➡ ABOUT ME
My name is Crosby and I'm a solo traveler, digital nomad, and full-time traveler! After a few corporate jobs throughout college, I quickly realized that the 9-5 lifestyle wasn’t for me. So in 2019, I took the leap into the freelance world and started traveling the world full-time - from solo traveling Mexico to road tripping Portugal to living in a travel trailer, I'm absolutely addicted to this lifestyle. Now, I'm spending the next 3 months exploring Argentina!

Lo que pasa que Colonia es un lugar histórico y pequeño. Tendrían que haber ido a Montevideo .

Keep up the great content Crosby always amazing content 😊

Loved the quick escape vlog ❤🔥

[@kazzicup]

That was a dream pool ! And the suite magestic.

Can't wait for Patagonia!!

[@andresmontero1908]

The mosquitos' invasion took all as by surprise (today end of march there are still quite a lot around)- From time to time (maybe each 15/20 years) it happens, but not such a huge cloud. They are supose to come from more tropical climate travelling down by Paraná and Uruguay rivers, because of unusual heat, rain and humidity. Climate change, we think, is putting things worse. If you keep on living at Buenos Aires you´ll have the chance to visit Montevideo and the east coast of Uruguay in the future, I hope so, and with no invasors. Keep on travelling and enjoying.

[@scottman895]

Despite the mosquitoes, Colonia looks beautiful! I could easily spend a day or two there.

[@ggl2947]

Believe me, Colonia del Sacramento is just to visit one and only one day, otherwise you'll be bored to dead and counting the minutes to come back to Buenos Aires trust me

[@heyjavonnejay]

I experienced a LOT of mosquitos in Guadalajara (especially in Zapopan) 😫 I've never been bit so much in my entire life! I know what a damper that can put on things. On another note, those empanadas looked amazing!

[@NikkiTomlin]

I am blown away by these mosquitos! Holy shit!

[@hcarpam1]

I would have pampered myself at the hotel and pool.

[@cindyk3076]

Wait, what? You didn't plan anything for Uruguay? (Lol) What a cute town, it's a shame you had to deal with the mosquitos, but as always your glass is half full and you find the best in a not-the-best situation. Patagonia, yay!

[@cmdstraker]

The city itself looks amazing, but my God, these bugs would drive me crazy.

[@jimmyglen]

Too cold for the pool?

[@Sinergy42]

Cuantos días se quedan en Argentina? Saludos !

[@luisleoni233]

hi guys! this was the first really insanly bad experience about mosquitos in this city, im from BA. But i think maybe the global warming and also the amazonas cuted by Bolsonaro in Brasil changed everything and increase the tropical weather in summer here. Also we have the corriente del niño this time and bring a lot of rain.

[@ggl2947]

El calor que llega al norte de Argentina y centro este proviene de la región chaqueña del Paraguay y Bolivia, que puya el calor que ingresa desde los humedales del Mato Grosso del Brasil, no proviene del Amazonas y pasa el calor con más facilidad por la deforestacion en Bolivia y Paraguay

[@RedroomStudios]

el nino possibly. the other reasons? nonsense.

[@RedroomStudios]

I dont get travelers who say stuff like - this place is only worth staying for a day, there isnt much to do. sounds like heaven to me. this "doing stuff" is way overrated. maybe you will get it in another 25 years. shitty deal about the mosquitoes both here and in Buenos Aires. I know I had one or two trips where mosquitoes were a pain (of course I cant remember which ones they were now), but certainly nothing like this. maybe in northern Ontario in the month of May. I'm also not a fan of the brown sea water in this part of the world, although the sunset sort of fixed that problem.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

took that ferry and nearly bought a Vineyard in C.

[@alejosanchez3063]

I see you weren’t aware of Colonia being a small town before going there. It’s a historical town and one day is enough. It’s usually visited while travelling to other parts of the country. You should plan better.

[@marcc629]

I spent some time in Uruguay just to get it off the list. Was ok, similar to Argentina in regards to culture. Not much to do in there, one day trip should be fine.

[@kakaroto7578]

[@BaronVonBattenberg]

Colonia is way too expensive and Uruguay in general as wealthy Argentineans have properties there.

[@Agustina-pr1lu]

argentina no pincha ni corta en esto. Siempre metiendo a esa gente

[@Raluz57]

No puede comparar una colonia inglesa como la Argen.simia y Falklands, que es una enorme villa miseria, con un país del Primer Mundo independiente como Uruguay.

[@LogicReel]

Colonia isn't expensive, the old town and surroundings (aka: the tourist trap) is expensive. The rest of Colonia is cheaper than Montevideo.

[@aquelpibe]

Qué tendrá que ver eso con el costo de vida en UY?

Cómo no van a quedar impactados los turistas al disfrutar de la paz, cultura y belleza de Colonia cuando vienen de ese infierno lleno de corrupción, violencia, inflación, miseria y descontrol que es Mileilandia Argenvillamiseriantina...?

@@martingaray185 Ni Buenos Aires es una gran villa miseria ni Colonia es "overrated". Como porteña, Colonia me parece precioso. Y me siento privilegiada de haber nacido en CABA.
