Why I Couldn't Leave Buenos Aires

[@vincentprado]

I've lived in Argentina and in Europe, and often I read that Argentina is a bit of Europe in South America, but immediately I think it's great that it's only 'a bit of Europe,' because it's that blend that makes Argentina special. In Argentina, there's still empathy, you still see children and lots of young people, pets are important but... less important than children, people still ask you 'How are you?'. That's the beauty of Argentina. If you're just after architecture, go to Europe. This is something else, a mix that's hard to find elsewhere.

[@TravelWTravis]

Amen! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Huguillon]

Yeah, the only "bit of Europe" is Capital Federal, where are all the snobs and elites, and the south where all the Germans went, the rest of the country is very very latin american

[@estudiantes68]

@@Huguillon Most people live in the Pampas (Cordoba, Buenos Airesa, Santa Fe), and all towns in these provinces feel quite European.

[@vincentprado]

@@Huguillon i dont think so, only the NOA is very latin american.

[@skeptic9991]

​@@Huguillon Every country in the world has people who live outside the capital city or main state/province and harbor a bias against those who live there. This bias is generally unjustified and irrational. Capital cities tend to be "nicer" for very objective reasons: more people live there, more resources are allocated there, which results in greater cultural influence and options. Harboring a bias against people living in the capital does not make you smart or special; on the contrary, it just makes you a bitter person looking for conflict where there isn't any.

Hi, great video. I'm English and have lived in Buenos Aires for 15 years, having first visited in 2002. It's one of my favourite cities in the world, for sure. Very glad I live here. Friendly and welcoming people, varied architecture, wide avenues, beautiful parks, and loads of trees lining the streets. It's a bit of Europe in South America.

[@TravelWTravis]

The best!

[@A_friendwithoutbenefits]

Not sure about friendly people, BA people have that typical capital city arrogance you get in places like Paris and London. They are mostly nice once you get to know them though. Agree with everything else

I've been infatuated with Mexico City ever since my first trip there in 1996. Been there dozens of times, sometimes spending a month or two at a time. I've only been to Buenos Aires three times but thanks to Travis, I'm planning to go for a month next January. I'm thinking I may feel the same as you afterwards, ReluctantLawyer.

You put in words what it is. The inhabitants of this magestic city and how they live it. And how the public space is used from the richiest to the poorest, in the same way. Buenos aires is one of those democratic cities, where we all use public space and transport.

[@nohaylamujer]

Oh boy, do I relate. I arrived in BA in 1982 to teach English on a 6-month contract, and I stayed for 32 years! Every six months I'd start planning my return to the US, but there was always something holding me back, nothing I could put my finger on, some kind of magic. I didn't like the summers, but as soon as the weather got cool, I just had to stay for another fall and winter. And the men... I had three long-term (and I mean LONG term) relationships. Real men, not afraid of commitment or expressing their emotions. Such a rare gene pool and heritage mix. There was always something going on in the city. Opera, concerts, parties, cruising, art, new friends. I don't live there anymore, but I'll always cherish the memories.

[@MrZumbrota]

BA is amazing. The food, the culture, the museums, the architecture is spectacular.

[@TravelWTravis]

I love Buenos Aires. I visited there back in 2005. I stayed at the Panamericano Hotel and got to see Maradona. He was at the same hotel doing a press conference. It was pretty cool! He is a big soccer celebrity there. The city is beautiful! . The Argentine men are gorgeous! No joke! I was turning my head all the time when walking in the streets of Buenos Aires. LOL... Anyway I visited too many places but one thing that I never forget is the cemetery where Eva Peron was buried. A lot of history there. Also Casa Rosada tour. Have you try the famous Alfajores Havanna? If not, you must! "It's a pastry made with cookies and creamy dulce de leche caramel. Can't wait to see your next video in Argentina!

[@TravelWTravis]

Haha everyone was so gorgeous! I didn’t make it on a Casa Rosasa tour this time, so I’ll add it to the list - thanks!!

