    Where to start?

    Ok, this is the hard part. Where should I start? Let us do this : Why chose this particular blog? Blame it on Jay Shetty. OK, I am a Jay Shetty Fan. He has inspired me so much that he changed my life. He is a former monk (what the heck?), but if you think…

    The Feel Good Way!

    If one hasn’t written one blog post in about 2 years, you just know it is time to come up with something new. Over the years my ‘Why on earth did I move to Argentina‘ (that title says it all) evolved to ‘Global Citizen‘ (a blog for tourists, expats and locals), but now I have…

    What’s another Year

    Who remembers me being a Pariah in Argentina? Who remembers that? It is a year ago. One year. One year ago we were stuck in Argentina, one year ago our flight was canceled 9 times, and one year ago we were repatriated through an Air France flight, long after the airport of EZE was closed.…

  • The art of keeping busy

    What happens when all of a sudden you can no longer do what you are used to, what you are expected to, what you have to? Especially when this ‘all of a sudden’ really didn’t give you time to adapt or prepare! That’s exactly how it went in Argentina. Now you were in one place…

  • Welcome to a New World

    This is totally and utterly surreal. When we left our country less than 1 month ago on this photographic trip to Buenos Aires, the world was still how we knew it, the world I grew up in. There had been many changes over the years, but all those changes came slowly and we chose to…

  • Life as a pariah in Argentina. (Part 10)

    Let’s end this series with a number 10. We have a flight, so we should be relieved. We are! Even though we won’t fully believe it until we’re actually in the plane. We are more than experienced with flight cancelations. We wake up 2 hours after the usual 5am (time Air France Belgium opens and…

  • Life as a pariah in Argentina (part 8)

    We leave the airport and look for a taxi. There are none. The airport is closed. We go the other terminal where there is a ‘cascos blancos’ team (whatever that is) who shout as the see us, that my husband and I need keep a distance between us of 1,5 meter. I jokingly tell them…

  • Life as a pariah in Argentina (part 7)

    Its grey and gloomy when we drive out of the city towards the airport. The roads are as good as empty, here and there a lost metro-bus, some cars. It seems particularly eerie if you know the situation. The country is in lock down, people are stuck in their houses, this in trying to contain…

  • Life as a pariah in Argentina (part 6)

    We are on our way to Capital. You can only drive if you have a special permission. Like us, we have a flight confirmation, and a ‘laissez passer’ letter from the Belgian embassy. We have also received a link of the law saying we can go, in case they don’t believe us. I feel like…

  • Life as a pariah in Argentina (part 5)

    Slowly but surely this whole adventure is turning into a complete nightmare. Or rather, a complete joke. Just recapitulate. I’m sure you already lost me a long time ago. 1. We had an Air France flight leaving on the 31st from BA. It was canceled after Argentina refused planes from countries affected by the virus.…
