Despite the fact that my wife and I love to travel and would give anything to be back on the road right now, there aren’t many places in the world that we’d like to actually call home. Buenos Aires is one of the few exceptions, and it would make a fantastic destination for any expat for a variety of reasons. The culture is unique and easy to fall in love with. The food and wine is amazing, especially if you’re a fan of the color red. The different barrios give the city a unique feel, as though there are several cities melded into one. Add in the parks, the...
Why I Chose to Study Abroad in Argentina
What you need to know:
Deciding where to study abroad is a fun, yet challenging exercise
It's important to have your own priorities clear when you're deciding where to study abroad
Argentina is a great option if you're looking to study Spanish abroad

Although most people are familiar with Argentina’s cosmopolitan capital, Buenos Aires, few realize just how large and diverse the country of Argentina really is. At about 1/3 the size of the continental U.S., Argentina truly has something for everyone, from the breathtaking Iguazu Falls to the salt flats of Salta, from the vineyards of Mendoza to the glaciers of Patagonia. Get ready to dance in the tango capital of the world, horseback ride through pristine mountains with real-life gauchos (cowboys), and fall in love with the proud, kind people that make up the beautiful country of Argentina...
