Hey! This email comes from the Palermo neighborhood, in Buenos Aires, Argentina - one of my favorite neighborhoods and cities in the world for long stays. Cobblestone streets lined with 50+ year old trees, corner cafes with sidewalk seating perfect for an afternoon of wine, and live music and Argentine BBQ spots tucked on every block, and more fun bars than you could visit in a month. For about $1600 per month, I've been living my best life. If you have the time and are in South America, add...