Buenos Aires has improved even more compared to 2005, a remodeling plan was undertaken for the entire downtown and historic center, with leveling of sidewalks to semi-pedestrianize them in the European style, and the historic center: San Telmo has had a similar treatment, highlighting the entire environment and with strong commercial investments, to transform it into the new "Palermo Soho" kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5Wcgmlqi7ukaq8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHSVlWqDlL6KiqM kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpeof2OMfb-UhNE

You now Travis we porteños use a word to describe our relationship with BA, "nostalgia". Though every porteño will describe it differently, to me, nostalgia is a mix of sweet old memories that are gone with your confidence about good things to come, despite the difficulties of life. I think BA, maybe like no other city in the world, makes that feeling possible. I think you do not need to be born in BA to be a legit porteño, but you need to understand nostalgia. If any day of your life, you find your self leaving BA, and while you are on the cab to the airport, you start to feel a tiny sensation in your belly growing up to the heart, and that feeling tells you that maybe you don't want to leave, maybe you stayed enough in BA to feel nostalgia.

@@elfrazier I wouldn't call it calmed down but it's not a level of danger that affects most people. Like gang violence in Mexico or usa, could be extremely high, yet your average person is unaware unless they check the news. One current problem the last two weeks is different from January and February is the level of security forces that we see daily is less now. And it seems like gang to gang are back to levels from before the state of emergency. But there are obviously places, like Cuenca, which is better overall but normally is safer than coastal areas. Suffice to say I don't currently suggest people come visit because the enforcement efforts are really inconsistently applied

[@facundosoler2200]

Your final thoughts relate to a mixture of things and feelings you get when you're in Argentina (not just Buenos Aires but any province in Argentina). There's both a sense of hapiness or just living life outside on the streets, sharing your time with others, talking face to face with friends and family but also a bit of melancholy as well. There's 'something in the air' that is truly hard to describe. I'm from Cordoba city (province of Cordoba) and my experience is similar to yours. I always enjoy my short 2 / 3 day trips to Buenos Aires just because there's an endless list of places to visit and things to do but I like my city better as it's a little less chaotic and crazy to me. Glad you enjoyed Argentina so much ! Saludos !

You should definitely check out the Barrio Chino - it’s very busy but full of cafes, food stands and also a good place to buy any specialty grocery items (including vegan) which the standard supermarkets may not carry. There are a ton of cool neighborhoods to explore…I have spent months in BA and didn’t come close to seeing it all. But I really like the Belgrano/Colegiales area for living. Close to Palermo, which is also fun, but with a little more local vibe.

Im from BA. One video that could be interesting and could work well for people is the different neighborhoods of the city. That is something special from Buenos Aires because each one is very different. From San Telmo or Monserrat (downtown) to Palermo, Recoleta and Belgrano, to the more family oriented like Caballito, Colegiales, Villa Crespo or Chacarita. And the ones that foreigners dont know but are beautiful like Villa Devoto, Núñez, Couhglan or Ingeniería. I dont know if you are still in the city but if you ever come back, just walking around its barrios is an activity itself. I live in Caballito by the way, on an avenue called Pedro Goyena.

Seeing the sun come up on the Rio de la Plata on the Vicente Lopez beach area is another spectacular view. Finally, other interesting things to do are to take tours of old buildings, take in all the beautiful sculptors and have a coffee every afternoon in a different neighborhood.

Our economic situation clearly makes things difficult, and our country is far from perfect, but it makes me sad that a lot of people from here thinks we suck because of it.

I hope you visit other cities in argentina too.. the falls in puerto Iguazú, Tilcara AND cerro de 7 colores in jujuy, the whales in puerto Madryn, el chalten y perito moreno in santa cruz, the end of the world in tierra del fuego, drink wines in mendoza, Bariloche, Los esteros de ibera in Corrientes, Iruya in salta, Fiambalá in Catamarca & La Cumbrecita in Cordoba.. you will fall in love there..

