I've been moving around South America for a few months and with Christmas coming find myself in Buenos Aires. I'd been travelling with my girlfriend but things didn't quite work out as planned and so we decided to called it quits on that front ad go our separate ways. For a change there was no animosity in the split and we've happily hung out as mates and will continue to do so until she flies back to Oz next week.
My dilemma is what to do with myself now and to make the best of this situation. So firstly my limitations...I'm here on a 90 day tourist visa and can extend this for another 90 if I want, but that's too far off to think about right now. I'm not supposed to work and given my qualified field is finance it'll be hard to find something steady that would pay in that area.
What do I want to achieve? I would like to leave the city with as much or not much less money than I have right now because it won't stretch many more months. In a couple months the high season will tail off and ill be able to get down to Patagonia without forking out a small fortune. I'd also like to be close to fluent in Spanish before I leave.
Now I know there are a ton of people on this forum who have landed in London and found their way. Having followed the academic route I've never really found myself in this situation without a viable skill to sell so I'd really like some advice or suggestions for things I could do or try.
