Hi all,
My wife and I are coming to Cordoba for an exploratory trip on 5-18 to 6-4. We would be very interested in your suggestions as to where to visit.
We are in our mid 50s and have 10 children (most of whom are grown). We (and our two youngest still-at-home boys) intend to move to the Cordoba area by the end of the year. Timing will depend on when we can sell our house which just went on the market). Most of our other kids will follow us once we get established in the area.
Our goal for this visit is...
1. to find a place we can move to temporarily when we permanently move there,
2. meet some expats who can give us the scoop,
3. find a Christian church
Would love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Kevin and Gail

Hi Kevin and Gail,

You say this trip is exploratory yet you plan to move there permanently?
I would suggest you hold off the permanent move part of your plan until you have lived in Argentina for a time.
I lived in BsAs for 2 months and then a couple of years later moved there for 8. Then I made my decision whether to move permanently or not. Did the same thing in Thailand about 15 years ago. Things look different after you have been in a place for awhile.

I second tgibob, in particular when the country in question is "volcanic" Argentine, where policies change every week.
I visited Argentina 6 times 2 months each before I decided to move to Chile. An Argentine girlfriend made me change country after a couple of years :-D

TGIBOB is absolutely correct about living in Argentina before packing up lock, stock and barrel and moving there..
My wife and I lived in San Rafael and Mendoza for 5 years, we own vineyards in San Rafael.
During that time we lost count of the enthusiastic American couples who arrived and stayed for six to twelve months only to see it fade. Soon they packed up and returned to the US because the country did not turn out to be as they had envisioned it. If the wife liked Argentina the husband did not conversely if the husband liked Argentina the wife did not.
Many of these couple had ample money and did not have to seek employment.
Bottom line, come visit for a month or two to explore the many Provinces, then if you are still in love a few months later, rent for a year. Then and only then make the permanent move.

I do agree with the last posts. Actually I am Argentinian and I lived as expat in Bolivia, the UK and now in the US. Sadly my country has changed a lot in the last 10 years, its unstable economy and the problems you will encounter to send currency abroad could be some of the challenges, but also it is becoming less safe. Cordoba is a wonderful province, one of my favorites and people there are very nice, they have a funny accent when they talk which I love. The landscapes are breathtaking and some cities are small and quiet. Since my country is very different from the US I also suggest you to explore and try to understand the people and their habits before moving. DO you have any help to arrive there, any relocation company? Do not surprise about prices going up everyday, and non-logical laws and rules, also taxes are very high and the difference is that there you want see them reflected in the services you will receive... I love my country and my people but I have to be honest and I can see it very clear now, that I have been away for almost 10 years. Enjoy your trip and don't hesitate to ask if I can be of any help
