Living in Buenos Aires, Argentina as a digital nomad
As the popularity of the digital nomad lifestyle continues to grow, more and more individuals are seeking out new destinations that offer an ideal environment for remote work. One such destination that should be at the top of every digital nomad’s list is Buenos Aires, Argentina. With its vibrant culture, stunning architecture, and a vibrant startup scene, Buenos Aires is quickly becoming a hotspot for those seeking a balanced work and play lifestyle.
Buenos Aires, often called the “Paris of South America,” offers an incredible quality of life that is hard to beat. The city is known for its rich history and unique neighborhoods, which encompass a mix of European and Latin American influences. From the quaint cobblestone streets of San Telmo to the trendy cafes of Palermo Soho, every corner of Buenos Aires has its charm and character.
For digital nomads, one of the most important aspects of a destination is reliable and accessible internet. In Buenos Aires, you will find fast and stable internet connections in nearly every corner of the city. Many coffee shops, co-working spaces, and even parks offer free Wi-Fi, making it easy to find a spot to work from. Plus, the cost of living is relatively low compared to other major cities, allowing you to stretch your budget further.
Speaking of budget, Buenos Aires is incredibly affordable, especially when compared to other cosmopolitan cities. Accommodation options range from budget-friendly hostels to trendy apartments in popular neighborhoods. Food, transportation, and entertainment are also reasonably priced, making it easy to enjoy all that the city has to offer without breaking the bank.
The city’s vibrant culture and social scene are another major draw for digital nomads. Buenos Aires is a melting pot of cultures, and you will find a diverse community of expats and locals alike. The city embraces the arts, with numerous theaters, art galleries, and museums to explore. Tango music and dance are an integral part of the city’s identity, and you can find milongas (tango dance halls) dotted throughout the city.
When it comes to work opportunities, Buenos Aires has a thriving startup scene. The city has attracted a number of tech companies, entrepreneurs, and freelancers who have made it their home. This has led to the emergence of co-working spaces, networking events, and entrepreneurial communities that offer plenty of opportunities to connect and collaborate with like-minded individuals.
Of course, it’s not all work and no play in Buenos Aires. The city has a lively nightlife, with countless bars and nightclubs where you can dance the night away. The local cuisine is also a highlight, with mouthwatering steaks, empanadas, and dulce de leche being just a few of the must-try dishes. And when you need a break from the city, the surrounding areas offer a variety of outdoor activities, including day trips to the picturesque Tigre Delta or venturing out to the stunning countryside of the Patagonia region.
Living in Buenos Aires as a digital nomad offers the perfect balance of work and play. The city’s vibrant culture, affordable cost of living, and thriving startup scene make it an attractive option for those seeking a temporary base for their remote work endeavors. Whether you’re looking to immerse yourself in tango, soak up the rich history and architecture, or simply enjoy a laid-back lifestyle, Buenos Aires has it all.

You look very well dressed, despite living off two little backpacks, haha! Well done Sergio! Love your vlogs and your lifestyle
I lived in BA for six months and I loved it, Villa Crespo was my home away from home. I recommend checking out La Maquinita Cowork!
My girlfriend is Porteña, and we met in Toronto. I had the pleasure of visiting BA during Christmas and instantly fell in love with the city. Now we’re planning on moving there at the end of the year. This video captures everything so beautifully and true to life! I’m an instant fan of your work!
that's so comprehensive, thank you!
I've been watching a lot of videos on Buenos Aires lately and I really enjoyed this one!
Amazing video!! Top-notch quality!
Hi, great video! For the Pizza at Los Campeones, do you order the FAINA separately or is it part of every pizza?
what a great video… I will be in BA in 3 weeks for just a couple of days. I am 71 and have been watching a couple of videos to get an idea of where I'll be and your is by far my favorite. I should have learned Spanish instead of Italian.. Thanks for your intro to BA
Great video thank you!!!
INMENSA ,BELLÍSIMA, GRANDIOSA BUENOS AIRES. COMO TODA LA ARGENTINA. ESE PAIS ES UN PARAÍSO A LOS OJOS.
I'm about to do my first digital nomad stent (Jan – March 2023). This video is exactly what I needed – thank you sir!
I am planning a trip to Buenos Aires in about one month, but I don't speak Spanish nor have any friends. Do you recommend staying at Hostel just to make some friends?
What's the best way to make friends and get more friendly information? Thank you.
Wow. Me encanto tu video. La edición, las imágenes, la música, el relato. Otra mirada de Buenos Aires. Muchas gracias por las recomendaciones del país
Exellent
I want to go there but I heard it's unsafe for women..
Great video Sergio. So many unique things to do that would of taken lots of research or good contacts to know about and experience. Can't wait to go there.
It's one of the best videos on BA out there. Love what the nomad conferences and meetups are doing. Emma Dublin
Thanks Sergio for an amazing video on BA. Did you find BA safe with the political agenda the way it is ? We d love to go there for a few months;) Emma
Are flights back to the US cheaper if you buy in CABA?
LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos !
You go many places we have on our list of possible retirement cities. We hope to visit many of them over the next few years, but we do wish there was some cost of living info. Our list starts with-
San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico
Antigua, Xela, and Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
Matagalpa, Nicaragua
Manizales, Colombia
Cuenca, Ecuador
Arequipa, Peru
Patagonia somewhere and Buenas Aires, Argentina
Looking for cool weather, friendly locals, decent affordable healthcare, retirement visa, lots to do and see. Thoughts ?
Where would you pick for your parents if they had $2000/month ? You spent about $1700 but I would guess if you lived there long term you would get a lower rent price at least. Thx !
Que bueno! Todos amigos fiesteros y amantes del buen vino!
Argentina es diversidad y buenos aires,es apenas un pequeño lugar, hay que visitar para conocer algo de Argentina, Córdoba, Mendoza,salta, jujuy,misiones,Bariloche,usuhaia,y todavía falta muchísimo más de Argentina
Great video
Buenos Aires is always a good time
Very nice. And thanks for showing us what looks like a wonderful city.
Si veo bien en el cuadro de los gastos, buceaste en el tigre?? No encuentro esa parte en el vídeo, pero me encantaría tener más información! Gracias 🙂
