My Story with Argentina

Argentina has a very special place in my heart!

I spent 7 years (2016 – 2023) living in Buenos Aires. During my time living in Buenos Aires, visited many different places in Argentina (but there is still so much more I would have liked to visit!).

Over the years, I started to get under the skin of Argentinian history and culture.

I did my Master’s Degree in Latin American Politics and started my professional career in Argentina.

I started Becci Abroad to share some of all the insides I picked up about Argentina with the rest of you.
