In this episode, I sit down with my friend Jesi to talk about what it really means to start over in Merlo, San Luis — a small mountain town in the heart of Argentina, about 12 hours from Buenos Aires. Jesi shares why she decided to leave her fast-paced life in the big city of Rosario, while I reflect on what it meant to bring my seven-year nomadic journey to an end and choose one place to call home. Together, we explore fear, change, and the courage it takes to build a new chapter. Along the way, you’ll also learn a few surprising things about Rosario and discover a simple but powerful fluency hack to help you speak Argentine Spanish more naturally.
