Escape from Buenos Aires
Apr 28, 2008 by Melanie Van Orden
Last week, we returned “home” to Buenos Aires from a three week trip to LA and Hawaii. We noticed a slight twinge of smoke in the air, but proceeded to think nothing of it. A few days later, we awoke to find the city full of smoke. Apparently, protesting farmers flouted the law here in Argentina and set almost 300 fields north of the city ablaze.
We shut up our entire apartment in an attempt to keep some of the air in our home breathable. I was recovering from a cough that was now aggravated by the smoky air. Jason was experiencing headaches from the smoke and smell. We were miserable. We decided we had to get out of the city until this whole thing blew over.

Why We Moved to Buenos Aires | What to Consider When Moving Abroad
Apr 26, 2008 by Jason Van Orden
I’ve had a number of people express interest as to why we chose to move abroad and specifically to Buenos Aires. So I wanted to post our reasons for moving.
Ever since Melanie and I got married we’ve wanted to live abroad. Other things (such as employment, our previous rock band or school) have determined where we’ve lived until now.
