I'm Rosie Carter, a British writer based in Palermo. I moved to Buenos Aires in April 2019 with my husband and our two children, then three and five. We thought we would stay for a year. We are still here.
The site started with the long answers I kept writing for a small WhatsApp group of British parents: which paediatrician speaks English, how school admissions work, where an apostille belongs, and how to pay an arrival rent when the landlord wants dollars and a UK bank blocks the transfer.
I write from lived experience about the week after arrival and the years after that. For immigration, tax, pension and legal questions, the articles point to current official sources and qualified professional help rather than pretending a personal account is legal advice.
Education
Where you'll find me
My favourite corners of Buenos Aires
The Barrancas de Belgrano on a Sunday morning with mate and facturas. Cuervo Café on Thames when I need to write. The British Hospital cafeteria when I'm between appointments and spot half the Northlands parents. The ferry to Colonia when I need to feel like I've left without actually leaving. These aren't recommendations from a guidebook — they're the places I go because they feel like home.
How this site works
Every article links back to the editor who stands behind it
Coverage on this site is written from a single editorial desk in Buenos Aires rather than a rotating pool of freelancers. If an article is published here, I either wrote it, edited it, or take responsibility for the facts.
