A while back, I stopped posting political content on social media, and I’ve been way happier since then. A buddy of mine had a talk with me about how often I was getting political on social media. I hadn’t even realize it, but he was right. I was posting political content all of the time.

Travel Tidbits: Country #44: Argentina
September 2024: Buenos Aires Everyone calls it BA The whole city reminds me of Barcelona with huge vias and avenues They carved up enough of the city for giant parks that it feels really nice The hop-on, hop-off bus was a really nice way to see a bunch of the city over a roughly two-hour
Travel Tidbits: Country #43: Uruguay
September 2024: Montevideo Very calm and safe It’s a great taste of Latino America without much danger, at all. Still has the feel of Peru, Bolivia, Columbia and Mexico.

Yellow Cab, Uber, and RoboTaxis
