Great country to lock in & live cheap while still being safe !

~ As of late 2025, Paraguay remains one of the premier geo-arbitrage plays globally, particularly for those earning in USD or EUR. The cost of living is roughly 65% lower than in the United States, with a single person able to live comfortably on $800–$1,200 per month. Rent is the most significant saving; a modern one-bedroom apartment in a prime area of Asunción typically costs between $350 and $500, while groceries and dining are remarkably inexpensive. You can find a high-quality three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant for about $25, and basic staples like world-class local beef, bread, and produce are consistently among the cheapest in South America.

The reason for these rock-bottom prices is a combination of massive domestic production and a unique tax structure. Paraguay is a “food powerhouse,” producing enough agricultural surplus to feed nearly nine times its population, which keeps local grocery prices insulated from global supply chain shocks. Additionally, the country boasts some of the lowest electricity rates in the world due to its immense hydroelectric dams (Itaipú and Yacyretá). For the digital nomad, the real “arbitrage” lies in the territorial tax system: Paraguay generally does not tax foreign-sourced income. When you combine 0% tax on your remote salary with a 10% flat VAT and low overhead, your purchasing power effectively triples compared to most Western cities. ~

~ The Mall of America (MOA) opened on August 11, 1992, in Bloomington, Minnesota, built on the former site of the Metropolitan Stadium (where the Vikings and Twins once played). Developed by the Triple Five Group, the project was a massive gamble intended to replicate the success of their first mega-mall, the West Edmonton Mall in Canada. Upon its debut, it immediately became the largest mall in the United States, a title it still holds today in terms of total floor area (roughly 5.6 million square feet). It was so large that it was granted its own zip code and quickly became one of the most visited tourist destinations in the world, often outdrawing Disney World in annual foot traffic.

What truly set MOA apart from its American predecessors was its “retail-tainment” model, famously becoming the first U.S. mall to feature a full-scale indoor theme park at its center. Originally known as Knott’s Camp Snoopy (and now Nickelodeon Universe), the seven-acre park was built with high glass ceilings to allow for real trees and natural light, creating an outdoor feel in the middle of a Minnesota winter. This paved the way for other massive additions, including a 1.3-million-gallon aquarium and a flight simulator, proving that a mall could function as a complete vacation destination rather than just a place to shop. ~

Would you raise a kid in Buenos Aires ? 🇦🇷

~ Raising a family in Buenos Aires offers a mix that is increasingly rare worldwide. On the pro side, the city is deeply family-oriented. Children are welcome everywhere, from cafés to late dinners, and daily life is built around social connection rather than isolation. Public healthcare and education are widely accessible, including free public universities, which removes pressures that dominate family planning in much of the world. Buenos Aires also provides cultural density that few cities can match: parks in every neighborhood, strong arts and sports culture, walkability, and a slower rhythm that allows parents to actually be present. Compared to many global cities, children grow up with more independence, less rigid scheduling, and stronger extended family style social bonds, even outside biological family.

The trade-offs are real and should not be romanticized. Economic instability creates uncertainty, especially for families earning locally, and inflation requires constant adaptation. Safety varies significantly by neighborhood, demanding more situational awareness than in top-tier European or East Asian cities. Infrastructure, while functional, can feel inconsistent compared to countries with highly predictable public systems. International mobility and long-term financial planning may also require more strategy than in wealthier, more stable economies. Compared globally, Buenos Aires offers richness of life, culture, and human connection at the expense of predictability and ease. For families who value time, community, and lived experience over material certainty, it can be an exceptional place to raise children. ~

Not too shabby….

~ Hotel Fasano Rio is a piece of Brazilian design history sitting directly on Ipanema. Opened in 2007 by the Fasano family, it was conceived as a modern homage to mid-century Rio, when the city was the cultural capital of Brazil and Bossa Nova was being born just a few blocks away. Designed by Philippe Starck, the building blends clean modern lines with subtle Brazilian references, from the wood tones to the restrained elegance that mirrors old Rio sophistication rather than flashy resort luxury.

The Fasano name itself carries weight. Long before the hotel, the family defined high society dining in Brazil through Fasano restaurants in São Paulo and Rio, serving politicians, artists, and global elites for decades. Staying here is not about excess. It is about lineage, discretion, and taste. Fasano is where Rio’s creative and business class stays when they want to be close to the energy of the city without being consumed by it. ~

Not too shabby…

~ Meat and wine are not luxuries in Argentina. They are pillars of daily life and identity. Beef is treated with respect because it represents abundance, tradition, and craftsmanship passed down through generations. From neighborhood parrillas to family grills, the focus is not excess but quality, patience, and sharing. Wine, especially Malbec, plays a similar role. It is not reserved for special occasions. It is part of conversation, long lunches, and slow dinners. Food and vino are how Argentines connect, debate, laugh, and stay present. They anchor social life and turn ordinary moments into something meaningful.

The clearest expression of this culture is the Sunday asado. Sunday is not for errands or rushing. It is for gathering. The fire is lit slowly, meat cooks for hours, and time stretches. Families and friends arrive without urgency, conversations unfold naturally, and phones disappear. The asado is less about eating and more about belonging. It reinforces values that define Argentina: patience, community, and respect for tradition. In a world obsessed with speed and productivity, the Sunday asado is a quiet declaration that life is meant to be shared, unhurried, and lived together.~

It’s hard to beat…

~ Well known travel and literary reasons Americans love Argentina
1. “Argentina feels European without the arrogance.”
A recurring theme in American travel writing since the 1950s. Buenos Aires is often described as Parisian in form but Latin in warmth. Referenced by writers like Paul Theroux and Jan Morris.
2. Buenos Aires as a “thinking city.”
American authors describe it as a city of books, cafés, debate, and reflection rather than spectacle. Popularized through Borges essays translated and studied in the US.
3. A culture built around conversation, not consumption.
Travel books contrast Argentina with leisure-driven destinations. Long dinners, cafés, and sobremesa are often cited as distinctly Argentine in expat memoirs.
4. A city designed for walking and observation.
Writers praise Buenos Aires as a city best experienced on foot. Unlike many capitals, it rewards slow wandering. Noted in Lonely Planet, Fodor’s, and early Frommer’s guides.
5. Argentina as culturally serious.
Long respected for literature, psychoanalysis, music, and political debate. Buenos Aires is often cited for its high number of bookstores and psychologists per capita.
6. A country that invites permanence, not tourism.
American writers contrast Argentina with places built to entertain foreigners. It expects you to live like locals or not at all.
7. Dignity despite instability.
Writers note how culture, education, and social norms persist through economic cycles. This resilience appears often in political and cultural analysis.
8. Buenos Aires as a city you grow into.
A recurring idea is that Argentina does not impress instantly but rewards time. Found in memoirs, Fulbright essays, and long-stay travel writing. ~
