Buenos Aires: That's A Wrap
Embedded Travel Guides: We are searching the world for folks who can take you on a field trip of their "backyard." When we find these folks, we then stealthy embed them into their local travel scene and ask them to be our eyes and ears out in the field.
We are expecting the same sort of grainy video, choppy sentences, and snapshot photos that you are use to seeing from embeds. The rub is, at the end of the day we should be left with a backyard travel guidebook like no other.
Our first embed is Matt Chesterton of Buenos Aires. You might remember this x-Time Out Travel star from HotelChatter's hit series The Thinkers' Guide to Staying in Buenos Aires
I'm finished. In every sense of the word. Hungover, bilious and exhausted; one pair of overpriced sneakers worn out, one liver on the way. It's been great fun. If you've been reading, thank you. If you haven't, you've missed an opportunity to augment your knowledge of, and sympathy for, the human race, so get thyself to the archives, which, if I carry on like this, will surely outlive me.

I'd like to sum up everything that I love about Buenos Aires in one simple, pithy epigram, but it's got me beat. Perhaps just this. When I first came here, as a tourist, I felt like a part of me had always lived here, or at least had always wanted to live here. And now that I've lived here for many years, there's still part of me that feels like a tourist: I'm still peering round street corners and seeing something new, still learning.
I told you I couldn't do it.
But maybe these guys can. Below are some links to my favorite BA blogs and websites. Since I've stolen most of my ideas from these people, it's only fair to cut them in on the credit-slash-blame.
Hasta luego. Suerte. Any questions, fire away.
