Permanent Porteño
As I prepare to leave Buenos Aires, it’s easy to wonder what it might be like if I were to never depart. A tempting thought, it allows me to ponder a new life in Argentina. Although there are many factors that go into making an international move, it’s fun to explore the exciting aspects like…
Don’t Miss This
After living here for a number of months, I have curated a list of my favorite places to visit, eat, and drink coffee. If you have the chance to visit Buenos Aires, you absolutely have to go to these places. MALBA This museum reminds me of a tiny version of the MOMA, but almost…

I met Martin at the restaurant at La Casa de las Boyas, a beachside hostel nestled in a remote beach town in Uruguay called Punta del Diablo. Martin worked at the restaurant for lunch and dinner and received a small wage along with free accommodation at the hostel. What made this friendship different from many…
Interning Abroad
At this point in the semester, I am starting to look back on my first few weeks abroad and how those initial impressions have changed since then. Now that I’ve been at my internship for a couple months, it is easy to reflect on the transition process that I experienced as I entered the new…
