Argentina opened to the world on November 1, and the trickle of foreigners into the country increases daily.
Recently, walking in the streets I heard French and Russian spoken. Slowly the city returns.
Have danced in many places, having fun as the people and the dancing evolves. Am posting fotos from El Beso, Sueno Portenyo, La Viruta, Nuevo Chique, New Gricel.
Lots of live music too from local orchestras and quartets. Such as Los Herederos del Compás with Pablo Ramon, Marco Bellini y El Quarteto del Plato, Orchestra Romántica, La Juan D’arienzo.

I chose tango as my dance because I love the lifestyle, embrace, and, yes, dressing up.
In my tango series, I share images shot worldwide, in the places where I have danced: Spain, France, Germany Turkey,Canada,Italy Greece, and the USA, but mostly in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
With my written stories, I try to share some of the experiences that have stayed with me... An amazing embrace, a beautiful meal, a slightly uncomfortable life moment at a stay a train station or airport. These are the moments we remember.
As to my personal info, I was born in New Jersey eventually, after living in New York, Boston, and San Francisco, most recently on San Juan Island in Washington state, I moved to Buenos Aires in January 2020.
For 38 years, years I curated a contemporary art gallery, where I refined my skills and became a visual editor.
Always with a camera or some picture-capturing device in tow [including much heavy equipment], I started my travel at approximately the same time, was introduced to tango about 12 years ago.
VIsual storytelling begins with a moment. Some internal mechanism is triggered by a scene or event or movement and ...there's your photo.
Other times, it’s about a sliver of color or something else odd or ordinary that captures the eye.
As I am now fluent in Spanish, it is my desire that my stories and photos reach the broader tango community and other travelers.
Travelingtango offers translations into Spanish, Italian, and German.
Abrazo!!!
