Slow Travel: How We Prepare To Arrive in a New City | Buenos Aires, Argentina

As slow travelers, we have a bit of a routine that we follow to prep for our arrival in any new place. This routine reduces my anxiety and helps me feel ready for our next adventure. We just arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Buenos Aires has over 15 million people and there are so many things to do here. Some of the culture reminds me of other South American countries, but other things are quite different, like managing our money with the high inflation rate here. So here are 5 things we do to prepare for our arrival into a new city.

After a lifetime of traveling and working I took late retirement at 70 so I could travel like a rockstar. 73 countries so far won't die before the money runs out or the booze in business class. Try the Hemmingway Bar at the Grand Hyatt in Buenos Aires its free. Hyatt sent a car to pick us up at the airport. Went fly fishing in RIo Monso in Patagonia just up the road. Have fun.

I got scammed by a persistent taxi driver upon arrival at the airport.... way over charged me! Won't get caught like that again. Agree with you re checking beforehand and ensuring no one takes advantage of you. Enjoy!

Thanks for letting us know. That seems to be such a common scam. We hope the rest of your trip went well!
