"Buenos Aires: My Favorite Pl ..." a Buenos Aires Travel Page by vtnyc

I just spent an amazing 18 nights in BA. And from the very start it was amazing to say the least. From the service on an 11 hour Aerolineas flight, to the locals hospitality and love of their country, Buenos Aires was a completely incredible trip.

This picture is the first of many successful and fun VT meets in BA. From left to right: lkdahl, sabrina_florida, Alejandra (a non VT member but good friend of Sabrina), non-vt members from the Netherlands, danayoffe, non VT members from Europe, WigglesMalibu, vtnyc, and carolina27.

One thing is for sure, I came to BA to sightsee, but I did not leave as a "stranger." The portenos and portenas of BA are proud of their country, their city, and they exude that confidence in everything that they do. If I could pick one word to describe the people of BA it would be: HOSPITABLE.

I met some really amazing people here and made some friends that I will remember forever. BA has a special place in my heart and I can't wait to go back.

For me, the coolest part about traveling is allowing yourself to be immersed in another culture: initially submersed in a sea of strangeness but later engulfed in the welcoming warmth of the locals. I'd honestyl have to say that the best part of BA was the new friends I met along the way.
