When this site was created August, last year, my intent was to inform tango people worldwide about what was going on in Buenos Aires, currently my home city.
Now a year and a half later, the corvid virus continues it’s mutations affecting our lives. My hope is we as people and our governments are getting a bit better at adapting to the virus without the drastic means of the past year and we will not have to endure any more strict lockdowns.
Dancing at Sueño Portenyo
As a photographer, I will post more fotos and videos of dancing here…I want you to feel as if you are living here.
And continuing writing about the city’s milongas and the current state of corvid on our tango community, I will attempt publishing stories and news semi monthy.
Enjoy the life and till we embrace again stay happy.
Abrazo y besos

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!!!
