Finally, after so much debate and back and forth, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was convicted in the Vialidad case, a huge corruption scandal where she favored her friends with fraudulent public works contracts. Many of the projects were left unfinished, overpriced, or simply never done. It was...

I have a friend who did it a few years ago in Martínez with just a passport, no problem at all.

So apparently Trump is not too happy with Elon these days. Word is he’s been privately venting that Musk is “disloyal” and has a “huge ego” (lol, takes one to know one?). Kinda wild considering not long ago they were besties, remember Elon sitting on those economic advisory boards during Trump's...

Given the concerns surrounding Thursday’s immigration decree, I thought it might be useful to share a quick summary. In short, unless you're a dual citizen, the changes could potentially affect almost any foreigner currently in the country, or planning to visit. It's definitely worth taking a...

I was in Bariloche recently, and let me tell you, if you think prices in Buenos Aires are high, don’t even think about going to Patagonia. Everything there is insanely more expensive than in BA. Beautiful place, but wow... the prices are next level. 😅

Honestly, I saw the recent controversy about what Ricardo Darín said on a TV show regarding the price of a dozen empanadas. And yeah, we all understood it wasn’t really about the empanadas, it was about the fact that everything is insanely expensive in Argentina. I was surprised that even...

You don’t necessarily need to bring the money into a bank account in Argentina. The funds can be transferred directly to the seller however you both agree, whether it's through international bank transfers, digital wallets, or even crypto. In the property deed, it’s simply declared that the...

Good to know, thanks! BA Taxi is a good one too, it connects to official taxis so you don’t get scammed. I also use Cabify when I don’t want to deal with surge pricing on Uber.

Hi Meghan, having a car was definitely the way to go for checking out the different towns around there (I only did Jujuy myself). Just a heads-up though, the roads can get pretty rough, and you might even run into some flooding, so just keep in mind if you're cool with driving in that kind of...

Alright folks, heads up! 👀 Seems like Caputo's got something up his sleeve. The minister just dropped a hint that they're about to announce a measure to boost the use of dollars in the economy that, according to him, is going to be a real jaw-dropper. 😮 So, what could they be cooking up? Some...

Haha well, now he’s got his eyes on someone new! 😄 I have to admit, he leveled up this time lol. People are saying he’s being linked to that journalist Mariana Brey…...

Yeah, honestly everything is so volatile right now that it's hard to make any solid plan. A lot of people are just holding on to their USD and waiting to see what happens, especially since the Blue Dollar is once again becoming more favorable. The MEP was great for a while, but now with the gap...

You might want to check out La Librería Del Ávila in San Telmo. It's not just a great spot for books, but also an experience, it’s one of the oldest bookstores in the city, and stepping inside feels like a journey through time. You’ll find a wide range of titles there, and it’s the perfect place...

Looks like Trump is the new Perón, huh? 😆 First, it’s "America First," and now he wants to take away the best beef in the world from Americans... What’s next? A political party to abolish barbecues? I mean, no one’s saying U.S. beef is bad, but Argentine beef... that’s on a whole other level...

Just a heads up, there’s a general strike on Thursday. It will likely disrupt flights, public transport, banks, government offices, and various other services. Make sure to plan ahead...
