I absolutely love Buenos Aires! It's my favorite city along with New York!
Initially, I planned on staying here 2 months and take some Portuguese classes, find volunteer work, and possible work in a hostel or as an English teacher too. Therefore, I found a room in an apartment that seemed decent. The next day I realized I must have had visited the apartment while my mind was on a planet in another galaxy because it was horrible. I suddenly noticed dust everywhere and saw crumbs of food in all the drawers of counters. To top this off, as I went into the kitchen to wash my dishes, I saw cockroaches running on the counter. I approached the landlady about this and her reply was that she spends her life fighting cockroaches and that I shouldn't be phobic. She further chose to mention that they used to have a rat problem. At that moment, I told her I needed to leave immediately. She said she would give me my money back once she finds someone new so until then, I am spending as little time as possible in the apartment and not even stepping in the kitchen.
My mind lacks clarity sometimes! As much as I love BsAs, I want to have time to discover new places and I would learn Portuguese much faster in Brazil (even if it's way more expensive). My goal is to be fluent in 3 months! Hopefully, if I have money left by then, I will spend a month or 2 traveling in Colombia afterwards.
