Expert Buenos Aires, Argentina

I have been fortunate to spend over a year of my life in Buenos Aires, Argentina; spread over three seperate trips. I have a good sense of what each seperate neighborhood holds for those travelling through and the different experiences one can hope to find within the city. I've lived in 2 vastly different neighborhoods, worked part time and made numerous friends down there. I would welcome the oppurtunity to help others plan their trips to Argentina.

Favorite places I've been:

Buenos Aires, Cartagena, Cape Town, Mozambique, Sicily, Corsica, Cambodia, Namibia, Ireland, Thailand, Siem Reap, Panama, Bali, Iceland, Florinapolis, Iguazu, Cusco, Managua

Places I want to go to:

Bulgaria, Romania, Finland, Norway

About me:

I've been fortunate to travel abroad for 4 of the last 7 years, getting bitten by the bug while a senior in university. Travelling has not only become my strongest passion, but my primary source of education during my twenties. I hope it continues down the road...

I'm fired up on:

The strong sense of family you can find when the right group of people come together in the hostel environment. So many times I've been lucky enough to be part of a group that came together from all over the world and hit it off, for a brief period of time and the relationships were sincere and long-lasting.

Travel style:

backpack...hopefully without the lonely planet

Quote:

"Adventure without risk is disneyland" - Douglas Coupland

Sports I do:

Tennis, Volleyball

Favorite artist(s):

Basquiat

Favorite books:

Shantaram (Gregory David Roberts)

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

That dick that stole my iPod

I want to make a difference by:

It would be great to be able to motivate others whom may not feel they are capable of travelling for long periods over long distances...letting them know that not only is it possible, but that you learn to travel by doing it.

Languages spoken, other than English:

Spanish

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

I was teaching tennis to kids in Buenos Aires

Why I travel:

I never knew what I was capable of until i left the states

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

Bolivian Salt Flats

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

Angkor Wat

Before I die I'd like to:

go back in time and do exactly the same things abroad that i did the first time

Let's collaborate:

love travel writing, let me know if i can help

French Cars and Swedish Obsessions

Three months it took for Mark to convince me to travel. Three months of Buenos Aires lifestyle, luxurious and rich in taste, everything at our disposal. Mark wanted out, wanted to strap on the backpack and make our way north for the sights and sounds of South America. I wanted to wait and see if...

Protection From The Elements, Bolivian Style

By morrisabroad | Location: Bolivia | 04/06/07 | Pics: 2

Mark and I made it northbound across the Bolivia/Peru border last week on a hellishly uncomfortable train. If I have learned one thing about Bolivia, it is that they are on an entirely different schedule than the rest of the world. We have been lucky enough to stay in places that could be termed...

A Scandinavian Mary Poppin's Kick-Ass Shit Tale

By morrisabroad | Location: Colombia | 04/02/07 | Pics: 2

Arrived here (here being northern Panama) last week after a 7day sailing adventure from Colombia. Mark and I chose to sail from Cartagena to Colon. We hooked up with an English guy and an Irish lad, and hunted out a boat and captain to hire for the ride northwest. We met a sketchy 65 year old...
