá for six months (you should come do a video here, lol) and going to Buenos Aires in September for six months. Jack Brown's was also one of my favorite joints in Roanoke! Anyways, I found the Buenos Aires video very informative and insightful, and I think you did an amazing job capturing as much imagery and history as you could in such a short visit. I'm sorry to see that there are some "controversial" comments here and there on both the BA and Santiago videos, but it's a reminder that one always has to tread carefully with their words as a tourist (especially coming from a country perceived as "wealthy"), because sometimes seemingly innocuous comments can be lost in translation from one culture to the next. Yeah, there are lots of countries where a U.S. citizen can seemingly live "like a king", but we only perceive it that way because many things that the rest of the world often takes for granted (like affordable healthcare, or well-developed public transportation) are so insanely expensive and/or non-existent for most U.S. citizens. I usually try to use those points to explain to locals that I am visiting from a position of respect, or even admiration, for their country, as oftentimes their country has benefits and points of pride that our country doesn't have and will likely never have. I've had locals here in Bogotá tell me that Colombia is "developing" or "third world" but I try to explain to them that there are many aspects in which I would consider the U.S. to be less "developed" than a place like Bogotá. Take cycling for example - Bogotá has hundreds of kilometers of bike lanes, trails and paths, and is commonly referred to as the cycling capital of South America. Cyclists are generally given a wide berth and mostly treated with respect. Every Sunday all of the major streets and avenues are closed to vehicles and are flooded with cyclists and pedestrians so that families can enjoy the weekend and exercise outdoors in safety. Meanwhile, I rode my bicycle from Virginia to Newfoundland a couple of years ago, and I can't count how many times I was yelled at, honked at, flipped off, gassed with truck exhaust, or otherwise harassed, not to mention the complete lack of bicycle lanes and infrastructure in most cities. From a cycling perspective, Bogotá has it figured out, while most of the U.S. does not. When I have these types of discussions with locals about various topics, my hope is that they walk away understanding my appreciation for their country isn't just because it is cheap. Hopefully by highlighting things that I am actually envious of, maybe they walk away with an even deeper appreciation and pride for their country's accomplishments. It is refreshing though to see that (as a journalist should), you allow yourself to be informed by both the positive and the negative comments, which will only serve to make your future videos even more awesome and informative than they already are. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your international adventures and wish you continued success with these videos!
Wow! Thank you so much for such kind and insightful feedback, plus the $25. I agree that journalists need to be open to feedback as it's our job to hear different perspectives and always being open to broadening our horizons. I am traveling to Panama and Costa Rica in October. Colombia is on my short list. I will message you if/when I book a trip to Bogota!
Me meti a ver y que lindo Argentina es un pais en el cual quede encantado y vivi 5 años y extraño a pesar que vivo en madrid en la actualidad, que bueno q conectaras con un pana mio venezolano Saludos bro.
On point... My wife and I stayed in BA for 3 months last Jul - Sep to get out of the AZ summer heat... It was quite cold in BA as its their winter but it was exactly what we were looking for. We hit many of the places in your video and then some. I've travelled A LOT in my life and BA is one of the best places I've ever been to, right up there with Tokyo, NY and Paris at a fraction of the cost. We'll be back for sure.
I'd love to call BA home for three months... try a new cafe for breakfast each morning, stroll the parks and neighborhoods during the day, and eat a steakhouse for dinner a few times per week. And yes, it is incredibly affordable compared to NYC, Paris, Tokyo, etc... How did you feel from a safety perspective while living in BA?
I totally agree with your comments. Buenos Aires is my favorite city in the world! I live in Washington DC and I have traveled to many countries in Europe. I like Buenos Aires a lot more than Paris, New York, or London. The hotels and food are amazing at a fraction of the cost of Paris, London, and New York
Although the economy in Argentina is devastated, to go as a tourist is a great decision, very cheaper restaurants, hotels, many beautiful landscapes outside of Buenos Aires, the best meat barbecue etc greetings from London
Wow! Thanks for those kind words, Luke. I'm a local news reporter in DC, but this is my first time dabbling in travel videos. My main goal is to find unique places around the USA and world that the average person (like me) hasn't been to before.
Very well done video. I am Argentinian and I believe this has been a fair depiction of Buenos Aires. I don't understand the comments of my countrymen here who are offended by the author talking about inflation. It is real! And we suffer it every fucking day.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, Luis. I always bring open eyes and an open heart wherever I travel. I hope to return to Argentina soon to visit other parts of the country.
I've lived in Madrid for a long time and I see so much similarities in both cities, especially La Avenida 9 Julio, which looks a lot like Paseo Castellana. The Spanish architectural influence is massive, but I am keen to visit someday and try the grilled meat! Thanks for a great job.
I just Google'd "Paseo Castellana" and you're right, it looks very similar. I've never been Spain, but would love to visit. Thanks for watching and commenting, Carlos!
Wow, thanks for such a kind compliment, Rodrigo! Please let me know if I can answer any questions as you plan your trip to BA. And yes, Jess truly is a gem.
Well done. I spent 5 months in BA over two trips(2017 and 2019). Yes inflation is bad but not for people with dollars. It definitely feels like a European city….beautiful architecture amongst tree lined streets. Sidewalks are a disaster but that is ok. Thanks for bringing back some great memories
go to other cities or town your experience will go 100x better. as b a citizen i recomend go to tourist places like bariloche cordoba the mountains or the sea
Thanks, Steven. Do you live in the US? If so, the USD will go incredibly far in Argentina. The city does have a ton of charm and culture. Please let me know if I can help answer any questions.
Hey, thanks! I am a news reporter at the ABC station in Washington, D.C. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I'll be producing more of them in 2023, so please subscribe to the channel and follow along :)
Hello Kevin! I'm Argentinian and I must say you did a great piece on my country! I hope you enjoyed your time in Argentina...btw it's a massive country and BA is just one city albeit out biggest and I'm a Porteno however there are 24 provinces and much to see! As far as the economy we are always up and down and we'll be back as we always bounce back that said nothing will ever diminish the way we Argentinians like to ENJOY life for we know we are on this planet for such a short time that explains why we eat, drink and are out quite late😂😂😂 anyway enjoy and cheers!👍
Hi Carlos- Thank you so much for taking the time to share these kind words. They mean a lot coming from a true Porteno. There is something to be said about living in the moment and not fretting so much about the future. I felt that energy in the people of BA. I would love to make a return trip to Argentina to document all the wonderful sites beyond Buenos Aires. Similarly, New York City is great, but there is a lot more to America beyond NYC.
