Our experiences included:

🗸 Seattle Harbour cruise
🗸 Seattle Aquarium
🗸 Pacific Science Museum
🗸 University of Washington camps walk
🗸 Museum of Illusions
🗸 Pop Culture Museum, and of course the historic...
🗸 Pike Place Market

If a trip to Seattle is in your sights, ask me for a recommendation- I have a few devine food spots to send you to!😊

May's Featured Location:

Buenos Aires, Argentina

​

Explore the vibrant charm of Buenos Aires, Argentina’s spirited capital. Known as the "Paris of South America," this city dazzles with European-style architecture, world-class cuisine, passionate tango, and a rich cultural heritage that invites you to linger a little longer.

Why Buenos Aires??

💃🏽 Tango: The birthplace of tango, Buenos Aires is alive with its rhythms—experience a sultry performance in a traditional milonga or even take a lesson yourself.

🏛️ Architecture & History: From the iconic Obelisco and grand Teatro Colón to the colorful Caminito street in La Boca, the city’s neighborhoods each offer a unique flavor of its storied past.

🥐 Café Culture & Cuisine: Indulge in steak dinners at famed parrillas, sip Malbec from Mendoza, and enjoy pastries at charming corner cafés.

What To See & Do??

Recoleta Cemetery: A hauntingly beautiful resting place for Argentina's elite, including Eva Perón, nestled in the elegant Recoleta neighborhood.

San Telmo: One of the city’s oldest barrios, known for its antiques market and historic ambiance.

Puerto Madero: A modern waterfront area perfect for a scenic stroll or upscale dining.

Where to Stay??

For a luxurious and seamless stay in Buenos Aires, I might recommend Faena Hotel Buenos Aires, a Virtuoso property celebrated for its impeccable views and attentive service, and outstanding location in Puerto Madero. It also features the best tango show in the city!
