About Argentina

Looking for a way to get out into the world again but now sure where to go? In this video I’m going to share with you how to find your destination LOVE match for your next vacation.

I’m almost in tears in the Houston airport. I look at the gate at the E Terminal, the words “Buenos Aires” formed by a collection of red dots behind the gate agents. I can’t breathe. “I can’t get on the plane. I don’t want to go to South America.” I hyperventilate.

Salta, Argentina, in the far north of the country is a relaxed, safe, colonial town that felt surprisingly homey. I walked most places and felt welcomed at every shop, restaurant and bar, even though my Spanish was often limited to an embarrassing twenty some-odd words.

    My wife and I are considering a trip to Salta in February. It looks like you had a wonderful time exploring the area. How did you find the food in the more remote areas? you mention food poisoning never a good thing on vacation! Any tips to avoid this situation? We were planning to spend 9 days in Buenos Aires but since finding out about Salta intend to split the time between the two locations.
    Cheers!

    • I loved Salta! The food can be a challenge if you’re a pescetarian (like me) and you’re looking for something that’s not meat, but no one I traveled with seemed to have issues with upset stomachs. There is a lot of meat, but also soups and empanadas. In the cities there is also a lot of Italian influence so pasta is always an option.

      In terms of food poisoning avoidance, the best I can offer is to prepare yourself by taking probiotics which aids in buffering some of those foreign foods your stomach might not be used to. I also travel with a brand “Culturelle” which does not need to be refrigerated. You might also want to look into charcoal tablets which are a good thing to have on hand. I really hope you enjoy your time in Argentina!