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch, comment, and subscribe, Lawrence! I'm planning to tackle this full time in 2023, and I look forward to seeing how the style develops too.
I’m here in BA now - for the month of January 2023; to put things into perspective an Airbnb - if u know the owner directly - is about $20/day (avg rent in Recoleta is about $250/month for a one bedroom apt). A decent steak dinner at one of the great steak places is about $30 for two including a nice bottle of wine. The best seafood place in Palermo has a seafood mixed grill with wine and appetizer about $30 for two. My average Uber ride has been about $4 including tips. Blue dollar exchange rate has varied since I’ve been here starting 12/21/22 from 315-355 pesos per US dollar. On the other hand - you will pay exorbitant prices for anything that’s imported. I had to buy a set of hair trimmers to shave bald and the Wahl set worth about $50 US cost $115 here.
True! My stay in BA has surprised cheap coming the surrounding area of Silicon Valley. The food, Uber rides,and laundry loads (700AR$ ~2-3usd) My stay 1/4/23-1/17/23 the blue dollar value carried from ~230 - 330 ARG pesos per dollar. An American in the main tourist areas cost about 650 ARG$. The most I’ve spend on a dinner for 2 at a nice restaurant was about 19-25 USD.
@@xcorona7097 That sounds about right. The Argentinian economy is tragically upside down, but it is incredibly affordable for tourists right now, depending on the country they are coming from.
@@HDMichelle33 - for airbnb i would suggest Recoleta, esp for ladies. It’s totally safe and near public’s transport and all the museums, great restaurants and bars etc. But not right in the middle of the tourist crowd. But I would rather hang out - not reside- in Palermo or San Telmo. More culture and flavor. I’m leaving now at the airport as I write this - hope you have a wonderful trip!
@@xhpfanx I'm jealous! I'd love to go back to BA. The red-eye flights to Chile/Argentina are long, but if you can fall asleep, there is limited jet lag because the time zones are similar to the U.S. As for Ubers, I'm not sure. We relied on the Subway (Subte) and taxi cabs to get around. Both are incredible affordable. Just be mindful of pickpockets on the Subte. Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.
Hello there, I love watching your amazing Buenos Aires videos. I am planning to visit Buenos Aires in April next year. Sorry just asking If it is safe for a solo lady traveler like myself, to explore the streets. I would like to take some walking videos as I walk along the streets, like most youtuber here do. I understand that there are some places to avoid walking alone. Please advise. Thank you so much! Greetings from Malaysia!
If you can, see Ushuaia, it is a few hour flight, but very safe and beautiful, and not super hot and humid like BA in January. Giant crab, cruises to Antarctica, snow-capped mountains, my favorite town oin Argentina.
Hi Siti- I think Alan and Sociology Nut gave you very solid travel advice for points beyond Buenos Aires. As for BA, I was grateful to have my girlfriend as an extra pair of eyes while I filmed with my iPhone and DJI drone. She spotted (what appeared to be) pickpockets on at least three occassions while we walked around Casa Rosada, the Obelisk, and San Telmo. We didn't have that problem in the more residential neighborhoods of Palermo and Belgrano. If you do walking videos, keep your camera low-key and remain mindful of your surroundings at all times. BA is much safer than Rio and other big cities, but the current Argentinian inflation crisis is leading to a spike in crime. I hope that helps!
Thanks, Ariela! Your comment made me research Bucharest, which looks beautiful as well. There are so many wonderful places to see in this world. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Feel free to subscribe too :)
Thanks, Tita! One of my main goals is to provide real substance in my videos while not putting people to sleep. I'm glad I struck that balance for you :)
@@KevinAcrossAmerica you are welcome. This video is engaging. I searched for Buenas Aires because in 2024, we are joining an Antarctica cruise and we’ll embark in that city probably we’ll spend 3 days in this city. We’ll pass Chile too so I’ll wait for your next post. 😊
Good clip enjoyed. I’d like to see Argentina. Looks quite prosperous, it’s had a history of boom, bust. The culture seems very rich and with Argentina winning the World Cup, must be a great place to visit.
Thanks, Andrew! The culture is beyond rich. And you're correct about a history of boom and bust, but it's sadly been much more bust over recent decades.
Food- rent - and travel around is really cheap in Argentina, but if you try to buy iPhones- electronics or cars probably cost you almost double of price that you pay in the us ( on same brands)
Oh, and the editing, information given and your amazing narrative are great! Thank you again for making this video about my dear Buenos Aires. Come back soon! 😊
Thank you for visiting my country. Excluding the politics, inflation, and economic issues we have for like a century, it's a great place to live in, incredible food, friendly people, and our culture is very unique, a mix of italian, spanish and some other countries. It'd be cool if you visit another time and try more food, wine, visit more places, etc. Great video, I've learn some things thanks to you even living in Buenos Aires my whole life.
Wow! I'm so glad you learned some new information about BA. Very cool. I'm from Chicago and it too has a complex reality. It's a fantastic city, but struggles with brutal winter weather, high taxes, government corruption, and violent crime. Thanks for watching and commenting, Nicolas. Much appreciated!
