Life in Buenos Aires: learning Spanish, navigating local systems, and building HabitaAR.

posts talks projects

Living in Buenos Aires has meant learning Spanish and figuring out residency, housing, healthcare, and banking firsthand. My Spanish guide collects what has helped, from podcasts and private tutors to courses at the University of Buenos Aires.

Those frustrations led my wife, Sofía, and me to cofound HabitaAR in 2026. We’re helping newcomers set up life here, and I lead product and engineering. My Ethereum Localism Buenos Aires post explores another way to contribute locally: a proposed community chapter and funding round for local organizations.
