Things I DON'T Like About Living In Argentina

     Life in Argentina is incredible! And I certainly love it here, but for fun, or to vent a bit, or maybe both, here's some of the things that I don't like about living here...

No bulk spices other than salt: I'm not joking, I've since learned some places where you can sort of find it, but the normal grocery stores will only sell spices in small plastic bags, they remind me of weed bags when it was illegal. I am in disbelief that a society with such a strong connection to Italy, doesn't sell bulk garlic. The investor in me has thought about breaking ground and showing that garlic can be sold in more than 1 ounce bags and good for the whole year... We shall see...

Think I'm kidding? This is the spice section, 100% salt!

Mercado libre no bulk shipping: Mercado Libre is like the amazon of Argentina, it is super useful, you save a ton of money, review products, consumer reviews, etc. A lot of great commonalities with Amazon, the bad however, you are generally buying from different vendors, so there is no bulk shipping. I learned hard the first day, my apartment was empty besides a water heater, so I ordered all the things I could from Mercado Libre. The next day my phone notified me around 9am the delivery was close... A guy showed up with a set of spoons and forks... Nothing else... 72 hours later and 40 deliveries... Yeah not fun waiting around all day in the apartment, but again, it's a good service otherwise.

Design of certain things: This is where I came up with one of my Argentina phrases, "Cuando aceptas la derrota, la vida se vuelve más fácil." When you accept defeat life becomes easier. I gave up on trying to understand somethings here, and why they are built this way... As a tourist you may never notice, but living here it is impossible not to notice! Certain hand tools, a lot of construction elements, a coffee side table with rails above the table, door locks with a slat over them for no reason, parking garages that are built too low that only motorcycles can enter... etc.

This is a table at a coffee shop, unless you are a child you can not put your legs under it, if you are a child the height is too high

A bar, that you really cant sit at.

The laundry machine delivery to the elevator story: True story of living in the third world. I bought a washing machine,  the delivery guy shows up with the washing machine, without a dolly. Ok... He and another guy bring it to the front gate of my apartment. "Good amigo?" Hell no! I live on the 3rd floor and we are literally on the street. They wanted to pretty much just leave it at the gate. But then there's also the refrigerator... 

The Refrigerator story: I wasn't allowed to buy a refrigerator at a major chain store because I didn't have a DNI, I have both my Italian and US passport, and I was paying for the fridge in one credit card payment, no financing!

Immigration: It's slow, it's painful, with technology 90% of my trips to immigration which are now monthly should have been done online, but it's the system here. My usual trip takes about 2.5 hours. I arrive 30-45 minutes before they open, if I'm lucky I'm in the top 20 on line, we all wait and when my turn comes it always takes less than 5 minutes for whatever I came for. I also speak Spanish, if you don't... Good luck on this part!

9 trips for the certificado domicilio: Going with the above for immigration, for my certificate of where I live, rather than just uploading documents, I had to go to one place for a document to sign, go from there to another office to pay 1000 pesos, like $1 at the time, back to the first office, back to immigration, and this whole process with a few closures and do over's took 9 trips...

No large bills 10,000 pesos $7: Technically there is a 20,000 peso note, but it's a bit like the $2 bill in the USA, it's rarely seen. If you want to carry a lot of cash, this is a pain, the pockets bulge, thief's may know, and generally it's just a pain in the ass to pay for things. I literally wrote an entire other article on How I Pay For Things in Argentina.

Book stores No Order: Not every bookstore, but when I want a book now I just generally will go to Mercado Libre, because if I go to the book store in person, they have sections, but beyond that it's a free for all. They are not alphabetized by title, author, etc. 

The Surprising Lack Of Beach: I started to type this one out and realized it can be a whole other article here, but for the short version, Argentina has more coastline than almost all of the 195 countries in the world, I think it falls in the top 10, but a lot of the coast line is too muddy, too cold, or just too damn far to get to. Luckily I'm working on exploring more, but it's odd to be living so close to the ocean for the first time in 20 years after living in Phoenix and not really being able to enjoy it so easily.

"I found one!"

