Buenos Aires for a Single Lad. 🇦🇷
It can be hard to find this type of content, so I'll go through my experience from when I first arrived in Buenos Aires until now, with some recommendations for any like-minded lads.
This will stir the pot, but for me traveling is all about doing it solo. I’ve experienced it all, traveling with a girlfriend, one mate, and mates, and while I do enjoy this from time to time, for me, there is something addictive to arriving in a completely new city/town solo, on the other side of the world to where you're from, and experiencing a new place on your own terms.
Especially in your 30s, with career and money behind you. I threw my professional career away in Australia, maybe because I’m just a nutter, or maybe because in my head I couldn’t get to the age of 40 without turning over some stones and traveling to Latin America.
Since then, and well over a year ago, I’ve come to realise I’m a strange type of traveler, quite introverted. I don’t want to be called a digital nomad and my style of traveling certainly isn’t backpacking jumping from hostel to hostel, hitting up free walking tours, with a couple of days in each place, sharing a room with 18-year-olds living off Dad’s money. It’s booking an Airbnb and doing it all by myself, then if I like the place, staying longer and, somewhat, assimilating into the culture. This leads me to discuss my experience in Argentina as a single lad.
