Argentina no doubt has its problems, but don't let this inform your entire impression of the country. I lived in Buenos Aires in 2013 and routinely felt safer walking around the streets at night than I have in large US metros like Chicago and Philadelphia. (Granted, part of this was due to the fact that I speak Spanish and could pass as a local until people heard my accent.)<p>In my opinion, Argentina is one of the most underrated travel destinations in the world. Diverse landscapes, from Patagonia and glaciers in the south to the desert near Salta in the north. Buenos Aires is a world-class city with great culture, art, restaurants, cafes, bars, etc.<p>Plus side for visitors from the States or Europe - the weak currency & inflation there, while terrible for locals, makes the cost of living very cheap. You can enjoy an amazing steakhouse meal with bottles of wine for ~$20-25 per person, get a great Airbnb in the best part of town for $40/night, etc.<p>If I ever were to transition to fully remote work I'd live in BA ~2-3 months out of the year in a heartbeat.
