    Argentina isn't the cheapest

    Super impressed with your 125 countries too. I hope to get there one day. I’m on 42 countries but still in my twenties so plenty of time to catch up!

    Argentina isn't the cheapest

    You keep hitting coincidences for me! Just as I plan to fly to Bangkok in a couple of weeks, you provoke a thread full of useful information about Bangkok

    Amazing Therapist for Ex-Pats or Locals - Super affordable

    I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a thorough and explanatory reply. I’ve never used a therapist before, and perhaps culturally I tend to prefer to try to keep my sadness pent up inside where it can fester quietly as a mental illness (r/unexpectedFuturama) It certainly is...

    Amazing Therapist for Ex-Pats or Locals - Super affordable

    It seems rather surreal timing for me to see such a post for something I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I need/desire. Thank you for the recommendation. May I ask if she could also recommend another psychotherapist? It’s something that I want to pursue with my partner, separately, and...

    Tucker Carlson in Buenos Aires

    I regularly read the Daily Mail (I’m from the UK so I’m not sure what the equivalent would be in the U.S.) despite that I don’t agree with its editorial stance - it’s interesting for me to digest media from all sides. I am relatively ignorant about Tucker because I’m primarily UK based but from...

    Tucker Carlson in Buenos Aires

    Have I missed something? I’m not from the US but in the same vein that I view the daily mail and GB news as satire, isn’t this Fox new presenter beyond the point of satirical? Does anybody really care what he says? I don’t, but I’m curious to understand those who do

    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    Starmer is fairly Blairite which I think contributes to timid market shock, certainly compared to if Corbyn was the government in waiting. In any case 13 years of Tories has been a disaster, for those who aren’t cronies at least. 2007 seems like such a prosperous time compared with now. Almost...

    AEP stopover Question

    I feel guilty you thanking me when my advice was sub-par. It sounds odd to say, but I’m glad your flight was delayed, to at least give you some breathing room! Enjoy Cordoba, I plan to visit the other Cordoba (here in Spain) very soon

    AEP stopover Question

    Sorry for not understanding this, interested to hear about your experience. Enjoy Cordoba, would love to visit someday, sadly only my stolen iPhone has visited Cordoba 😅

    AEP stopover Question

    Fair point, my example was intra-Europe but outside of Schengen, and henceforth I presumed the same would apply. In any case, if rechecking baggage is required, and on the same airline within the same airport, just shy of 3 hours should be sufficient. It’s the airline’s responsibility, if I’m...

    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    Also if Panama is corrupt, I dare to think what the UK with our offshore tax havens are. Every country is to a degree corrupt, money is the ultimate string-pull

    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    Personally I find revoking abortion rights a lot more radical than dollarisation. I’m asking this question because I truly don’t know the answer, is revoking abortion rights popular in Argentina? If it is popular then I understand why it’s a prudent policy to pursue, but if it’s an unpopular...

    AEP stopover Question

    Also as an addendum as I’ve just seen your example stated it may differ from Americas to Europe, I’ve flown to Buenos Aires via Sao Paolo quite a few times and my checked baggage has always carried through

    AEP stopover Question

    I’ve done quite a few transfers like this. If you purchased your ticket with the same airline they will check your luggage all the way through. My most recent time I did this was a month ago from Sofia to Corfu via Athens. I was also nervous so was sure to double check with the check in staff...

    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    I don’t know if this is the right place to pose this question, though I feel the topic has drifted sufficiently that such a question remains on topic, would withdrawing protectionism policies that Argentina maintains be beneficial? Please correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that Argentina...

    NYC Airbnb New Regulations, Will BA follow?

    I didn’t find your reply at all condescending, I found it refreshingly honest and matter-of-fact. In hindsight, I think there’s a certain irony of me redirecting blame to property owners, while I exercise geographical arbitrage for my own economic benefit. Thank you for the good luck. In many...

    NYC Airbnb New Regulations, Will BA follow?

    I really appreciate your comment. I recognise, even if I’m at the tail end of my twenties, that I can be naive, stupid, short-sighted and quick to yearn for less complex economical times. I certainly agree that many people in their twenties believe they’re owed something for nothing, that’s a...

    NYC Airbnb New Regulations, Will BA follow?

    I hoped to be thoughtful but I didn’t expect it to be articulate. It was a drunken vent, written from a corner of Andalusia, to distract from a slow-motion relationship breakdown Despite that I use airbnb to facilitate my lifestyle, I recognise that it is extremely problematic. I hate that I...

    NYC Airbnb New Regulations, Will BA follow?

    Just for some clarity, as somebody in their twenties, participating in any economy these days feels like starting a game of monopoly when 3/4 of the board is occupied and without the benefit of collecting $20 after passing go. The bulk of what there is to be had, has been had, and even owning a...

    NYC Airbnb New Regulations, Will BA follow?

    I feel that I may trigger some controversy but this is my take. The perspective I tend to find is that, outside the 1%, there are two classes: those with assets, and those without assets. Those with assets want to sustain a certain quality of life off the passive income of those assets...
