Because I had to limit my favorite things about Buenos Aires to five, I decided to be vague so I can be all-inclusive. I could write an entire piece on how I am not sure that I will be able to live without dulce-de-leche when I decide to leave this country, or how there is something exciting and romantic about having dinner at 10:30 at night; but, in this moment, brevity is key. Or the desserts. Or the desserts. Or did I mention the desserts? So, here a few of my favorite things:

I often tell people that having a college level degree in the United States only shows your ability to navigate a bureaucratic system, amass large amounts of debt, and walk away with little else. I am definitely often incorrect in that (purposefully critical) comment; but, clearly you can see what side of the political aisle I stand on at this moment in time. I believe that education is a human right, nay - a necessity, and we shouldn’t be forced into difficult systems that cause us suffering long into our lives.

When traveling, safety seems to be the most often Googled concern. Perhaps it was our mothers constantly telling us “Be careful!” as we headed out the door. Concern for safety is common when making the choice where to live abroad. Especially when you delve into the superlative lists of “the safest” and “most dangerous” cities to live in around the world. Not to mention the first thing your parents will ask you is, “But, is it safe?!”

For many of us teaching abroad, we have quickly learned that not all countries have their bureaucratic acts together, particularly in terms of encouraging language teachers to stop, stay for awhile, and impart their native speaking wisdom upon their residents. With this lack of visa ease, you are often stuck in the grey area of residency and legal work. Personally, I much prefer to live in the realm of black and white, paying my taxes, and retaining reliable healthcare for an extended period of time. However, my adventurous spirit and natural curiosity often leads me to less developed and organized parts of the world.
