📖 Interesting Reads
These are just some of the interesting articles I found around the web:
Buenos Aires is the #3 city in South America for expats: this article says you can live here for $1800 - does that seem right to you?
Best hikes in Argentina: Argentina is famous for its natural beauty, and hiking is a big part of that. Here are 15 best hikes in Argentina (written by a long term expat).
Like I said - this is just the first version of the newsletter. I plan to greatly expand it in the following weeks and months and include a lot more information.
I just wanted to put this out there to see if you like it.
Until next time,
Ognjen
