Buenos Aires is often referred to as the "Paris of the South." Cafes, green spaces, and artists abound. With year-over-year inflation around 70%, there has, arguably, never been a more affordable time for Americans to visit. Why? Because the U.S. dollar is king. Just remember to pack some Spanish, a pair of good walking shoes, and a carnivore stomach.

👋🏼 About me...
Hey there! I'm Kevin Lewis, a former TV news reporter at ABC7 in Washington, D.C., and WNDU in South Bend, Indiana.
After working in television news for 15+ years, I straight up quit my job in February 2023 to have the freedom and flexibility to explore North, Central, and South America, capturing remarkable stories along the way, and sharing them with you right here on YouTube.
Maybe you want to learn more about what's out there. Maybe you want inspiration on where to travel next. Maybe you just want to unwind after a long day at work or school... Whatever your reason, please know that whenever you watch a 'Kevin Across America' video, you should feel less stressed, more optimistic about the world we live in, and I sincerely hope, more motivated to get out there and explore. After all, there's such a lot of world to see!
Do you have a travel suggestion for one of my upcoming videos? Leave a comment in a recent video or email me.
Happy Trails!
Kevin Across America-