Don’t forget the most important tip: Bring cash, US dollars. They can be sold in the black market at double the rate that when you use credit cards. Your bills get you double the amount of pesos.
im romanian and i have romanian friends there, and also Bucharest is called The Little Paris, so basically if im gonna live there, it will be so similar with Bucharest, because many places there looks kind of same with Bucharest.....thats lovely...Paris - Bucuresti and Buenos Aires all same...niceee
I was born in Palermo, Buenos Aires but grew up in Corrientes Capital until I was 9 years old. Then moved to the U.S. and am now 41. I would visit Bs. As. but I don't think I would retire there. I'd rather retire to a smaller city in one of the provinces. Most likely the city of Corrientes (where I grew up). I have friends & family there. I have cousins in Bs. As. as well. I agree, it's a one of a kind city. The last time I was there in '97. IDK how it is now but back then (I was 15) I almost got mugged by three young men. We were riding a bus (colectivo) back to the Bajo Flores neighborhood. I was dressed in american way, jeans, sweater, Reebok sneakers, Seiko silver watch. All that caught their attention. Thankfully the people I was with knew where to get off. The guys yelled expletives out the window, which I didn't really care. I was glad I wasn't mugged, that would've been a horrible experience. As mentioned, I'd rather retire in Corrientes. It's slower paced, not as big and I have family & friends there.
Nice. I have to visit one day. I have family in Buenos Aires. I’m from Virginia. Not too far from Washington DC in Arlington. The food looks delicious.
@@vHumboldt77 Thank you. It’s nice. I grew up here. I do enjoy the seasons, but the only downside is the traffic here is horrible. Maybe in 20 years when I reach retirement age, I’ll move more south about an hour away away from all the congestion. Lol! In the meanwhile I’ll definitely have to visit to Buenos Aires. I’m pretty sure Buenos Aires has worse traffic but at least I’ll be on vacation focusing on the beauty of the city, arts and food. 😊
@@KevinAcrossAmerica We all hope so...meanwhile you're right, it's the ideal time for tourist to come and visit our beautiful country ...greetings from MENDOZA 🍷
@@evelinavila2897 I'll be visiting soon. It's hard not to be excited about how far our dollar goes, but that's only the case for me because of how expensive it is to fly there. I'm going to visit people that I've met online who I've grown extremely close with. The Argentinian people that I've met are amazing and the country is blessed in terms of its geography (natural resources and geographic diversity). I think the country is more likely to turn the corner and recover and prosper in the intermediate term than not.
@@KevinAcrossAmerica It will come out when they change politicians who have these socialist ideas, they want to turn us into Cuba or Venezuela, luckily the elections are coming up and everything indicates that the opposition wins.
@@KevinAcrossAmerica Maybe I can help be a tour advisor for Buffalo in surrounding area. I’ll give you a list of local eating areas to check out and breweries
Very limited and prejudice video, I visited Buenos Aires 15 years ago and I was impressed by the cultural richness of the City and its people. After arriving with my son to a Hotel my good Argentinian friends from NYC invited us to stay in their beautiful home and since that moment we where treated like kings with so much generosity and care for a week. I think Argentinians are very warm , friendly and extraordinary hosts!
I'm sorry you felt the video was limited in scope and prejudice. I had five days in Buenos Aires and did my best to capture as much content as possible, while also visiting with my girlfriend's family/friends.
I think you are being a bit disrespectful with the title you chose. No surprise that the Argentinian peso is devaluated. But now you can live like kings thanks to us. You're welcome! Enjoy your trip and hope to have you here again when our economy gets better!
This might be the best English language overview I've seen of Argentina and definitely Buenos Aires. Having lived in Córdoba for 7 years, this is very well done for a visitor. Inflation is now over 100% for 2022, you can never keep up with how bad the Argentina economy is doing jaja
Wow! Thank you for such a kind compliment. I didn't realize that inflatiin had hit 100% at this point. I sure hope the economy starts to calm down as that's not sustainable.
@@KevinAcrossAmerica you weren't there long enough, but Argentina is constantly falling off a cliff. It shouldn't be sustainable yet it keeps going. Like if you were perpetually falling in a dream and never hit the ground, you don't wake up
I'm coming to Buenos Aires! The bug has bitten me bad! A 10 hour flight from Houston! Learning all I can to make my adventure special! Loved the video! Thanks so much for all the great information! Would love recommendations for places to stay, carrying cash/dollars! It's time to step out of the comfort zone and explore! What a gorgeous city! Gracias, amigo! I'm subscribed!
Be careful, it might look good and georgeous but remember you are still in Latin America, it is not one the safest areas in the world. Buenos Aires it's not safe, specially at night, be careful also of guys in motorbikes who look shady or suspicious, they rob people and go away with the stuff they robbed you,and it can happen very fast, we call them motochorros. Don't get me wrong if you are a tourist you can have a good time, i've met tourists who traveled here and never got robbed nor experienced something bad but there's been a lot of cases of tourists getting robbed or even killed in a robbery, i don't want to scare you, I'm only trying to be honest. Also learn some Spanish at least basic stuff, if you dont know much spanish dont worry, most people here have some basic understanding of english.
@@lg20a1 @davideast9332 Be as careful as you would in any big city, but don't be scared off by people telling you it's a shitty place, idk why but locals tend to talk shit about their own city... BA is the safest big city in South America (i would argue in the whole American continent, but I don't have that data). Just keep an eye out for pickpockets on public transport and shady non touristy areas, not much else, you can check the US advisories map and you'll see the precautions recommended are even lower than in most of European countries . I hope you have a wonderful trip and enjoy my beloved city.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch the video and subscribing. Feel free to email me at kevindaniellewis@gmail.com. I'd be happy to hop on a quick phone call to answer any questions that you may have.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun putting the video together. The opening song is from iMovie. It's called Bossa Lounger. There are three clips: a short, medium and long version.
8:42 En Argentina se llama cuadril, no picanha, ese es el nombre brasileño. 8:58 En Argentina no hacemos el asado así, se hace con brasas, no sobre la llama.
Thanks so much! Comments like this honestely motivate me to keep going. I'll be tackling this full time starting in February. I'd love if you subscribe and follow along.
I am in Buenos Aires right now in November 2024 and it's not cheap and in fact it's prices are similar to other big cities especially when it comes to food. Housing, Transportation and services are a little cheaper but not by much compared to the US.
I'm glad I impressed you! I shot everything on the ground with an iPhone 13 Pro. The drone shots were with a DJI Mavic Air 2. I edited the video on iMovie and probably relied on color grading in a few shots, but most of the video is in its original form.
