  • Are you moving to Buenos Aires? Wondering what life in Argentina is like as an expat? Well, as an American living in Buenos Aires, I sure learned a LOT during my time here, and I'm exciting to share it with all of you!

    I've been lining in BA for over a year, and I love it too! I'm a digital nomad/refugee from Russia. In my case I can compare BA to Moscow, and here is the noticeable difference:
    1. Yes, be careful when crossing the road, including zebra lines :) The rules are different here.
    2. Airbnb is expensive indeed.
    Better to use local accommodation web-sites in Spanish. I rent a room in the central part of BA for about $250 monthly rent price (electricity, wi-fi, all bills included). It's not a luxury room, but it has air-conditioning, there is a big kitchen in the house, washing machine, a roof terrace with grill equipment, and all the necessary things for comfort life and for work from home. It's also possible to find a nice small apartment with air-conditioning for $350 here, or something bigger if look farther from the central part of the city. Supermarket monthly costs used to be around $100 when I came here, and now it's up to $150 per month (since the official exchange rate is being fixed).
    3. The city is beautiful indeed and very diverse in terms of architecture! Which makes it more fun to explore. The parks are beautiful here as well.
    4. I totally agree about the food, very well explained :) Oh, and the wine is great here. A bottle of a nice wine might have a price from $2 to $5, which feels super under-priced for the quality given (it’s about 5 times cheaper if compare to Moscow wine prices).
    5. Two rates exist. Right now the difference between the official rate and blue dollar rate is not significant as it’s used to be (now it’s about 25% difference, not a big difference if compare to x2 difference as it used to be). But yeah, it’s still better to google the good rate place in advance.
    6. I agree about the culture :) And I admire it. It’s very warm if compare to the place from where I came from. I felt safe walking around, including nights, asking policemen and strangers for direction pieces of advice.
    7. Something personal to be added. The difference between dictatorship and democracy is indescribable to me... The air of freedom is priceless. Human life and rights matter here. It's like to compare a life being under the gun and a normal human life, which I hope more people will choose.
    BA and Argentina have lots of potential! And I hope it will become a capital for digital nomads from all over the world!

    Thanks for visiting. BTW "merienda" is not exclusive to Argentina but a Southern European custom. You'll find it in Spain, Portugal, Italy and almost all their former colonies. So if you visit any other countries in LatAm you'll be able to enjoy their traditional meriendas too.

    I had no idea airbnb's were so much more expensive until after I booked mine. Going to try to use other sites for the next place. I'm also really liking the food and drink in BA. And finding so many vegetarian restaurants too!

    If you are thinking about moving to Argentina. Don’t sleep. Buenos Aires, the capital, has everything. We don't exactly know how much success Milei will have… But obtaining citizenship is relatively easy.

    hi Claire! great content and thank you so much for sharing. I am Canadian and thinking of heading there soon, but wanted to ask you if you open a local bank account there and get a bank card? How about starting a business and opening a small company? thank you
