Kel is a store that specializes in English books- you can try them! It's on Uruguay and Alvear. Suerte!

Hi, My boyfriend and I will be leaving Buenos Aires on Saturday to live on an organic farm in Chubut. We'll hopefully be living on a vineyard in Mendoza after that and won't be back in BA until March. We don't want to carry EVERYTHING we own, which means we have 2 suitcases (1 large, 1 small...

We read this thread and decided to try out Damblee, on Av. Rivadavia, and it was AMAZING. The portions are huge...I got swordfish and potatoes, covered with a creamy sauce that had a few oysters and mussels in it- $55. Unbelievable price. We also got the fried calamari for appetizer-...

Hi, We're a group of 4 girls who need more ladies to play soccer! Eventually we'll play around the Belgrano/Palermo area, but we need more people. We're trying to find women that want to play every week so that it can be a continuous thing. Message me if you're interested! Thanks!

Hi, I would love to meet. I just sent you a PM. Let me know if for some reason you can't get it! Thanks

Hi! I'm a 22-year-old female native English speaker from Mississippi. I recently graduated from a university in the US and will be living in Buenos Aires for 4 months. I'm having a great time exploring the city, the people in Buenos Aires are so great! I'd love to babysitter or nanny for...

I'll just be prepared to bring clothing that I'll know I'll need to throw away at the end of our year adventures due to wearing them too much! Just to throw this out there: IF anyone is in desperate need of something (10 pairs of socks, 10 pairs of Hanes underwear, or whatnot) and willing to...

Thanks for all the help! So what do women normally wear out at night to dinner/dancing? I'm trying to limit my clothing since we will be traveling around South America for a few months after living in BA. I'm thinking about bringing a pair of heels and a couple nice outfits and/or dress up...

No no, I know Spanish, but I'm a native English speaker, so I'd love to tutor English speakers in Spanish. It would be almost class-like, starting with the basics and learning one conjugation to the next.

Hi, I'm starting to pack for our big trip- I've searched blogs to see what women wear in BA (I feel like I'll always be underdressed, ha) but I was wondering about the cost of clothing down there. Are American clothing lines popular/expensive in BA? for example, is Abercrombie or bcbg popular?

Hi, I'll be moving to Buenos Aires in September for 4 months. I know it's a little early, but I'm CRLA (College Reading and Learning Association) certified - I'd like to tutor English speakers in Spanish. Sometimes it's hard for a native Spanish speaker to teach a native English speaker how...

Hi, How old are you? My boyfriend and I are 23 and moving to BA in September as well. I found a great flight from Miami to Buenos Aires for $360 on www.sta.com. It's a "student based" website- it asks if you are a student, under 26, or a teacher. I'm not sure if one of those three is a...

Hi, We're moving to Buenos Aires for 6 months in September. Reading all the blog posts, I'm excited about finding a job but nervous (rightfully so) that I won't be able to find one. I've been practicing yoga for about 4 years now and currently teach children's yoga. I would love to teach...

Just read the last thread post.... no need to answer my second questions. Any other advice before leaving the states? Something that one of you feel was NECESSARY and wish you had known?

I really appreciate all the information! We're definitely coming with enough savings to last us a few months. Regarding myself, I'm a Corporate Communications and Spanish major and a minor in Linguistics. I speak good Spanish (moving to BA to perfect it). I'm very responsible and have great...
