My love story with Buenos Aires began in 2015, when I visited for the first time. Its ecclectic architectural beauty captured my heart. Then the culture: 189 museums in the city, or Corrientes, a street with more theaters than Broadway! The porteños with their friendliness, their gestures, their wonderful accent. This all made me return time and time again, every single year, until 2021, when my dream of moving here became a reality.
I’m currently working towards my degree to become an “Official Tour Guide for the City of Buenos Aires” sponsored by the Government of Buenos Aires. I decided to do this out of my love for the city and my love of showing folks around and discussing Argentinian identity, history, architecture and just fun BA facts and gossip!
I’m Chilean (raised in the US) so I speak perfect English and Spanish, I’m an EFL teacher, a published author, a coffee connosieur and I’m also really nice! I hope to show you around!