Store hours: I'm happy for the culture that a lot of things are closed Sundays for faith or family, the essentials are open if you want groceries, and plenty of restaurants, but it's generally not a day for other things. I like that. What I don't like is the hardware store that is opened Monday 9am-11am then 5pm-10pm. The Sushi restaurant that is only open Thursday and Sunday night. The gym that closes midday, the best hour to train!!! Some of the hours are just too damn weird. 

The DNI: I wrote an entire article on this one too here, but short version, it has damn hard to do anything without a national ID card, I understand it for things with safety, mortgages, etc. But one business refused to sell me a refrigerator that I was paying for in one credit card payment with two passports to verify who I am. Same thing happened with tickets for Teatro Lola.

You can't have a beer at a bar: This one applies to way more countries than people realize until they are living there, but "bars" just aren't the same, you go to the physical bar which generally is just decorative, if it has seats the overhang is barely existent so it's somewhat difficult on the knees to actually drink at the bar. It's always more like ordering dinner, you get a menu, you pay after, its a long process for just a beer. Lets say you actually find one with the right overhang, and you find one that you can just order a beer without any further fanfare, the culture just doesn't exist too much to shoot up a conversation with someone, make a new friend, even meeting a date is rare in most places. Bars are places with a bar that have tables that people order drinks to and drink at their table.

Credit Card fees: I love paying with credit card, paying it off before the bill comes, and flying for free in business class from the points! But my points game here has drastically changed, not all, but many places charge credit card fees, it's usually 10%! Which is wild to me because to my knowledge the credit card companies themselves only charge 1-3%.

The Cash Society: "Como abonas?" Going with the above, merchants love cash, for everything. I hate having to always carry cash. But it's La Vida here.

Not Being Able To Flush Toilet Paper: Thank God I live in a modern building, so this doesn't apply to the home court, but if business needs to be done on a visitor court, in a building that is not modern... Let's hope the trash bin is there, and there's plenty of toilet paper... That's I'll say.

    Anyway, as I wrote from the start, I love this country. But these are a few things that get to me. Some of them I knew coming in, some have been a complete surprise. I can't wait to see what else I will love about living here... The don't likes hopefully won't add I'm up, but I'm sure this article will have a few add on edits as well!

Why I Decided NOT To Live In Italy

      Before I retired from a career in firefighting in the USA I had plans to move abroad. After traveling to many countries across all 7 continents, I narrowed it down to Italy, Colombia, or Argentina where I live now. I traveled to all 3 countries and did trial periods of living in them, 1 month or more living as an expat and more or less avoiding tourism. I think everyone knows Italy is a beautiful country. On top of all the things it's famous for, I personally speak Italian, I have an Italian passport, and I've traveled to all 20 regions of Italy. It would certainly have been the easiest choice for me. No issues with immigration, banking, apartment leases, healthcare, etc. Some of which has definitely been a problem here in Argentina, but nevertheless I decided not to make Italy my first stop, at least not yet. So why did I decide not to live in Italy at this point in my life? Let's get into it.

• Taxes... Like taxes. I really should write TAXES. This one of the hardest lessons learned in my trial visits to all 3 countries. But definitely Italy. I am not a CPA and don't want to get too deep here, but basically my taxes would go up over 20% or so from what I already owe to the USA every year. The cost savings of national healthcare or lower cost of living could be virtually wiped out by the tax overhead. Like I said, I don't want to go too deep here for the legal purposes, but I had tax meetings set up with 2 or 3 accountants on both ends of the liabilities, USA and Italy. Unless I moved to one of the smaller towns, the tax rates made the Italian dream postponed.
  
  
  
  
• South America while I'm still young. I'm not too young either, but I wanted to live in South America before it's too late. I'm living here now in Argentina, and I certainly love it, but this is not the type of place I think I can stay in as I get older. Healthcare, infrastructure, safety, logistics... Things that are not remotely on your mind in your 20s or 30s. I'm in my mid 40s now... I figured this was my last run to try South America before I'm too old for it.
  
