A Texan in Argentina, a traveler sharing her adventures and mishaps, a picture taking wine drinker and a yoga teacher! I hope you enjoy!
A Texan transplanted in Argentina, I've spent nearly a decade living abroad from Europe to the Caribbean, but mostly here in Buenos Aires. I'm a yoga teacher, a traveler, and a wine drinker that likes to take pictures.

🇺🇸 or 🇦🇷 schools…
When I think of why I love having my family in Argentina, it always comes down to the communal and family/relationship focused culture. The US is an individualistic culture, which has it’s benefits but I have to say, as a mom I prefer 🇦🇷.
What do you think?
Is Argentina safe?
This is a common concern and a question I get asked all the time.
Argentina IS safe, but like anywhere in the world, you do need to be careful. Here are four tips for staying safe in Argentina:
1. Avoid using your phone on the sidewalk, particularly near the edge by traffic.
2. Don’t wear expensive jewelry, leave diamonds and heirlooms at home.
3. Get a travel insurance that also includes electronics theft like SafetyWing, allowing you to insure your valuables that you can’t live without.
4. Never leave belongings in site in your rental car, especially in Bariloche and the surrounding lake district in Patagonia.

Is Argentina racist?
The internet seems to think so.
It feels like an orchestrated attack as bots and people who have never been here propagate accusations on social media about Argentina being the most racist place in the Americas (or possibly the world, if you were to believe them).
The truth is that history is nuanced.
I was hesitant to acknowledge this at all because I’m no expert in this subject. But I am familiar with Argentina and its people. I love it here and know that plenty of people follow me that may not see the history based responses to this wave of hate that I am seeing.
So I have put together these slides to help inform anyone following me that wants to learn more.
It’s not comprehensive, it can’t be. But I did do this thoughtfully and intentionally. I welcome additions and thoughts in the comments.
🇦🇷 For more, I highly recommend tours with the following agencies to learn more:
Lunfarda Travel 🇦🇷 offers very informative tours including the only Afro Argentine history tour (take this tour!). They also offer a Jewish Heritage tour. They are located in Buenos Aires.
Historias de Bariloche offers extremely informative German history tours and also indigenous history tours in Bariloche. Learn about Bariloche’s THREE waves of German immigration (because as I said, it isn’t all n***s).

Vamos Argentina!
Si se puede!
What a night.
Mirando el partido en El Cuartito "La Buena Pizza" es algo que nunca me voy a olvidar.
