"When I recently spent some time in Buenos Aires, I was concerned about being lost and alone in a city where I didn't speak the language at all. The Good Morning BA community gave me tips and information that proved invaluable in having a successful 4 week visit. Don't go anywhere else, this is where you need to be."

Newcomer to Buenos Aires?
There are lots of internet forums for old-timers, newcomers, and those simply considering coming to beautiful Buenos Aires Argentina... but I haven't seen a new one in a couple of years.
There's a new one now: Good Morning Buenos Aires.
Most of the forums that you can find are a little on the cold and clinical side... probably because they were started a few years ago and haven't updated their appearance. But Good Morning Buenos Aires has a warmth and friendliness that even the best of the bunch don't seem to have.
The warmth isn't all just design... it's by design. This nifty little start-up has the advantage of having been created by one of the gentlest souls that ever offered his hand to a traveler/expat down this way.
You can compare (and you should!) all of the available advice-sites / opinion-exchanges available for Buenos Aires. Just be sure to include Good Morning Buenos Aires along your way. Let me know if you don't find it just a little more, I don't know... human.
I've never met the proprietor, although we exchanged a few emails when he was thinking about starting it up (full disclosure: I disagreed with almost everything he described to me!) But I knew him by reputation, like most people....
Give him some support! I'm not talking about financial support... But forums need the support of participants.
If you have good advice to give... chip in. And definitely, if you need some advice about anything REALLY Buenos Aires... from REAL expats... forming a REAL group of good-hearted people for the purpose of nothing more than helping people find out about this beautiful place... http://www.goodmorningba.com is as good a place as you could ever find....

If you don’t know that many people or think that it’s hard to meet professionals with similar interests, I understand you completely. Samuel Warde of Good Morning Buenos Aires has been living here for the past few years, dedicating all of his spare time to networking people. He’s a friend of mine, and one of the coolest, most interesting guys you’ll meet here in BA. (Yeah, he’s a total superstar).

I love Good Morning Buenos Aires. It is the one site in that I can go to that probably has everything. It is like 25 different sites all rolled into one. GMBA, is for all of us who live in BA.

We are both users and advertisers at Good Morning Buenos Aires. Our attraction to GMBA is its informational value, but more often our browsing is inspired by the sometimes cringe worthy and more often poignant views of the resident raconteur, with the cat on his head, much love to you Sam –

Good Morning Buenos Aires ! I live in Buenos Aires and always reference this site for up to date information when looking for events coming to town, news headlines or information on new shops and things happening. It is a great resource because it is easier than trying to sift through the limitless number of newspapers and magazines in this town to find the interesting "tidbits" of information about what is going on in town. Keep up the good work, it is an interesting site!
Ivy Markaity:
Good Morning Buenos Aires is a really informative and fun website for both people residing in Buenos Aires and those visiting. Samual has a finger on the pulse of BsAs. I am honored to be a part of his Buneos Aires community and have benefited from exposure on his site. Ivy Markaity/ Yoga Instructor