  
• My planned trips for the next 4 years are not Europe heavy. I try to rewrite every 2-4 years a 4 year travel list. The idea of living abroad for me was not just living in the country, but access to it's neighbors. I wanted to extensively travel Argentina, which I think I've been off to a good start. I also booked Antarctica last minute, a whole other article probably should be written on the benefit of doing that from Argentina, anyway, also trips to Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay in the works, and God willing I want to go to Venezuela one day. 
  
  
• I don't want to recycle the whole Why I Chose Argentina here, but for this moment of my life Italy lacks things I want in my 40s. The gym culture, protein based meals, the live music scene, the social circles I have there vs my friends here. My vacations may be more interesting in Italy but daily life here in South America is more my speed.
  
  
• I couldn't choose the exact city yet. This is kind of a stupid reason, I really lean towards Napoli, but since I've been everywhere in Italy that lean wasn't strong enough to make the jump. I have been going to Italy almost every year since 2016... I think I will continue to go and let the city I may one day live in pick me rather than the latter.
  
  
  
  
• Cost of living. Italy is the most expensive of the 3 options. That being said it's still much cheaper than where I was living in Scottsdale, AZ. But I retired young, and I am hoping to more or less stay retired unless it's a fun job, so starting my retirement in the most expensive country didn't seem like a wise decision.
  
  
• Taxes. It needs to be mentioned twice.

   I love Italy, I'm heading back there in May of 2027. I don't see any reason why I won't be going annually anytime soon. I really do hope I live there one day as well. I don't know if it would be forever but certainly for an extended period of life. Now, I'm loving life in Argentina, and obviously Spanish is my home language, but every day I read novels in Italian, I do practice phone calls with other Italians, or language exchanges, if you don't use it you lose it! I love the Italian aspects and immigration in Argentina, but of course I am not in Italy. The country will always be important to me, and will always have a place in my heart, and maybe when the day comes I will live there. But that day is not now... And.... Taxes.....

Ti amo, mia Italia, ma non sono pronto a vivere qui. Non ancora.

Life in Argentina My First 6 Months As an Expat

Gracias por toda la ayuda amor!

     April 18th, 2026 was a day that will forever change my life. It was the day I moved to Argentina. I left the United States behind—for a few months, or maybe a few years. I wasn't sure then how long and I’m still not sure. But it was something I had wanted to do for a long time. You could say that ever since I started writing this blog, I’ve wanted to live overseas. I love America, I have visited all 50 states, and loved every one of them in a way, but I also had this dream to live abroad... After visiting approximately 77 countries across all seven continents, I decided to make Argentina my first home abroad.

     You watch 1,000 YouTube videos, read 1,000 blogs like this one, talk to people on forums, friends that maybe did it, but nothing will fully prepare you until you are there. I compare it to the gym. It's great to watch YouTube videos or read a book about workouts, diet, etc. But until you go to the gym, you really haven't started. The videos helped, the reading helped, my girlfriend here helped a ton, but until I got here, I hadn't entered the gym yet.

      The first two months, flew by quick. I am retired so I thought time would be on my side. Things took a lot longer than I would have liked. Finding an apartment, furnishing it, immigration, and balancing life in the USA. USA is still my financial center of interest, that's probably a whole other article, but since it is, every business day I am doing a little work with accounts there, or on my Airbnb there. The first two months a lot of time was dedicated to finding the right gym, opening a bank account, and learning the neighborhood. I'm happy now to have it down pretty good in month 6. I know some of the locals and laugh a bit when I can show my girlfriend who grew up here a store or cafe she didn't know about. But it definitely took a lot more time than I thought it would. Like many expats my money goes a lot further here than the USA so some of that time flying was being too picky with apartments. I was looking for something fitting of Bruce Wayne but it turns out in a middle class 3rd world country, there aren't too many Wayne Manors in the area. But of course now I am happy with my place. At one point between Airbnb checkout and check in, I was technically homeless. This is where I lightened my load of luggage, left stuff at my girl's place and got to business. All that being said, the apartment hunt was way more complicated than I ever thought it would be.

    So was the bank account. I didn’t have an Argentine bank account at the time. Credit cards are widely accepted, which is great—but there’s often a 10% surcharge, and I didn’t want to deal with that forever either. Withdrawing cash can also be a hassle. Argentina has very high ATM fees. I do get reimbursed through Schwab, but that’s not something I want to rely on. And of course, you still need cash for things like tips and small everyday expenses. I have been a customer of Chase Bank for over 20 years. I have been a customer of Galicia bank here for 4 months. I probably spent more time in the Galicia branch here opening an account in the four months, than I spent in Chase in the 20 years. Every thing finance has been a learning curve. But now that I got it down, I'm comfortable... Relatively.

Bariloche

     I went back to the USA right when I got my apartment in month 3, I had some work on my rental to do there. So I left for 3 weeks. I told my girlfriend it was as if we go to the movies, we order popcorn, a soda, we take our seats, the coming attractions finish, and as the main movie comes on I say, "Ok, I gotta go!" My life was ready to begin, but work called. But after those three weeks I came back, and have been here since.

                    

     These two photos above describe better than I ever could "life abroad". I'll probably say it often in my blog, but my favorite short way to explain it, "Some days you are living the dream, and some days you are at Home Depot or Costco." I love waking up in a different country, speaking a different language every day, immersing myself in a new world from everything I knew! But some days, you are also at Home Depot or Costco, the toilet has something wrong with it, you need to buy gas for the grill, buy chicken, veggies, etc. You go to the gym and workout, you read on your balcony, you play guitar in your jam area... Sometimes life is the same, and always will be. That's in part why it's so important to be happy with your daily routine more than anything else. I don't go to Mendoza wine tastings every weekend, I don't visit Palacio Barolo daily, or snow mobile in Bariloche, I still haven't been to Iguazu falls, it's the day to day life that makes or breaks you.

Trelew

    It became pretty clear after my 3rd or 4th trip to immigration a lot of influencer type people who say they are living in a country, probably only came for the duration of a tourist visa stay, that's not to say they lied, especially if they don't have a home base anywhere else, but to actually live long term was a big curve that I think now after month 6 I finally adjusted to. I spoke fluent Spanish before I got here but I got used to the accents finally after 6 months. I grew up taking every train in NYC but had a curve to get used to La Roca and the Subte train here. I drove police and fire trucks lights and sirens to "life and death emergencies" but I'm still getting used to driving here to a corner store, which at times also seems like a "life or death emergency!" But overall I feel like my feet are wet. 

A bit of daily life

Wine tour, not daily life

     I started waking up when I wanted to, and without an alarm for the first time in my life, 7-8ish (except those damn days at immigration!). I sleep with my phone in an entirely different room. I enjoy my morning coffee at home but sometimes the second coffee down on the corner where the barista makes jokes about the streets we live on. I buy my produce from the vegetable store, my wines from 2 or 3 different places, my chicken always from my friend on the other corner. My gym friends know me as the American guy. I have dinner with my girlfriend and her family 2-4 times a month. It took me a solid 3 months to get used to her brother's accent and fully understand what he was saying, but now I got it down. Hopefully he's not reading this now! Anyway, life has become good. The Malbec flows, eating steak here is cheaper than eating a burger in the USA, we go to the city center once or twice a month for fun or my girlfriends business. We have been traveling a lot in the country. This is one of the biggest things I want to take advantage of while I'm here. Southern Hemisphere travel.

                  

   The places that would have been super far before this are now weekend trips, we just got back from Mendoza. Before that we visited Puerto Madryn to swim with sea lions and see the Southern whales up close and personal. Before that in August we stayed at Llao Llao in Bariloche, one of the most famous resorts in the country. We enjoyed snow in August, hiking, snowmobiles, and sleighs. We are set to go back to Brazil for a concert in March, I want to visit Easter Island in Chile, return to Uruguay for more than a day trip, and of course I am super excited to be going back to Antarctica next month! All of these places were a world away, now most are a 2 hour flight. And living down here with a flexible schedule makes those travel costs even easier. 



      All in all, it's been an incredible 6 months. It has been way more complicated than I thought it would be, but alas, if it was easy, everyone would do it, and it just wouldn't be as good. You think every day is going to be a new adventure, and in a way it is... But sometimes that adventure is just Costco or opening a bank account. But hey, it's still been fun in a way. I'm looking forward to more adventures down here and seeing where life in South America brings me. I grew up in a basement in Brooklyn, in a house with 10 people, and never thought I'd travel further than Florida, hell at some points maybe even New Jersey, and now I've traveled to all 7 continents and I am retired living in Argentina... Life is good.

Why I Chose Argentina To Be Home

Palacio Barolo Argentina

    77 Countries.... I have now visited 77 countries. I think... Everyone always asks, what is your favorite country you visited? And I think I've talked about it here. I say, picking your favorite country is like comparing your favorite pizza, to your favorite football team. Each country has it's own unique flavor, the purpose of that trip, what that trip meant to you the year you did it vs what it means to you now 10 years later. And one man's trash is another man's treasure, things I loved about some countries could be something others hated about it, and vice versa. But that being said, I always loved my trips to South America, countless visits now, to every country here except Venezuela (hopefully one day!). I also loved Italy, which I've visited now at least 7x, and have visited every region. After all the trips combined when it was time to go Nomadic and leave the USA behind for a few months, or perhaps years... I decided on Argentina because for me, it is the crossroads of South America and Europe, specifically Italy. 

     A large portion of Italians immigrated here, so you have the Italian influence along with the flavors, architecture, and many other things I love about Italy. But it's not Italy. You also have a lot of the things I love about South America, food, language, cost of living, but it's also not quite like everywhere in South America. For me it was the perfect blend and crossroads between Italy and South America. But it wasn't that simple. I had a lot of vacation leave to burn at work before I retired from my career in the fire department. I decided to take advantage of this and do a few trial visits/trial living. I must have deep down known South America would win because I called them Juicos instead of trials... Which is grammatically incorrect (pruebas), but whatever, for the blog we shall say the trial visits.

     That's the short summary, writing this article I thought would be more the novel format than the checklist format, but as I reviewed why I moved here, I think it serves better to show the process rather than romanticize it. I retired in July of this year and had narrowed down stop one of the retirement life to Colombia, Italy, or Argentina. For each trial visit trip I journaled the trip itself, random thoughts, diaryish, but more logical. Then I factored heavy logic elements... I'll go over these now...

Immigration: I wanted to live in another country but I also wanted to be free to travel around easily leaving or re-entering the country. Italy wins by a landslide here. With my Italian passport I have never waited on lines or even talked to a customs official entering the country. Colombia the wait was insanely long. Argentina, it's been average getting in. Getting out is pretty instant.

Language: I speak the languages of all 3 countries so this wasn't such a big deal, it is worth noting that for me personally I don't want to live long term anywhere that I can't speak the language, too many hurdles that I don't want to rely on google translate for.

Cost of Living:all 3 would be way cheaper than what I was paying in Scottsdale, AZ. Colombia was the most affordable, Italy was the most expensive, Argentina was the middle ground.

Coffee at home: This one Argentina is definitely the worst. Coffee is a big part of my life, so far my experience with coffee at home, while not terrible, certainly doesn't compete with Italy, or Colombia. Colombia won here.

Coffee at a cafe: This one is a bit more complicated. Italy has the best cafes, but the culture of sitting down to work on your laptop/blog isn't as dominant. The coffee in a cafe in Argentina tastes better than home. Colombia overall was probably the best for the lounging around aspect along with delicious coffee.

Protein: This is one that if you are just visiting you may never even notice. I always try to workout and be in the best shape possible... You know besides those cheat days.... And after extensive travel in Italy it became more and more noticeable a lot of the meals revolved more around a carb than a protein, I admit I don't like seafood, so I kind of screwed myself there with Italy. But that being said, Argentina dominated this category. Now that I am living here I've discovered even more. We have stores that only sell chicken. We have stores that sell only beef. We have a store in my neighborhood that sells only eggs. If that's not enough, there's literally a guy that rides a bike around my neighborhood sometimes that sells his farm fresh eggs from his bicycle. You hear the music from the balcony, it reminds me of the days of the 1980s Ice Cream Trucks in Brooklyn, but it's protein instead of sugar!

Super Markets: Here's another one you don't care about when only visiting a place.For the overall super market like what I was used to in the USA, Argentina may be the best for the big box supermarkets, food quality overall Italy dominates. Colombia has Carullo's which is one of the best supermarkets I visited in my life, but they are not abundant there. I made it my mission to visit as many as possible and walk the aisles in the day of my diets. Living here now the only thing I lack are certain cheeses. And needless to say the smaller butcher shops, bread bakery's, or cold cut places have better products than the big box stores.

Gym and Gym Culture: Minus John Reed Fitness in Trieste, Italy, one of the best gyms I train at in my life, Italy lacks big in gym culture. The gyms are smaller, they are clean, but too clean! You have to change your shoes when you come in, so you can't jog to the gym on a nice day unless you bring other sneakers. The dumbbells don't tend to go to heavy, and people in general just aren't training the same. Colombia had a solid gym culture, but Argentina took the crown here. One of the gyms I trained at in Recoletta even had posters of Gold's Gym Venice, and LA Fitness, two of my former gyms I trained in. It was a sign.

    

Walkability: Italy and Argentina were great here. Colombia not so much, besides safety issues, there's too many times you need to cross the street and it's going to be an adventure just to cross.

Safety: This one is easy, Italy safest, Colombia least safe. Argentina scored in the middle.

Beaches:Here's another one Italy dominates. I thought however that Argentina with all that ocean front would have some great beach towns... I was disappointed, but it's in the works to find more!

Puerto Madryn, the first good beach town I found.
Italy I don't know if I ever saw a bad one!

Airport Proximity: Argentina wins big here, bonus we have two airports, and I've used both in the 6 months I've been here.

My former employment

Public Transport: Colombia loses big here, Italy wins big. Everything from Lime Scooters to nice intercity trains. Argentina luckily has a pretty decent system with buses, trains, and subway.

Not public transport!

Taxis: all 3 were great with Uber, so no issues there.

Taxes: The other "tax" word.... Italy's taxes are a complete nightmare. I do hope to one day live in Italy, but for now, this was one of the biggest things that pushed it to the "just not yet" category.

Guitar/music:I wanted to continue playing wherever I lived, Argentina won big here as there is an entire large city block dedicated to the sale of instruements. The choice has continued to do well here as I've seen bands both large and small down here since I've moved. I like the music scene, not as good as the states, but definitely enjoying it. And of course I was able to set up my little studio area to play and sing at my leisure. 

Upcale Dining: here really all 3 options have great upscale, but of course Italy overall.

Average Dining: Italy got eliminated here due to the protein as mentioned earlier

Fast food: Argentina! The empanadas!!! Though honorable mention to Arancini in Italy.

Also love the diverse climates here

Dive Bars:I love a good dive bar once in a while! Outside of USA and a few other countries the dive bar culture doesn't really exist. That being said, all 3 had something, it was a tie.

                                              

Wine: Speaking of alcohol, Argentina won before the trial began, but this was biased because Malbec has always been my favorite wine.

Immigration logistics: Italy took the cake here because I have an Italian passport. I ended up finally getting my Rentista Visa this month in Argentina, but it was a ride!

I didn't mention dating, but my girlfriend is Argentinian,
so you can figure out who won there!

So Argentina won for my first destination, I'm happy to be here now for a few months, maybe a few years, maybe forever. But of course Italy or Colombia will always be there. Argentina isn't the BEST country, but it's the best for me and what I am looking for at this time:

• training and protein
• having a good gym
• walking around your neighborhood
• inexpensive everyday life
• eating out regularly
• coffee
• music/guitar
• having your own space
• easy airport access
• being able to travel
• avoiding excessive taxation
• not needing everything to be perfectly polished
• and having enough disposable income to actually enjoy yourself

   I was so glad to have the opportunity to do the trial runs, they changed my views on all 3 countries. I've already written more specifically about Why I Chose Not To Live In Colombia, and I'm working on the same article for Italy. This week is marks my first 6 months in Argentina, and I'm of course thrilled to be here, living this life, and of course writing this blog when I can. Hope you enjoyed this article. Below I will post a blank version of my personal check list to cut and paste if that helps anyone out there.
