I feel pretty safe, except in Buenos Aires. Someone tried to robber me twice, just because my ex partner was Argentinian, and literally he saved me. The cost outside Buenos Aires are very accessible, you can find local food very cheap. But Argentina has magic in some restaurants that can be expensive. In La Boca, the most popular area in Buenos Aires, you can get a 2 people meal for $120 USD 🫠 (kind of expensive). But I tried the best pizzas ever.

It's quite dangerous from my perspective, but it's definitely a beautiful place. I recommend keeping your phone and wallet inside your clothes or in your bra so when they take your backpack, they don't steal anything important. The people there are very kind and polite, 10/10. My budget at the time was much lower and it was enough for several things. Now that the currency has gone down, I can't explain how much I spent and how expensive it was. I stayed at a relative's house; it wasn't as comfortable, but it was what I had. Getting around is fairly easy on the buses and trains; just ask for good directions; it's a big city!

I was in Sierra for about five days. It was my first solo trip. I really enjoyed it. There are many things to do, and there are several small towns nearby: Sierra de la Ventana, Villa Ventana, and Torquinst. I recommend trekking to Cerro Ventana; it's beautiful.

When I visited Jujuy, I had been traveling Argentina for some time and people kept telling me I needed to visit. I stayed at Los Tarcos Guesthouse. At the time, it was managed by a very friendly woman who made me feel safe and comfortable and provided excellent recommendations for things to do. Since I was alone, I opted for guided tours and the host of Los Tarcos gave me great recommendations of affordable and reputable tour companies to use. I mostly walked around and felt safe doing so, but obviously, always be vigilant.

Extremely safe, it's a small city with less than 40 thousand people. I've never heard of women being raped or assaulted, or even pickpocketing. I live next to the mountain, the only danger is getting lost if you go deep in the mountains
