I agree and disagree. First don't use a debit card or a credit card. Pay for anything in cash if you can, use the blue market rate you will double your money 💰. Next use public transportation it is cheap and safe and efficient. You noticed he didn't mention any gun violence you don't have to worry about that in Buenos Aires. A personal tip use a money belt you can put your money, telephone or any important paperwork that you may need you will find Buenos Aires Argentina safe,clean a beautiful city. You will never get bored in Buenos Aires. And they have many many open green parks that are clean and safe and totally free to use and the people of Argentina use them day and night. I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for nearly 10 years. Oh I forgot if you are coming from the United States use Western Union to send money 💰 to yourself and pick it up in Argentina you will get more than double the official exchange rate. And another thing that I discovered go to the Western Union office and pay directly in cash. Because you can send a 1000 dollars to yourself and pay only a 8 dollar fee, but if you use a debit card you pay a 54 dollar fee and a credit card you pay a 87 dollars fee.
@@MrFooChopsfunny because that confused me too. I thought person was saying go to Western Union in Argentina to send money to yourself and maybe you can do that if you put it in a Credit Card?? I don't know myself...I've never used Western Union! And the person didn't answer your question they never do!😜!

This is no different from being in NY, or any large city. I never had a problem in Buenos Aires, and I've visited the city several times. As a matter of fact, I'm going back in August. I have felt far more unsafe many times here in the U.S., than I have ever felt in Bs. As. One has to always be aware of one's surroundings, that's just common sense.
If you live in NY, in Buenos Aires you will feel like you are in paradise. There is no racism, there is no racial tension, you don't have to fill out forms proving your race, there are no crazy snipers, and there is a nightlife that is family friendly, and many other benefits. The reasons for this video are not particular to Buenos Aires, but to every metropolis in the world, even less so. In Latam it is the capital with the lowest crime rates, as well as Uruguay and Chile.
Dude, wearing your backpack in front tags you as a person who doesnt know where he is going. Its easier to target you that way. Do that inside public transportation but walking on the street like that is just marking yourself as lamb down here.
Las veredas pueden estar rotas en algunos lugares, pero no tenemos cuadras y cuadras de gente drogandose y viviendo en carpas en Piladelphia o Los Angeles.
@@StephenAldaco Una pregunta ¿cuál es el objetivo de este video de tocar el tema de la seguridad en Buenos Aires? ¿hacés lo mismo sobre cada ciudad donde vas? Lo digo porque es extraño que pongan tanto énfasis con Argentina siendo de los países más seguros de la región.(sin negar los casos de inseguridad lógicos)
@@fabiangonzallezcapo6060 El propósito de este vídeo es mostrar a la gente qué esperar cuando se viaja a Buenos Aires.

The purpose of this video is to show people what to expect when traveling to Buenos Aires. I think there is a misconception on America media making places in South America seem more dangerous than they actually are. I loved Buenos Aires I hope to come back soon & I encourage anyone reading this comment to go experience it for yourself!
🇲🇪🇳🇱🇺🇸🇱🇻🇫🇰🇪🇸🇩🇪🇩🇴🇦🇹🇰🇵🇲🇽🇱🇮🇫🇷🇨🇦 Would've liked to hear what you do with the things that you decide not to carry, like a debit card, do you leave those at the hotel? Thats like a quandary i always have because if i take it, i might get robbed and if I leave it, it might "go missing"!!
True I did not mention it but I did not carry my debit card just enough cash for the day and my credit card. I also carried extra cash just incase in my sock or on a money belt where I carried my ID
@@StephenAldaco But, in ref to "my quandary"..sounds like you're fine leaving things back in hotel room. I suppose between the two, I should trust the hotel better than "the streets"....although I must say, I've never been mugged! 🙏.
I think Palermo is the safest. I really liked almagro maybe a little less safe but in general I feel BA is very safe. You may loose your things but not your life I would say.
Cars do NOT have the right of way. Even by law. If you are crossing the street on a zebra pass and theres no traffic light the person walking has the right of pass. And i can asure you most of the time drivers will let pedestrians go first. The bag on the front he is over exaggerating. I mean he is walking through Palermo on the day, really no need at all for that. Many people do that when in the subway, train or bus when its full, but that's something you would do on any crowded city in the world. "People are trying to take what you have and re sell it" lmao dude nobody is trying to grab anything from you. 100% exaggerated video.
I come from Mexico and i don't think cars have the right of way but we always ran when a car was coming so that we can get out of "their way"...lol! I'm in USA now and I still run! But in general even if they want to yield to me, I yield to them so that if theyre going to turn, they can do so faster than me, then I can just take my time.
En general son seguros, aunque desde mi punto de vista, los taxis son más seguros, lo peor que te pueden hacer son esas pequeñas estafas, pero imposible que suceda un hecho grave, algo que con Uber no lo podés tener tan seguro.
Using cab service companies (the ones that show their phone number on the door) is not a problem, because they are cabs controlled by a private company.

Do you mean go to a Western Union in USA and pay yourself so u can collect in Argentina or do it all in Argentina?

Thank you for the update

how to stay safe anywhere in the world... "DON'T WEAR STUPID ORANGE GLASSES THAT SAY KICK ME...!!!!!!!!!"
Bahahaha agreed.

Las calles de Los Ángeles están locas por las personas sin hogar y las tiendas de campaña en este momento, es muy triste

Entiendo
Un saludo
So, Buenos Aires is like New York, kinda! Except for cars. What is a Malanga?
Yeah very similar! Milonga Is a tango dance party
I would say most countries in central and south America you want to run away from police too.
solid vid amigo
Muchas gracias amigo! Thanks for watching
How not to have a "desvalijar" moment, lol.
Do the police check the passports of foreigners at random?
No I’ve never heard of this

@@gabrielort3531 Yeah If they have a safe in the hotel thats great. I was staying at a house that had a lock so that would be my preference have fun!
Thanks for your tips. I’m a digital nomad working online. What is the safest area to live? I also use coworking spaces a lot

@@StephenAldaco come india one day.
@@lokat000 you bet I will is there tango in India?
@@StephenAldaco what specifically is tango from your point of view, because I have many meaning of tango in my mind.
@@lokat000 like Argentine tango dancing you know?
Why don't you make a video about how to stay safe in a USA school/university??
Oh gezz I don’t want to touch that subject
Go to school, be kind, and stick up for people when they’re getting bullied.
Learn jiu jitsu and boxing/kickboxing.
What a stupid fucking comment. This is a helpful video nerd 😂
great tips! what’s a Balanga(sp)?
Milonga is a tango dance party 💃

Are Ubers as safe as taxis?
Yea no problems
En general son seguros, aunque desde mi punto de vista, los taxis son más seguros, lo peor que te pueden hacer son esas pequeñas estafas, pero imposible que suceda un hecho grave, algo que con Uber no lo podés tener tan seguro.
Using cab service companies (the ones that show their phone number on the door) is not a problem, because they are cabs controlled by a private company.

jjjajajaja el país más inseguro
Jajajajajaja
Quite the contrary. it's one of the safest countries in South America. Also, Buenos Aires is a beautiful city and worthy visiting.
A typical third world countries, and it could happens in San Francisco or New York . I am just saying.
Lo unico que haces es quejarte .
Un video bastante paranoico por cierto.
