Would definitely look local for something like that! Same if I was looking for a Boxing or Muay Thai instructor. How common is Tango with locals that are 18-35 years old? That's another thing I'd be possibly interesting in, whether it's going to free classes or actually getting a teacher.

Some examples? I've heard Spanish teachers and fitness trainers are very good examples of this

Thanks for the tips! Favorite city outside BA to say in? Definitely want to check out the south of Argentina and also Mendoza. In terms of a longer term stay though (a month or so) Cordoba looks like a really cool spot.

Appreciate the advice Tigre, definitely makes sense. Have definitely found myself the last month really focusing on people speaking Argentine Spanish (Dustin Luke, shows like TyC Sports, Argentinian TV on YouTube). My Spanish is maybe 6/10, but do you think the locals in BA appreciate foreigners...

Thought it would be interesting if people that live in Argentina and/or have traveled there shared some of their steps on how to thrive once arriving. Things that people likely wouldn't know unless they did a little bit of research about the country. Can be anything....ways to save money, how...

.......This was a general question for future reference (A year later)

Thank you. Do you see a big difference in prices (food, entertainment etc) in Palermo compared to less tourist areas of the city?

This is very true. In Florida kids are playing sports (certain restrictions but still playing) and starting today bars and restaurants are back at normal capacity. Bars are now open until the late hours of the night for the first time since it all started.

Tigre, appreciate the comment, I agree it makes a lot of sense to improve my Spanish/learn more about the culture right now. ¡Don’t worry, soy tranqui! I’m already building my network in my industry, most of which are BsAS natives. Continuing to do that while learning more Rioplatense. I’m a...

Since people seem to be referencing my post- asking a general question and planning your entire trip RIGHT NOW are very different. OBVIOUSLY if BA was still not doing well nine months from now I wouldn’t go there, I’d go elsewhere. Until then I choose to live with my glass half full and without...

I’m sure this has been different for everyone, but is there usually a maximum amount of visa runs you can make to Uruguay before they don’t accept you and/or get very skeptical. I’m sure six months (one visa run) would be fine, but curious if people had issues doing two to four visa runs in a...

Thank you. Thought the same (bring $100 bills with me) but was nervous carrying a huge amount of cash on the journey (airport, flight, Uber to the Airbnb)

Haha! My parents are from Glasgow. (Castlemilk and Easterhouse). Despite being from Los Angeles I had an accent until I was 8. To this day I’m one of a few people from the United States that can understand fluent Glaswegian

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and the information.

Haha no I will wait until July. Hopefully things are better by then

30 year old male. Girlfriend is also 30. I'm from Los Angeles (parents are from Scotland/Escosia). Girlfriend is from United States also. I grew up playing/watching a lot of Futbol. Conversational Spanish but I love Argentine culture so I think I will keep getting better and more Porteno

Haha working on my porteno sayings!

Thanks everyone. Probably staying six months, but curious if anyone has experience doing multiple visa runs to Uruguay? I'm sure the first time is fine, but any trouble if you are doing that for 12-18 months?

Thank you, will definitely improve my Spanish before going over. Also focusing more on Rioplatense (I grew up in South California so it's more Mexican Spanish that I speak)

If you are travelling from the US (for 3-6 months) is the smartest thing to do is download the Western Union App then look to exchange? I'm guessing you need a WU account for all this?