How is the restaurant scene around the Puerto Madero district? Is there a taxi app to download? We are staying in BA for 12 days in August, 2023. Congrats on a nice video!
Hi Farid - There are a ton of restaurants in and around Puerto Madero. I'm not aware of a taxi app, but it shouldn't be hard to flag them down on the street. They're incredibly affordable. Uber is also available, but we stuck with walking, taxis, and the subway. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.
I am a US/UK dual national. I've been to BA twice and plan on living there for a year or two after I retire at the end of 2023. I already know that I want to live in Recoleta, one of the only places where it costs more to die there than to live there. The only other such place I can think of is Highgate in London. The only problem is that I'm vegan and eat neither meat, fish, nor dairy.
Almost all restaurants and fast food chains have vegan menus. We also have vegan food companies like "Felices las vacas" that are dedicated to selling all kinds of vegan food
Thanks, man! I may be traveling to Australia in a few months to film a bunch of episodes. Please feel free to share some Oz "hidden gems" with me if you have the time.
A somewhat idealistic depicting of BsAs; I have lived in Belgrano since 2003, European and have observed life conditions worsen year after year. There is a lot of poverty in Argentina, and security is now a day to day concern. Now, you will say it is in every big city the same. As a foreigner, I will recommend that you always apply common sense and avoid the non so-called "tourists" zone. Even in Puerto Madero, Palermo, Recoleta, avoid pulling out your latest iPhone in the street. I am not saying you should be weary of doing anything. Just be careful. BsAs is a place where cash is preferred. Some street hoodlums will mark you as a target if you look too touristy. As for what is shown in this promotional video, yes. Those places are there. But there a lot of desperate people trying to find money to fight the incredible inflation. I live in a protected neighborhood, but I still look around when I walk, to make sure strange people don't follow me. I speak proper Spanish, but my non Spanish accent sells me as a non Latino. Even if you easily blend in in Argentina, keep voice low as it is a give away. Keep this in mind if you look for "Blue" dollars in Florida Street. The best deals are done with people that change higher amounts of dollars, such as 1k or more. Last and not least, bring $100 notes. Those are the preferred ones by the changers.
I am brazilian. A flight hostress. So I am used to travel and sleeping in other places. I almost got robbed in Recoleta when I stayed in a hotel there. And being from a safe town in Brazil... Gramado... it felt really scary.
11:12 "More psychologists per capita than any other country in the world", I think there is a pattern developing here. Psychologists, lawyers, and self serving politicians don't really add much to the GDP, IMHO.
Buenos Aires is on my bucket list. Looks like a fun city with fun people, rich culture and $5 for a cab ride across the city certainly sounds like a good deal. However, the food looks very unhealthy. I hope it's not hard to find salad, grilled fish or grilled chicken in BA.
Salads are easy to come by. Chicken and fish won't be tough to find either. And yes, how can you not love a $5 cab ride across the entire city. I hope you're able to make the trip to BA happen!

My Ukrainian wife and I (American) currently live in Palermo. The most striking thing about BA is the genuine friendliness of the people. A steak bigger than I could ever eat in one sitting can be had for about $10 usd. Taxi app didi works well, is cheap and dependable. Stunning architecture, nice parks, walkable city. Clothing is expensive and quality low. Ive never felt unsafe, never been threatened or scammed. I’ve lived in countries all over the world and overall BA ranks amongst my top five favorite cities.

As an American it annoys me seeing so many tools like this guy on TH-cam completely tone deaf to how they are coming across to people in the countries they're visiting. He's not doing it out of malice, he just needs to stop and think. Of course I take advantage of the blue market peso, but that really only works with day to day items. Real estate transactions use the US dollar and high ticket items requiring a credit card are converted at the official exchange rate.
@@waynetompkins3006 Happy to have you Wayne. We all use the blue rate because it's the actual rate! It shouldn't be too complicated to get a local credit card, I wouldn't use foreign cards in Argentina. Stay safe!
@@waynetompkins3006 thank you for the great comment, wayne. i hope you enjoy your time in argentina. you are very welcome here ❤

She had been in south America.
Thanks for the constructive criticism, Jose. I won't make that mistake again.
Central and South Americans hate to hear that their country isn’t America 😅
@@MiguelAngel-ip2sf It's America after all
Probably one of the best documents I've been seen of Buenos Aires so far, thanks for doing it!
Absolutely! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, Tony.
Argentina es única, majestuosa, se diferencia en todo antes y ahora. Buenos Aires, la París de América. Me gusta toda la Argentina, tiene la impronta y el estilo de los millones de inmigrantes de gran parte del mundo que la forjaron con esfuerzo y trabajo. Somos un país relativamente joven y tenemos todo para salir adelante y seguir creciendo.
English please.
Están mas cerca de Soweto que París..ja
@@ADRIAN-zh4ti...He said,that Buenos Aires is the Paris of South America.
And I'm saying,that they are closer to to Soweto than the capital of France.
@@alvaropanizza8522
Only some spots are europa like in the main city.
But the rest is like albanian style life.
@@ADRIAN-zh4ti...The outskirts is a different story.
I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for nearly 10 years. Don't cry for me Argentina. The people of Argentina have figured out to live with their hyperinflation. If you have a 1500 to 2000 dollars a month US you will live a very comfortable lifestyle. My most favorite neighborhood is Congreso. There is a lifestyle for any budget in Buenos Aires you won't feel like you are in a city in a financial crisis.
I like irish Crackers.
@@ADRIAN-zh4ti...I like Paco..lol

I very much enjoyed watching this video. Great balance between being a travel guide, and showing your personal life. It felt genuine.
Thanks, Simon! That's the balance I'm trying to strike- informative while not putting the viewer to sleep. Make sure to check out the video I did on Santiago:

Beautiful video! We are praying for Milei's success and a return of these beautiful people to prosperity and peace.
Kevin - this is outstanding work and I feel like you are the new Rick Steves! Your videography was terrific and it was great to learn more about Jess and her family!