[@ricardoaraoz717]

Right, so if you're staying I might recommend a couple of tours. Go to Retiro train station and take the Mitre line, make a stop in Vicente Lopez and take a walk around, then stop in Olivos, same thing. Finally go to the end of the line to Tigre and take a boat tour and walk around. Maybe one day is not enough for all that, but you should check it. And since you're here you can't leave without visiting the cities of Mar del Plata, Pinamar, Cordoba, Salta and Mendoza. In that order, maybe Mendoza before Salta. Completely different vibes but as charming as B.A. Cheers

Thank you so much for all the recs! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ricardoaraoz717]

@@TravelWTravis "Thank you so much for all the recs!" - my real recs to you : i. your backpack over left shoulder only and under your left elbow, you won't look so tourist. ii. if you have a seat at a street table don't put your backpack over the seat besides you, hang it over your knee between your legs, much safer, no one will grab it and run. Have a nice stay.

[@mdougf]

Wow! So cool to hear that you didn’t want to leave! I’m heading to BA this weekend and plan to stay for a month, but I’m open to staying longer if I like it! And I hope I do love it 😄 your video got me more excited

[@TravelWTravis]

Have the best time!! ❤️❤️❤️

im from Argentina, thanks for pasing by and your really kind words!

[@SatansTesticls]

Buenos Aires looks so pretty!! Reminds me of some areas in Mexico City. I’d definitely love to go there someday. Happy you had a good time :)

[@TravelWTravis]

Definitely reminded me a ton of CDMX!

[@alejandrapena4814]

La verdad es que la Ciudad de Buenos Aires no se parece para nada a la Ciudad de México. Tienen muchas más similitudes a la Ciudad de Paris y Madrid

[@juantorres-dj3fn]

Dont think BA looks like México City except some blocks of Condesa or Roma Norte.

[@federicostritzler7650]

@@alejandrapena4814 No creo que se parezca a Paris, tampoco a Madrid ni a CDMX Apenas algunas zonas recuerdan a esas ciudades. Pero Buenos Aires es mucho más que eso. Cada barrio es único y diferente de los demás.

I used to live in Palermo and I miss it, in my opinion is much better than Miami or manhattan. It’s a big city but it’s not crowded so it’s perfect balance

Very nice video about Buenos Aires city. Touching sometimes... Thanks because when I see these videos about my country made by foreigners .... Make me love much more Argentina

[@tomasbazzanni2399]

hermosa ciudad como siempre! nos alegramos de que lo hayas pasado de diez!!

[@TravelWTravis]

Gracias!

[@TheGraphiteCovenant]

food places: Pizza: La mezzeta (fuggazzeta slice), Las Cuartetas, Guerrin (both the regular muzzarela) and maybe el cuartito. asado is always better with friends and family, home made empanadas in buenos aires are mid compared to empanadas saltenias or tucumanas (two other provinces), but two good places in capital federal are Fortín Salteño and Cumen Cumen

[@veritush]

as a local, the one thing that made my heart rate raise like anything else in this video was every footage of you walking away from your camera 😅 i was constantly thinking "this kid is going to get robbeddddd so baddddd"-- happy you weren't, but please know that you've been lucky! hope you and your audience visit us soon- not just BA, but also the many natural wonders our vast country has to offer 😊

[@Kevin-et5zs]

It's been a few years since last I visited Argentina, looking forward to coming back!

[@dominiquetheeasyminimalist]

The algorithm suggested this video, and I thought "Hum, I've seen you before"... Yep, I had watched all your videos and was subscribed when you were in Mexico! It's nice to see you again, and resubscribe. Wishing you all the best on your new journey! Cheers from Montreal 🙂

Hi Travis. Thanks for the great video! Really enjoyed it, seeing some places I visited when I was last there 15 years ago. It's a beautiful city and I hope to be back. You should check out the neighbourhood - La Boca! Looking forward to your next video 🙂

[@TravelWTravis]

Thanks so much for watching! ❤️❤️❤️

[@SebastianMenaXiandu]

