Has anyone had any recent experiences with United's Petsafe program? I'm moving back to the States with my two cats in July. Technically, the idea is for me to fly home alone and have my husband send me the cats a few days later through Petsafe. But I've read conflicting information about...

Fellow BAExpat member, Terrie Orr (aka BAHAirdresser) is in desperate need of a home for a dog that she's been fostering for the past week. Anuka was found in Plaza Las Heras a couple weeks ago and Terrie was kind enough to take her in. However, Terrie will be traveling and needs to find a new...

Next month I'll be moving temporarily to Montevideo (about 4-5 months) for work. Since my Argentine husband will be staying in Buenos Aires while I'm there, we plan to do a lot of traveling back and forth between the two countries on the weekends. If anyone is in dire need of dollars, maybe I...

I was happy to stumble upon this website today: http://www.dafiti.com.ar Very similar to Zappos. Good selection, decent prices, good exchange/refund policy, online payment, free shipping in Buenos Aires (and some other provinces).

Start preparing for fall and winter! I'm selling women's coats, jackets and vests. All items brought from the US (except for the cream vest) and in mint condition. If anyone is interested, PM me. You can try anything on before buying and I'll give you 15% off if you purchase directly from me...

Very interesting article from The Economist about the credibility (and lack thereof) of INDEC’s stats: http://www.economist.com/node/21548242

So here's the deal...tomorrow night my little brother heads back to US. He needs to buy back dollars so he'll have a little travel money. But how? He has an expired tourist visa and no receipts showing that he exchanged dollars for pesos during his nine month stay. I know that all banks will...

I'm helping someone who just got his TEFL certificate find teaching work here in BA. He's received an offer to give my coworker and his three children two-hour conversation classes once a week. Any ideas on how much he should charge per hour for one adult and three kids?

If you plan to move back to the US with your foreign spouse, as I plan to do next year, the process for filing a Petition for Alien Relative (I-130) is about to get much harder. After August 15th, the US Embassy here will no longer be able to assist. You will have to file directly with the USCIS...

My brother will be moving to Buenos Aires soon for a one year stay with us and would like to enroll in a culinary arts program while he is here (preferably a 3-10 month certificate program). He speaks no Spanish, which rules out a lot of the great cooking schools in the city, unfortunately...

My husband and I are looking to make the move from GBA to Capital and someone said we should check out the Villa Ortúzar area near Chacarita/Colegiales. Does anyone know if this area is relatively safe? Rental prices seem pretty low, which makes me wonder a bit...

Forgive me if this was already posted on the forum (I don't believe it was, although the title sounded vaguely familiar. I searched for it here but didn't find anything). This is quite an interesting article from Andrés Oppenheimer of the Miami Herald... Kirchner's death may mark end of an era...

Yesterday I purchased a dental whitening coupon from Groupon but accidentally bought two coupons instead of one. Whoops! I could either wait weeks or months for a credit card refund or just sell the coupon to someone. I paid $300 pesos plus an extra $45 in interest so I could pay in 3 monthly...

I just purchased a great studio apartment in Palermo Soho that I will be furnishing and renting out to foreigners. I want to rent it out through a temporary rental agency and hope to have them basically manage the apartment. Can anyone recommend a good agency to go with? Are there any that I...

If anyone out there is looking for someone to create and manage their Google AdWords campaigns, feel free to PM me. I have 4+ years experience in the field and work at one of the leading search marketing agencies in Buenos Aires. Business is good but I'm always on the lookout for side projects.

My husband and I are searching for a 1-2 bedroom apartment to buy (US $50,000 max). We plan to live there for about a year, until we return to the US, and then rent it out to foreigners or sell. We'd ideally like to get something in one of the following neighborhoods: Belgrano, Palermo...

Does anyone out there have an Ecuador guidebook (LP, Moon, Rough Guide, VIVA, whichever) that they'd like to sell? Preferably one that was published within the last 2-3 years. Thanks!