Thank you!! It’s was awesome trip, haha definitely we need to go back again! 🫶🏻
Hey, thanks for making these videos. The journalistic quality and narration are fantastic! I'm most recently from Roanoke, currently living in Bogotá for six months (you should come do a video here, lol) and going to Buenos Aires in September for six months. Jack Brown's was also one of my favorite joints in Roanoke!
Anyways, I found the Buenos Aires video very informative and insightful, and I think you did an amazing job capturing as much imagery and history as you could in such a short visit.
I'm sorry to see that there are some "controversial" comments here and there on both the BA and Santiago videos, but it's a reminder that one always has to tread carefully with their words as a tourist (especially coming from a country perceived as "wealthy"), because sometimes seemingly innocuous comments can be lost in translation from one culture to the next.
Yeah, there are lots of countries where a U.S. citizen can seemingly live "like a king", but we only perceive it that way because many things that the rest of the world often takes for granted (like affordable healthcare, or well-developed public transportation) are so insanely expensive and/or non-existent for most U.S. citizens. I usually try to use those points to explain to locals that I am visiting from a position of respect, or even admiration, for their country, as oftentimes their country has benefits and points of pride that our country doesn't have and will likely never have.
I've had locals here in Bogotá tell me that Colombia is "developing" or "third world" but I try to explain to them that there are many aspects in which I would consider the U.S. to be less "developed" than a place like Bogotá. Take cycling for example - Bogotá has hundreds of kilometers of bike lanes, trails and paths, and is commonly referred to as the cycling capital of South America. Cyclists are generally given a wide berth and mostly treated with respect. Every Sunday all of the major streets and avenues are closed to vehicles and are flooded with cyclists and pedestrians so that families can enjoy the weekend and exercise outdoors in safety.
Meanwhile, I rode my bicycle from Virginia to Newfoundland a couple of years ago, and I can't count how many times I was yelled at, honked at, flipped off, gassed with truck exhaust, or otherwise harassed, not to mention the complete lack of bicycle lanes and infrastructure in most cities. From a cycling perspective, Bogotá has it figured out, while most of the U.S. does not. When I have these types of discussions with locals about various topics, my hope is that they walk away understanding my appreciation for their country isn't just because it is cheap. Hopefully by highlighting things that I am actually envious of, maybe they walk away with an even deeper appreciation and pride for their country's accomplishments.
It is refreshing though to see that (as a journalist should), you allow yourself to be informed by both the positive and the negative comments, which will only serve to make your future videos even more awesome and informative than they already are.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your international adventures and wish you continued success with these videos!
Wow! Thank you so much for such kind and insightful feedback, plus the $25. I agree that journalists need to be open to feedback as it's our job to hear different perspectives and always being open to broadening our horizons. I am traveling to Panama and Costa Rica in October. Colombia is on my short list. I will message you if/when I book a trip to Bogota!
Awesome video!! Now I want to go Argentina … again! Lol you guys make me hungry.
I ate so much meat during that week, I was half considering becoming a vegetarian. Now five months later and all I want is another Argentinian BBQ.
Extremely well made video with the narration and broadcasting of a professional journalist 👏

Muy bien chamo...
Looks very beautiful and modern city
Thank you.
BA is one of my favorite cities in the world. Thanks for watching, Ahmad!
On point... My wife and I stayed in BA for 3 months last Jul - Sep to get out of the AZ summer heat... It was quite cold in BA as its their winter but it was exactly what we were looking for. We hit many of the places in your video and then some. I've travelled A LOT in my life and BA is one of the best places I've ever been to, right up there with Tokyo, NY and Paris at a fraction of the cost. We'll be back for sure.
I'd love to call BA home for three months... try a new cafe for breakfast each morning, stroll the parks and neighborhoods during the day, and eat a steakhouse for dinner a few times per week. And yes, it is incredibly affordable compared to NYC, Paris, Tokyo, etc... How did you feel from a safety perspective while living in BA?
I totally agree with your comments. Buenos Aires is my favorite city in the world! I live in Washington DC and I have traveled to many countries in Europe. I like Buenos Aires a lot more than Paris, New York, or London. The hotels and food are amazing at a fraction of the cost of Paris, London, and New York
I hope your channel blows up, great video. Impressed with the quality. I thought I was watching a big channel until I subscribed
This is one of the kindest comments I've received. Thanks so much, Liam!
Although the economy in Argentina is devastated, to go as a tourist is a great decision, very cheaper restaurants, hotels, many beautiful landscapes outside of Buenos Aires, the best meat barbecue etc greetings from London
Great video Kevin. I'm heading to Buenos Aires in August and your video gave me some great ideas about where to visit!
I love hearing that, Colin! Please let me know if I can answer any questions you may have as you continue to plan your trip.
Love your style. I feel like I was watching a proper budgeted tourist channel. Great work mate
Wow! Thanks for those kind words, Luke. I'm a local news reporter in DC, but this is my first time dabbling in travel videos. My main goal is to find unique places around the USA and world that the average person (like me) hasn't been to before.
Very well done video. I am Argentinian and I believe this has been a fair depiction of Buenos Aires. I don't understand the comments of my countrymen here who are offended by the author talking about inflation. It is real! And we suffer it every fucking day.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, Luis. I always bring open eyes and an open heart wherever I travel. I hope to return to Argentina soon to visit other parts of the country.
Amazing video and welcome to Argentina! I hope you can enjoy your time here :)
My favorite country Argentina ☺️❤️
From Bangladesh 🇧🇩💐
It's a very special place.
I've lived in Madrid for a long time and I see so much similarities in both cities, especially La Avenida 9 Julio, which looks a lot like Paseo Castellana. The Spanish architectural influence is massive, but I am keen to visit someday and try the grilled meat! Thanks for a great job.
I just Google'd "Paseo Castellana" and you're right, it looks very similar. I've never been Spain, but would love to visit. Thanks for watching and commenting, Carlos!
This is the best traveling video I’ve ever seen on TH-cam!!! You just convinced me to visit! Word of advise: don’t let her go! She’s a gem!
Aww, Thank you that's the sweetest comment I've ever read!
Wow, thanks for such a kind compliment, Rodrigo! Please let me know if I can answer any questions as you plan your trip to BA. And yes, Jess truly is a gem.
