Buenos Aires at Night



A bright blue sky strikes the city of Buenos Aires, is full summer and the average 70 F temperatures warms up the beautiful metropolis. Its 19th century white buildings lighten up with the shine of a clear sky; the parks filled with blossoming trees are prettier than ever, the South American Paris is glooming. Those who are not off on holidays, enjoy the charm of the riverside cosmopolitan town. Many visitors from around the globe walk around the city center discovering BA mysteries and beauties. The only thing setting aside the tourists from the locals is the comfy ware, for this is a melting pot society in which every one fits in, as long as he or she is sophisticated, trendy and knows how to enjoy life.

Those unique local cultural features together with a truly favorable and growing economy have become a huge magnet for people around the globe looking for a better life, higher living standards and the peace of mind of being on a permanent vacation feel.

This last February weekend, the New York Magazine guide published an article written by Ian Mount entitled “A moveable Fiesta”. It’s a wonderful and interesting piece on American expat’s who chose Buenos Aires as their new loving home. But what catch my attention the most was a smaller subtitle, one could read on the upper left margin “Change your life”.

The author was talking to all those young businessmen who work long hours, live in well located but small apartments, they are truly successful in many fields but this does not reflect on their living standards. This concept really catches my eye, so I kept on reading.

I’m familiar with the fact that Buenos Aires has become a fantastically appealing location for people from around the globe who seek better living standards and to take out the most out of their hard earned money. I’ve even wrote several pieces on this, advising people from all over about the great options the Buenos Aires real estate market was offering –even before this was broadly published in all sorts of international magazines- I saw the line, and thought that nothing would be best than sharing the tip.

The fact that awesome properties in the best neighborhoods of Buenos Aires can be afforded for ¿ the money you would be paying in New York, San Francisco, California, Paris, Rome or London is something to keep an eye on. And though Buenos Aires is not the only city around the world in this situation, it is one of the very few –I might risk, the only one- that while in Latin America and a developing country, has very similar cultural patterns to western developed capitals. The food, the aesthetic, the culture, the society is so cosmopolitan that everyone from anywhere fits perfectly.

But it’s not just about fitting, its about getting what you want out of life. And that was clearly stated by Mount in his New York Guide piece. A former senior vice-president of bond sales with the Belgian banking conglomerate KBC, changes his one room apartment in NYC for a wonderful floor with terrace and swimming pool in the heart of BA. He also mentions the luck of a young Doctor and a gorgeous young woman, just to name some of those young and life thirsting people choosing to take control of their lives, present and future.

We all thought that relocating around the globe was something retired old people did. Well, they actually do, but there’s no need to spend a life of mediocre appreciation of life to enjoy it during your last days. A couple of savings, a true appreciation of what’s good and makes you happy and a lot of courage take you really far, specially in this world in which breathtaking gorgeous places such as Buenos Aires offer such a broad range of options to delight and enjoy yourself.
