Sweeping yourself to Buenos Aires


Un turco tomando mate.😄 by @bastophostel

I quit my job and all my life over there 5-6 month ago. For a while i hung out in my lovely Spain, then i was living in a chateau from 16. century in beautiful French region, Dordogne… In exchange of my help building a swimming pool, all my expenses were covered, and even more… Then, because I was so close to the city, I had to see Amsterdam before i die, homeland of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, a Dutch genius of art, master of light and shadow. As an experienced hostel guest, i wanted to work in a hostel for a while, i found a volunteering job in a small Slovakian city, Nitra. After being in contact with this different culture i went to Krakow to work in another hostel and get to know this amazing city full of amazing beers. Now, i had an international experience in hostel business. My limited budged was draining out, in that moment i made a big decision; first, i bought a one way flight ticket to Madrid, then to an Argentinian city, Cordoba where i found another volunteering job. One night in Cordoba, after a robbery in a bar, owner offered me to work as a security for a few days so i made my first money in this continent. In that moment i had no money to go back from Argentina. After spending 5 weeks in this first stop of this continent, Cordoba now I’m in Buenos Aires, city of theatres, art and nice people.

I want to go to a concert in Teatro Colón one day, i love just walking in San Telmo streets, or finding a new interesting person in some Palermo bar. Beerlife is a pretty nice bar to have some drinks and Pizzería Güerrin is one of the best options in city to have some amazing Argentinian pizza. Tango, but not only tango, all kind of dances and performance art is everywhere, i love this part of the city. I love listening stories about Evita who is pretty impressive figure for me.

Now, I’m here in this amazing city, I have no intention to go back to Istanbul. I start this journey to regain some of my talents after working in a office for two years, which made me very stupid every day and made me lose all my survival abilities. Now i have to survive while i have no comfort in my life. Instead of being stuck in an office i find working in hostel, or sweeping around way more healthy. I have plans like cooking and selling my food to other people, which is, possibly would be healthiest way of earning money. I also signed up for University of Buenos Aires to study Arts.
