The Humans of Argentina

I have been a big of Humans of New York (HNY) for a few years now and if you are not following them on Facebook or Instagram, I highly recommend it.  I am always fascinated by the stories that each person has, how much can be seen on their face and the way they hold their body versus what is completely hidden.  There are times that HNY goes on the road and heads to a different country.  Those are the stories that I love the most - so many things are experienced the world over, while some experiences are truly unique to the culture and circumstance of the individual.  I believe to truly know a country, you must know its people.  So here is just a small peek at some of the beautiful people I came across during my stay in Argentina...

Palermo Dining Guide, Part Two

2/2/2018

1 Comment

 
When it comes to dining, Buenos Aires has it all - from fine dining to hole in the walls and the quality of the food (not to mention the meat) is excellent!  Of course, like any city, it is impossible to go to them all but I was seriously impressed with each and every one of the restaurants I was able to make it to.  My main focus was in the Palermo neighborhood as this is where I was staying and also the area that most of the best restaurants are located.   As a continuation to my previous Palermo Dining Guide Post, here are the remaining 5 places of my Top Ten list...

Brasero Atlantico

Brasero Atlantco is an extension of Floreria Atlantico, the speak-easy next door that is one of the top bars in Buenos Aires.  I loved the small but open space where everything is cooked in a wood-fire oven.  They served the best steak I had during my entire trip, which is pretty impressive given how much I had tried!  Portions are generous, bring a friend.

In a city filled with great food, stunning architecture, vibrant color and beautiful people - I must say that the trees are what stole the show.  There is an enviably amount of greenery in Buenos Aires from its parks to its city streets - this is a place that truly embraces nature.  Here are a few of my favorite green finds...

Buenos Aires is a city bursting with color, you will see the full range from soft pastels to vibrant jewel tones.  The beautifully painted frescoes throughout La Boca to the quaint little flower shops on each corner, reveal the love for color here.   This post is nothing but a shameless display of my favorite eye-candy moments...who doesn't love a little color therapy on a gray winter day?

Palermo Dining Guide, Part One

1/15/2018

As a lifelong resident of California, I must profess that my standard for food is pretty high (as are those of my VoyJoie clients).  I spent a lot of time researching the food scene of Buenos Aires and really wanted to hit the current highlights, which I am happy to report are many!  The Palermo neighborhood, in particular, has a huge array of choice and is known to be where the best restaurants in the city are housed.  Below is the first half of my TOP TEN guide to Palermo Dining...trust me, it is worth going to Buenos Aires even if you do nothing other than eat!  Buen Provecho!

The Art of Graffiti

I have always been a fan of street art and found Buenos Aires to have some of the most creative expressions of any city I have traveled to.  I stumbled across these masterpieces in every neighborhood - from San Telmo to Palermo and each discovery was more exciting than the previous. 

In a city filled with gorgeous architecture and lush parks, the graffiti seemed to only enhance the beauty all around.  As the infamous quote by E.A. Bucchianeri reads...Art is in the eye of the beholder, and everyone will have their own interpretation.  For those of you looking for some instagood backdrops, I highly recommend you head to Buenos Aires, it will not disappoint!

I am a firm believer that where you stay during your vacation sets the tone for the trip.  A great place in the right neighborhood is equivalent to a dozen good meals in my book.  And as I always tell my clients, "If it ends up raining all day, you want to be staying somewhere that makes being indoors special."

Mapping Out Argentina

1/2/2018

1 Comment

 
As the second largest country in South America (and the 8th largest in the world), Argentina has a lot of ground to cover - literally.  When planning my trip, it was really important to me that I get a mix of city and nature, to hit a few must-have destinations while still leaving room for things a bit off the beaten path. Loaded up on tons of visual inspiration (thanks to my VoyJoie Pinterest Boards), my first round of editing allowed me to narrow down my choices to 5 key destinations: Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Iguazu Falls, Mendoza & Patagonia.
