My name is: Lucy

Five words to describe my year away are: Fun, spontaneous, scary, educational, steak.

My top tips for anyone going there are: Be careful when packing...I took loads of clothes that I never wear. Pick a good bank account as my account gets
blocked all of the time. Read the local gossip magazines as you’ll learn lots about the country!!

The cleverest people find accommodation: Craigslist.

Don't leave without: Baked beans, sweet chilli sauce, marmite, tea bags, hobknobs. 

The best night out is: Kika, Club Niceto, Bar Río, Frank’s Bar.

Pacífico.

My favourite lunch place: Oui Oui, El Pani, Mark’s Deli, Croque Madame.

My best place for a hot date: Museo Evita, Million.

On a Sunday: have an asado, go rollerblading in Palermo parks, go to Tigre market.

The most useful website I found was: Oasis collections: it has really helpful blogs, also landingpadba.com. 

If you want to fit in quickly, you should: Make sure you speak Spanish to everyone and don't be shy!
