I am excited to travel for a fist time to South America! YES! Welcome to Argentina! I met with Mariel who walked me to the streets of Buenos Aires, told me about the food and their national drink. Learn about the areas in the country, where to go, and what to do.
About Mariel:
Hola che! I'm a passionate traveler and after spending 4 years visiting different countries and cultures about the world as a digital nomad, I'd say
I'm an Argentine but also a citizen of the world. I love discovering new cultures in very authentic ways, always trying to see through
local people's eyes. You can find more about my adventures together with my husband in @elgranviaje.
Apart from learning about other people's cultures, I love teaching about my own. Argentine culture is quite interesting as it actually brings together many cultures.
I really love to teach Spanish, especially the Argentine dialect, and I've been doing it for some years, that's why I decided to start my own podcast and academy. You can find out more about it on:
