Living in Argentina as an American

There are Americans passing through Argentina, there are companies, there is an embassy, and every so often there is a yanqui who stays. I am in that last group: I was born in Dallas, Texas, I live in Buenos Aires, and I tell what it feels like when the "gringo" stops being a visitor and starts being a neighbor.

If you arrived looking for an American influencer or YouTuber in Argentina, you may have seen a video of mine. This page is not a media kit. It is an honest account of where I am speaking from, and a map so you do not confuse my experience with that of everyone who came from the U.S.

Where I am speaking from

I am a content creator and cultural researcher. In 2022 I graduated as a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) with a concentration in International Business from Liberty University: a fact about my training, not a title for giving lessons on immigration policy. In October 2026, Infobae published an interview in which I said that I want to live here forever.

What I am not

I am not the voice of "Americans." A programmer in Palermo, a pastor in the interior, an exchange student, and a retiree in Mendoza can be living different countries. I am also not a visa consultant: if your question is how to immigrate by the book, each country's official sources are the right place, not a culture blog.

What I can tell you

I can tell you about the shock and the relief of greetings, punctuality, the sobremesa, tipping, and the way someone comes over when you fall. I can invite you to Cultural Crossroads, the gathering I organized in Buenos Aires, which has its page on Meetup. I can point you to the map if you are coming from Córdoba and headed to Texas, or the other way around.