Me encantó, Kevin excelente video ya quiero ver el próximo 👏
Thank you for the kind words, Pebels!
Well done. I spent 5 months in BA over two trips(2017 and 2019). Yes inflation is bad but not for people with dollars. It definitely feels like a European city….beautiful architecture amongst tree lined streets. Sidewalks are a disaster but that is ok. Thanks for bringing back some great memories
go to other cities or town your experience will go 100x better. as b a citizen i recomend go to tourist places like bariloche cordoba the mountains or the sea
Happy to help you relive your time in Buenos Aires, Alex!

Hello Kevin! I'm Argentinian and I must say you did a great piece on my country! I hope you enjoyed your time in Argentina...btw it's a massive country and BA is just one city albeit out biggest and I'm a Porteno however there are 24 provinces and much to see! As far as the economy we are always up and down and we'll be back as we always bounce back that said nothing will ever diminish the way we Argentinians like to ENJOY life for we know we are on this planet for such a short time that explains why we eat, drink and are out quite late😂😂😂 anyway enjoy and cheers!👍
Hi Carlos- Thank you so much for taking the time to share these kind words. They mean a lot coming from a true Porteno.
There is something to be said about living in the moment and not fretting so much about the future. I felt that energy in the people of BA. I would love to make a return trip to Argentina to document all the wonderful sites beyond Buenos Aires. Similarly, New York City is great, but there is a lot more to America beyond NYC.

I’m here in BA now - for the month of January 2023; to put things into perspective an Airbnb - if u know the owner directly - is about $20/day (avg rent in Recoleta is about $250/month for a one bedroom apt). A decent steak dinner at one of the great steak places is about $30 for two including a nice bottle of wine. The best seafood place in Palermo has a seafood mixed grill with wine and appetizer about $30 for two. My average Uber ride has been about $4 including tips. Blue dollar exchange rate has varied since I’ve been here starting 12/21/22 from 315-355 pesos per US dollar.
On the other hand - you will pay exorbitant prices for anything that’s imported. I had to buy a set of hair trimmers to shave bald and the Wahl set worth about $50 US cost $115 here.
True!
My stay in BA has surprised cheap coming the surrounding area of Silicon Valley. The food, Uber rides,and laundry loads (700AR$ ~2-3usd) My stay 1/4/23-1/17/23 the blue dollar value carried from ~230 - 330 ARG pesos per dollar. An American in the main tourist areas cost about 650 ARG$. The most I’ve spend on a dinner for 2 at a nice restaurant was about 19-25 USD.
@@xcorona7097 That sounds about right. The Argentinian economy is tragically upside down, but it is incredibly affordable for tourists right now, depending on the country they are coming from.
@Omari West what area would you suggest to find a AirBnb for 3-4 weeks?
@@HDMichelle33 - for airbnb i would suggest Recoleta, esp for ladies. It’s totally safe and near public’s transport and all the museums, great restaurants and bars etc. But not right in the middle of the tourist crowd. But I would rather hang out - not reside- in Palermo or San Telmo. More culture and flavor. I’m leaving now at the airport as I write this - hope you have a wonderful trip!
@@omariwest9068 Thank you! Hope everyone is safe there after that earthquake a bit ago. 🙏🏻 Safe travels and adventures!
very helpful video as I prepare for my trip to Buenos Aires next month. I'll be on the same AA red-eye!
question! Can you use Ubers there?
@@xhpfanx I'm jealous! I'd love to go back to BA. The red-eye flights to Chile/Argentina are long, but if you can fall asleep, there is limited jet lag because the time zones are similar to the U.S.
As for Ubers, I'm not sure. We relied on the Subway (Subte) and taxi cabs to get around. Both are incredible affordable. Just be mindful of pickpockets on the Subte. Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.
@@KevinAcrossAmerica gotcha, thanks for the info! do you happen to know the best way to exchange currency? i've gotten so much mixed advice.
@@xhpfanx - yes. I’ve been using them to get around BA this month - avg. $4-5/ride.
Hello there, I love watching your amazing Buenos Aires videos. I am planning to visit Buenos Aires in April next year. Sorry just asking If it is safe for a solo lady traveler like myself, to explore the streets. I would like to take some walking videos as I walk along the streets, like most youtuber here do. I understand that there are some places to avoid walking alone. Please advise. Thank you so much! Greetings from Malaysia!
If you can, see Ushuaia, it is a few hour flight, but very safe and beautiful, and not super hot and humid like BA in January. Giant crab, cruises to Antarctica, snow-capped mountains, my favorite town oin Argentina.
Hi Siti-
I think Alan and Sociology Nut gave you very solid travel advice for points beyond Buenos Aires.
As for BA, I was grateful to have my girlfriend as an extra pair of eyes while I filmed with my iPhone and DJI drone. She spotted (what appeared to be) pickpockets on at least three occassions while we walked around Casa Rosada, the Obelisk, and San Telmo. We didn't have that problem in the more residential neighborhoods of Palermo and Belgrano.
If you do walking videos, keep your camera low-key and remain mindful of your surroundings at all times. BA is much safer than Rio and other big cities, but the current Argentinian inflation crisis is leading to a spike in crime. I hope that helps!
this one was a very very good video, very profesional and i hope you will gonna go also in Brazil....besos..:*
Thanks, Ariela! Your comment made me research Bucharest, which looks beautiful as well. There are so many wonderful places to see in this world. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Feel free to subscribe too :)

@@KevinAcrossAmerica you are welcome. This video is engaging. I searched for Buenas Aires because in 2024, we are joining an Antarctica cruise and we’ll embark in that city probably we’ll spend 3 days in this city. We’ll pass Chile too so I’ll wait for your next post. 😊
Good clip enjoyed. I’d like to see Argentina. Looks quite prosperous, it’s had a history of boom, bust. The culture seems very rich and with Argentina winning the World Cup, must be a great place to visit.
Thanks, Andrew! The culture is beyond rich. And you're correct about a history of boom and bust, but it's sadly been much more bust over recent decades.
Such a cool video. It clearly depicts what a tourist can expect.
I'm so glad you liked it!
