Thinking of relocating to Argentina, but not sure where to start? You’ve got plenty of friends at your immediate disposal when you hook up with the Expat Connection.

From www.expat-connection.com:

Expat Connection is a group providing a range of social events that bring Expats and Argentines together in a relaxed environment. The group was formed by American Martin Frankel, a recent expat himself, with the dual purpose of catering for the vibrant and growing Expat community, and providing a bridge between foreigners and Argentines.

Forget the traditional tourist path: Expat Connection provides you with a host of activities both social and educational – such as happy hours, dinner parties, day trips and on the more serious side our very successful “Buying Real Estate in Argentina” seminars – that will show you a slice of the city you never knew existed while meeting fascinating people with which to enjoy it!

With local Argentine members as integral to our events as foreigners, and a guaranteed majority of open-minded, varied and fascinating people, Expat Connection is well-equipped for all your mingling, networking, chatting, flirting – in short, socializing – needs!

They really do attempt to help with everything. For example, this Saturday there will be a tea and chocolate tasting to satisfy your sweet tooth and need for some mid-afternoon cultured fun, but tonight they have arranged a Medical Insurance presentation with some of Argentina’s best insurance companies. The details are as follows:

Monday, July 13th from 6:30 pm to 7:30 om at the Areatres, Malabia 1720 11B in Fuentes de Malabia behind Starbucks. There will be a couple of short presentations, and major savings on insurance being offered. It is just the kind of thing an expat needs to know. To RSVP for the event include your contact number in an email to rsvp@expat-connection.com.

(And in case you are interested in the Tea and Chocolate Tasting it’s Saturday July 18^th from 4:30–6:30 pm at Choc & Caf on Cabello 3401. The cost is AR $60.
