If Trump does NOT win, you can count on seeing me at some coffee chats for years to come.

Good evening, everyone. So, as many of you know..it's tough getting a steady job starting from zero in Buenos Aires these days, and I'm one of the few that totally crashed and burned within 6 months of trying it. In my post-trip analysis of what i've experienced and my brainstorming on how...

Hey, everybody. My 3 months expired 3 months ago. I have a 8.30pm flight. If i did the normal early arrival at the airport, say 5.30pm, would that be enough time for the argentine customs to figure out how to charge me the 300 pesos to quickly escape their country? Thanks.

You cook well? haha

I´ve noticed that there are a few things of the american chatarra that just can´t be found here, and would like to know if anybody has the resources or interest to start cooking this stuff up for the porteños. I´ve tested out a few of my own versions of some classics (which i shall not reveal...
