Reflections on world travel

Since I a year in Buenos Aires, Argentina people sometimes questions spent me what was my experience and I would recommend it.

For example, here is a current reader question and my answer:

Hey Brian,

It may in Argentina? is it cracked as well as his being and so inexpensive? how much costs ($) it to life really good down there?
R.D.

My answer:

Hello r.d.;

I want it too expensive as I think some people online have.Some serious Armut.Aber located outside the city inside there are some nice areas and certainly can another cool way of European culture with very nice people and good Essen.Ich would say, you can easily anywhere life on from $1000-$ 2000 varies from one month, but of course this is a lot things are based on your Geschmack.Die not drastically cheaper there (even more, some less), but I would say that on average, prices are about 25-50% cheaper than in the US (of course you can don't deserve so many US dollars while you are down there).

Overall I am very glad I did it and I think it is one of those experiences to me as a person helped grow try not buy in tales of the journey as some mystical Erfahrung.Es a city such as elsewhere, with good and bad Menschen.Nehmen is it for what it value and enjoy it as a fun experience with a partner or as a process of self discovery on your own.

Compared to other places I traveled in the world have, BA definitely there in the top 3.

Thank you very much

Further thoughts

A surprising result after a trip is that I definitely a much greater appreciation of the United States abroad,

People tend to romanticize foreign countries say people appreciate the important things in life, or are happier with what you have, or run generally simpler life based around noise, your E-mail 20 times on the day and being oriented to career.

It can be beautiful, this experience as a temporary reprieve from a busy life, but for the people who actually live abroad this romanticized idea quickly verdunstet.Mehr corruption exists (I witnessed both bribery by inspectors of the police and the city while in Buenos Aires,), taxes are higher, creating a big grey market) and there are plenty of counterfeit and petty theft. crime is an attractive option for people with fewer opportunities in life.

The U.S. has many shortcomings, but strictly on economic opportunity I have not seen a better place, still life. for me at least this is key, although clearly any difference has priorities.

Until next time keep breaking free!
