➡ ABOUT ME
My name is Crosby and I'm a solo traveler, digital nomad, and full-time traveler! After a few corporate jobs throughout college, I quickly realized that the 9-5 lifestyle wasn’t for me. So in 2019, I took the leap into the freelance world and started traveling the world full-time – from solo traveling Mexico to road tripping Portugal to living in a travel trailer, I'm absolutely addicted to this lifestyle. Now, I'm spending the next 3 months exploring Argentina!

    Lo que pasa que Colonia es un lugar histórico y pequeño. Tendrían que haber ido a Montevideo .

    Loved the quick escape vlog ❤🔥
  • The mosquitos' invasion took all as by surprise (today end of march there are still quite a lot around)- From time to time (maybe each 15/20 years) it happens, but not such a huge cloud. They are supose to come from more tropical climate travelling down by Paraná and Uruguay rivers, because of unusual heat, rain and humidity. Climate change, we think, is putting things worse. If you keep on living at Buenos Aires you´ll have the chance to visit Montevideo and the east coast of Uruguay in the future, I hope so, and with no invasors. Keep on travelling and enjoying.

    Despite the mosquitoes, Colonia looks beautiful! I could easily spend a day or two there.

    I experienced a LOT of mosquitos in Guadalajara (especially in Zapopan) 😫 I've never been bit so much in my entire life! I know what a damper that can put on things. On another note, those empanadas looked amazing!
  • @NikkiTomlin
    I am blown away by these mosquitos! Holy shit!
  • @hcarpam1
    I would have pampered myself at the hotel and pool.
  • @cindyk3076
    Wait, what? You didn't plan anything for Uruguay? (Lol) What a cute town, it's a shame you had to deal with the mosquitos, but as always your glass is half full and you find the best in a not-the-best situation. Patagonia, yay!
  • @cmdstraker
    The city itself looks amazing, but my God, these bugs would drive me crazy.

    Cuantos días se quedan en Argentina? Saludos !
  • @alejosanchez3063
    I see you weren’t aware of Colonia being a small town before going there. It’s a historical town and one day is enough. It’s usually visited while travelling to other parts of the country. You should plan better.

    hi guys! this was the first really insanly bad experience about mosquitos in this city, im from BA. But i think maybe the global warming and also the amazonas cuted by Bolsonaro in Brasil changed everything and increase the tropical weather in summer here. Also we have the corriente del niño this time and bring a lot of rain.

    I dont get travelers who say stuff like - this place is only worth staying for a day, there isnt much to do. sounds like heaven to me. this "doing stuff" is way overrated. maybe you will get it in another 25 years. shitty deal about the mosquitoes both here and in Buenos Aires. I know I had one or two trips where mosquitoes were a pain (of course I cant remember which ones they were now), but certainly nothing like this. maybe in northern Ontario in the month of May. I'm also not a fan of the brown sea water in this part of the world, although the sunset sort of fixed that problem.
