| Introduction | For over 20 years I have been an avid and passionate traveler. Immersing myself in the culture, language, gastronomy and excitement of foreign lands has been one of life's pleasures. The most life-altering experience I embarked upon was ignited in 2005 with a 2-week trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Shortly after I arrived back in Ottawa, exotic Buenos Aires continued to beckon. In September 2006 I move back to this "Paris of the South" for a year. I lived like a local, learned Spanish, developed beautiful friendships and enjoyed delicious cuisine. To put it simply, I had the best social life of my life. After 5 years of being back in Ottawa, Canada and continuing to travel the world (Ireland, America, Asia and my home province of Newfoundland), Argentina continues to call me back. So in late 2012 I will be returning to Buenos Aires to share my love of this beautiful part of the world with other like-minded travelers.
