I did it. Booked my flight to Argentina!
For someone who spent years living out of backpacks and bicycle panniers, it was harder to do than I thought. Except for a trip to London a few years ago for work, I've been taking go-nowhere holidays. I think I may have become too nested. As well as ultra frugal.

But I wanted one more adventure before the next Great Depression. Plus, it'll give me six continents on which my hooves have tread.

It helped that the airfare dropped $300 since this morning.

So anyone have some Argentina tips?:hi:

2. Don't expect us to cry for you
Have fun, Argentina's high on my list of places to visit and just sort of roam around in.

4. Now you're just rubbing it in
That's awesome. I'm not wicked jealous or anything.


Have a great trip!

5. I only know Buenos Aires, not the back country.
But I can give you any tips on slang or food you like. I lived in BA for two years.

6. Are there any parts of the city to avoid at all costs?
I like to go walkabout exploring cities. Though my sixth sense has been pretty good, steering me away from dodgy areas.