Food- rent - and travel around is really cheap in Argentina, but if you try to buy iPhones- electronics or cars probably cost you almost double of price that you pay in the us ( on same brands)
That's very good to know. Thanks for sharing that insight, Adrian.
Oh, and the editing, information given and your amazing narrative are great! Thank you again for making this video about my dear Buenos Aires. Come back soon! 😊
I loved my time in BA, Nadia! Thanks for the warm review :) I'll certainly be back at some point.
Thank you for visiting my country. Excluding the politics, inflation, and economic issues we have for like a century, it's a great place to live in, incredible food, friendly people, and our culture is very unique, a mix of italian, spanish and some other countries.
It'd be cool if you visit another time and try more food, wine, visit more places, etc.
Great video, I've learn some things thanks to you even living in Buenos Aires my whole life.
Wow! I'm so glad you learned some new information about BA. Very cool. I'm from Chicago and it too has a complex reality. It's a fantastic city, but struggles with brutal winter weather, high taxes, government corruption, and violent crime. Thanks for watching and commenting, Nicolas. Much appreciated!

Don’t forget the most important tip: Bring cash, US dollars. They can be sold in the black market at double the rate that when you use credit cards. Your bills get you double the amount of pesos.
You are exactly right, Ariel. Try to avoid using credit/debit cards at all costs.
My parents love going down to BA every few years as they love to Salsa and drink wine among pleasant people.
im romanian and i have romanian friends there, and also Bucharest is called The Little Paris, so basically if im gonna live there, it will be so similar with Bucharest, because many places there looks kind of same with Bucharest.....thats lovely...Paris - Bucuresti and Buenos Aires all same...niceee
Thanks for watching my video and leaving this comment, Ariela :)
I was born in Palermo, Buenos Aires but grew up in Corrientes Capital until I was 9 years old. Then moved to the U.S. and am now 41. I would visit Bs. As. but I don't think I would retire there. I'd rather retire to a smaller city in one of the provinces. Most likely the city of Corrientes (where I grew up). I have friends & family there. I have cousins in Bs. As. as well. I agree, it's a one of a kind city. The last time I was there in '97. IDK how it is now but back then (I was 15) I almost got mugged by three young men. We were riding a bus (colectivo) back to the Bajo Flores neighborhood. I was dressed in american way, jeans, sweater, Reebok sneakers, Seiko silver watch. All that caught their attention. Thankfully the people I was with knew where to get off. The guys yelled expletives out the window, which I didn't really care. I was glad I wasn't mugged, that would've been a horrible experience. As mentioned, I'd rather retire in Corrientes. It's slower paced, not as big and I have family & friends there.
Bajo Flores is not a nice place..it´s dangerous.
Nice. I have to visit one day. I have family in Buenos Aires. I’m from Virginia. Not too far from Washington DC in Arlington. The food looks delicious.
Lovely place you live in. I visited Alexandria many years ago while staying in DC for some time, I loved it.
@@vHumboldt77 Thank you. It’s nice. I grew up here. I do enjoy the seasons, but the only downside is the traffic here is horrible. Maybe in 20 years when I reach retirement age, I’ll move more south about an hour away away from all the congestion. Lol! In the meanwhile I’ll definitely have to visit to Buenos Aires. I’m pretty sure Buenos Aires has worse traffic but at least I’ll be on vacation focusing on the beauty of the city, arts and food. 😊
Lovely video. I enjoyed watching 😊
My number one goal is to produce content that is educational and enjoyable. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@evelinavila2897 I'll be visiting soon. It's hard not to be excited about how far our dollar goes, but that's only the case for me because of how expensive it is to fly there. I'm going to visit people that I've met online who I've grown extremely close with. The Argentinian people that I've met are amazing and the country is blessed in terms of its geography (natural resources and geographic diversity). I think the country is more likely to turn the corner and recover and prosper in the intermediate term than not.

Very limited and prejudice video, I visited Buenos Aires 15 years ago and I was impressed by the cultural richness of the City and its people. After arriving with my son to a Hotel my good Argentinian friends from NYC invited us to stay in their beautiful home and since that moment we where treated like kings with so much generosity and care for a week. I think Argentinians are very warm , friendly and extraordinary hosts!
I'm sorry you felt the video was limited in scope and prejudice. I had five days in Buenos Aires and did my best to capture as much content as possible, while also visiting with my girlfriend's family/friends.
Don’t worry, I understand your time limitation.
Dear friend , the argentines wey have a cult of friendship and hospitality and that is very popular with tourists. HURRY BACK brother.
Wonderful photography and narrative. Maravillosa fotografía y narrativa. ¡Estoy lista!
Thanks! It's amazing what an iPhone can do. I'm planning to buy a DSLR camera in the near future. I just haven't settled on the right one yet.
I think you are being a bit disrespectful with the title you chose. No surprise that the Argentinian peso is devaluated. But now you can live like kings thanks to us. You're welcome! Enjoy your trip and hope to have you here again when our economy gets better!

Would love recommendations for places to stay, carrying cash/dollars! It's time to step out of the comfort zone and explore! What a gorgeous city! Gracias, amigo! I'm subscribed!
Be careful, it might look good and georgeous but remember you are still in Latin America, it is not one the safest areas in the world.
Buenos Aires it's not safe, specially at night, be careful also of guys in motorbikes who look shady or suspicious, they rob people and go away with the stuff they robbed you,and it can happen very fast, we call them motochorros.
Don't get me wrong if you are a tourist you can have a good time, i've met tourists who traveled here and never got robbed nor experienced something bad but there's been a lot of cases of tourists getting robbed or even killed in a robbery, i don't want to scare you, I'm only trying to be honest.
Also learn some Spanish at least basic stuff, if you dont know much spanish dont worry, most people here have some basic understanding of english.
@@lg20a1 @davideast9332
Be as careful as you would in any big city, but don't be scared off by people telling you it's a shitty place, idk why but locals tend to talk shit about their own city... BA is the safest big city in South America (i would argue in the whole American continent, but I don't have that data). Just keep an eye out for pickpockets on public transport and shady non touristy areas, not much else, you can check the US advisories map and you'll see the precautions recommended are even lower than in most of European countries . I hope you have a wonderful trip and enjoy my beloved city.

