After our trip to Uruguay with my group of investors, my wife and I snuck off and took the ferry to Argentina for a few days to check out the country and spend a bit of time together.

Today I wanted to share with you some thoughts on Argentina and what I saw there...

First, we had a great trip, I don’t want to take away from that; I was so grateful to be able to explore Buenos Aires with my beautiful wife and just have a bit of time just the pair of us.

Saying that Buenos Aires really appeared to be a previous world city that was desperately in need of a powerwasher and a fresh coat of paint (or two).

The city has so much history and so much to offer it was amazing.

We had incredible food for dirt-cheap prices. Watched a world-class symphony in a stunning opera house. Toured modern art museums, visited 400-year-old palaces, and learned about the architecture and where the inspiration came from from the designers.

But at the same time, the city was run down, there was graffiti everywhere, and we were warned about safety by many locals.

It’s such a shame; this place could reclaim its spot as a world city and expat hotspot if the government could just get their crap together.

Corruption is rampant, inflation is at over 100% annually, taxation is brutal, and crime is through the roof. 

I could see spending a month or so in Buenos Aires every year but never enough time to change my tax status. 

We visited friends and had a fantastic time, and there were so many excellent people there. And if Argentina could figure out a few things, I would upgrade my rating for expats, but as it stands now, I feel like it is a great place to go and visit, but not to stay.

If you want to discover the best countries and cities in the world for expats, then I encourage you to grab a free ticket to our upcoming summit that is kicking off in 3 weeks:

We will be discussing dozens of countries and really going into depth on how to get residency there and what life is like for an expat.

Speak soon,