I left Buenos Aires 10 years ago to live in Barcelona. Watching this made mee miss sooo much my city :(

[@aldizenit7733]

Buenos Aires is the most beautiful city I ever been. I lived here my entire life and never want it to leave. You’re more than welcome to come back. I encorage you to lear more about the dictatorship. I liked that the guided said Puerto Madero is one of the whealtiest neigborhood cause sometimes tourist only see that part and think we all live like that and that’s not it. I would recommend you to go to Agronomía, it’s a huge park open and it has a part of de Buenos Aires University (free education!) It’s lovely and the second saturday of everymonth has ferias. (It’s not in the center and it’s not turistic but I recomend it as someone who knows BS AS by living in it) I’d love to see another video of this city, greetings!

[@TravelWTravis]

Amen to all of that! And there will be more videos coming - working on them now!

[@porcerain]

Glad to know you enjoyed! You're welcome here anytime :) Also, if you like snow/cold weather and mountains, I recommend you visit the south of Argentina!

[@24sarafina]

Great video Travis, you truly showed the beauty of Buenos AIres. I have serveral friends who make annual trips now I understand why. I didn't know what to expect considering the economic downfall and the inflation rate. I guess some people are still doing well. I hope you do stay there longer I would lover more information about this beautiful city. Your editing skills are great. All the best.

We Argies are masters in surviving the most devastating cyclic economic crises, it happens everytime a liberal-conservative (in the european sense not the US sense) comes to power and try to dismantle the Welfare State that made Argentina different from others in the region

Cuando veo videos de Mi pais en otro idioma y visto con ojos de turista, verdaderamente me habilita un lagrimeo y una sonrisa repentina, de ser una sociedad que fue suceptible a tantas situaciones que hoy es un país totalmente en comparacion global, con una potencia social totalmente optimisma e inspiradora... Amo tanto a Argentina... Hogar de mis antepasados italianos, y bendecidos por recidir en este hermoso pais desde el s XX, en una cuna Nacional muy peculiar y hermosa por donde la mires... Te quiero siempre Arg

As an argentinian who lives in Buenos Aires makes me really happy and proud that you wanted to stay here a bit longer. BA has a lot of things to see, it has history, culture, the food, the architecture, and most important: the people. We have a country that feels homely and everybody can feel that ♥️

Hi Travis...glad you liked our city. Only one correction : the zoo was closed many years ago and has turned into an Eco Park. The animals that still live there are waiting to be relocated, as the case of Sandra , the orangutan who was declared as a"non human person" and sent to an animal Center in Florida, the lions and white tigers went to Minnesota, and the Grizzlies to Colorado...Have a great time...!!!

[@TravelWTravis]

Ah thank you! I did see that it was Eco Park, but wasn't sure if that was some combination of zoo and park? Thanks so much for clearing that up though!!

BA was supposed to be my home but I stopped off in Costa Rica to see a friend and ... 22 years later 🙄 I've always liked the Tigre Delta -- easy day trip from BA. Punta del Este in Uruguay was, ummm, interesting. Actually Uruguay is very close for day trips. Also loved Ushuaia (The End of the World) -- stunning scenery!

[@TravelWTravis]

Haha 22 years later! I was too busy falling in love with BA, but next time I’m going to get out of the city and explore the rest of the country bc there’s so much down there!! ❤️❤️❤️

I remember you ! Café con leche in Merida ! Merida is wayyyyyy too hot for us but we do plan to check out BA. We are currently living in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala AND LOVE IT ! Perfect weather every day, low cost of living, safe, friendly people…. Think a retired couple could live comfy in BA on say $2000/month ?…maybe in San Telmo or one of the less pricey areas ? Thx !

[@TravelWTravis]

Haha hiiii! So glad to hear you’re loving Guatemala - I need to come check it out! I’m not sure about that budget in BA - it can definitely be done at the moment, although the country is going through an economic crisis at the moment so not sure what will happen to prices in the future 😬🤷‍♂️