Thanks for the kind comment, Adrián!
as an American this is my favorite video on Argentina that i have came across so far Great Job
Nice showcasing of Buenos Aires
Thanks, Martin!
Awesome video Kevin, the intro music, what group or song is that called sir? Enjoyed the video!
Happy to hear you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun putting the video together. The opening song is from iMovie. It's called Bossa Lounger. There are three clips: a short, medium and long version.
Que hermosa se ve buenos aires! saludos desde buenos aires
Gracias por ver!
8:42 En Argentina se llama cuadril, no picanha, ese es el nombre brasileño.
8:58 En Argentina no hacemos el asado así, se hace con brasas, no sobre la llama.
As a brazilian I didn't know it was cuadril.. thanks for teaching me hermano :)
Great video! Please keep going.
Thanks so much! Comments like this honestely motivate me to keep going. I'll be tackling this full time starting in February. I'd love if you subscribe and follow along.
@@KevinAcrossAmerica All the best! Greetings from Turkey
I am in Buenos Aires right now in November 2024 and it's not cheap and in fact it's prices are similar to other big cities especially when it comes to food. Housing, Transportation and services are a little cheaper but not by much compared to the US.
Its a lot more expensive but compared to the US or europe its still very cheap
Bounos airesh aryentina...😂😂..i like...greetings from mar del plata Argentina. 🇦🇷🇦🇷🤗

interesting video and city Kevin. nice work.
You filmed this on an IPHONE?! Wow. Is it color graded? What’s the trick?
I'm glad I impressed you! I shot everything on the ground with an iPhone 13 Pro. The drone shots were with a DJI Mavic Air 2. I edited the video on iMovie and probably relied on color grading in a few shots, but most of the video is in its original form.
How is the restaurant scene around the Puerto Madero district? Is there a taxi app to download? We are staying in BA for 12 days in August, 2023. Congrats on a nice video!
podes usas uber y esas apps, auque tmb hay una app de taxis
they have taxis at the airport, and you can use uber. Id avoid the people who randomly come up to you asking if you need a taxi though
Hi Farid - There are a ton of restaurants in and around Puerto Madero. I'm not aware of a taxi app, but it shouldn't be hard to flag them down on the street. They're incredibly affordable. Uber is also available, but we stuck with walking, taxis, and the subway. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.
@@KevinAcrossAmerica Thanks Kevin.
@@faridahmed2609 be careful
I am a US/UK dual national. I've been to BA twice and plan on living there for a year or two after I retire at the end of 2023. I already know that I want to live in Recoleta, one of the only places where it costs more to die there than to live there. The only other such place I can think of is Highgate in London. The only problem is that I'm vegan and eat neither meat, fish, nor dairy.
Don't let that stop you from coming, there are many places with a vegetarian or vegan menu, especially in Recoleta, Palermo or Belgrano. 😁😁
He is right. The gastronomy in Argentina is awesome and it has many vegan, vegetarian and diary free places in Capital Federal, So, good luck!
I can't imagine being a vegan in Buenos Aires, such a heresy =P
If you come to Argentina and avoid meat, then you'll be like any average Argentinean! Since only the rich can pay for a steak now!
Almost all restaurants and fast food chains have vegan menus. We also have vegan food companies like "Felices las vacas" that are dedicated to selling all kinds of vegan food
Nice ! Greetings from Sydney Australia.
Thanks, man! I may be traveling to Australia in a few months to film a bunch of episodes. Please feel free to share some Oz "hidden gems" with me if you have the time.
@@KevinAcrossAmerica hi Kevin, I can suggest, the Great Barrier Reef in QLD, Ayer’s rock or even the Northern Territory. Very humid but nice weather.
A somewhat idealistic depicting of BsAs; I have lived in Belgrano since 2003, European and have observed life conditions worsen year after year. There is a lot of poverty in Argentina, and security is now a day to day concern. Now, you will say it is in every big city the same.
As a foreigner, I will recommend that you always apply common sense and avoid the non so-called "tourists" zone. Even in Puerto Madero, Palermo, Recoleta, avoid pulling out your latest iPhone in the street. I am not saying you should be weary of doing anything. Just be careful. BsAs is a place where cash is preferred. Some street hoodlums will mark you as a target if you look too touristy.
As for what is shown in this promotional video, yes. Those places are there. But there a lot of desperate people trying to find money to fight the incredible inflation.
I live in a protected neighborhood, but I still look around when I walk, to make sure strange people don't follow me. I speak proper Spanish, but my non Spanish accent sells me as a non Latino. Even if you easily blend in in Argentina, keep voice low as it is a give away. Keep this in mind if you look for "Blue" dollars in Florida Street. The best deals are done with people that change higher amounts of dollars, such as 1k or more.
Last and not least, bring $100 notes. Those are the preferred ones by the changers.
Well stated Pisk.
I am brazilian. A flight hostress. So I am used to travel and sleeping in other places. I almost got robbed in Recoleta when I stayed in a hotel there. And being from a safe town in Brazil... Gramado... it felt really scary.
Argentina economy would be better if it had access to its resources vast oil fields and fishing grounds all the best Argentina from Scotland
ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 💙 🇦🇷
A very special country.
Nice video Bro!!!!!
Thanks, Chelo! Comments like this motivate me to keep pumping out more travel content.
11:12 "More psychologists per capita than any other country in the world", I think there is a pattern developing here. Psychologists, lawyers, and self serving politicians don't really add much to the GDP, IMHO.
You're right, 99% of our politicians are lawyers and they are a cancer on our society. Greetings from Argentina.
Buenos Aires is on my bucket list. Looks like a fun city with fun people, rich culture and $5 for a cab ride across the city certainly sounds like a good deal. However, the food looks very unhealthy. I hope it's not hard to find salad, grilled fish or grilled chicken in BA.
Salads are easy to come by. Chicken and fish won't be tough to find either. And yes, how can you not love a $5 cab ride across the entire city. I hope you're able to make the trip to BA happen!
