    We sold everything to start a new life with our 2 kids in Argentina. I don't know how long we'll stay, but so far it's worth it.

    We owned a stunning house in a lovely UK village, and the boys were happy with school and friends. We left all of that behind and moved to Argentina, my home country.

    Travel Is a car worth it?

    Considering the proximity of San Isidro or Vicente Lopez to Martinez, is it truly practical to own a car? In certain situations, I've found that relying on a local "transportista" or a private cab for commuting to and from work, as well as for other travel needs like grocery shopping, can be...

    Newcomer Who's considering it after thinking they would never...?

    Been here since early 2007. Have spoken positively and negatively on this forum of a city I have come to dearly love.
