🎤 Expat Interview
Welcome to our expat spotlight section.
This is where we interview both new and long-term expats in Buenos Aires and ask them to share their tips and recommendations.
Here’s the today’s interview:
What’s your name, country of origin, and how long have you been in Buenos Aires?
Linda Matthijs, The Netherlands, been living in Argentina for 7 years.
What brought you to Buenos Aires, and how was the initial adjustment process?
I came to Argentina because I wanted a change and got myself a job here. The adjustment went alright although there were so many things I had to get used to! I enjoyed this process a lot though
What's been the most challenging aspect of living in Buenos Aires?
that is a tough question… I would say the bureaucracy here can be very tedious and if you do not know how things work here they also become very frustrating.
And what has been the most rewarding aspect of living here?
The weather, the openness of the people,.. it is such a lovely city to live in.
What's your favorite local restaurant, bar, or cafe, and why?
I don’t have one favorite, there are so many good places! But Ya Cabron is great for tacos, and I’m craving some right now!
What hidden gem in Buenos Aires deserves more recognition?
Everything outside the fancy and popular neighborhoods. There are so many great spots to find here!
What advice would you give to new expats in Buenos Aires?
Enjoy yourself! There is so much to do - if you get an invite for something: GO!
Thanks Linda for agreeing to this interview!
