Travelling with Money to Argentina
Topic: Argentina Travel

Values, currency and entering Money into Argentina

 

For a long time now we’ve been talking about big time investments in Argentina and the ins and outs to several projects and approaches.

One important thing to consider in any kind of investment or big trip is money transportation, meaning which is the most efficient and secure way to move around your values.

World around, not only in Argentina, there are restrictions and legislations, and when dealing with large sums it’s important to have the know how to avoid complications.

According to the AFIP in Argentina –the local equivalent IRS- travelers entering our country can bring up to US$ 10,000 in any of the options available –cash, checks, traveler check, etc.-. And this amount is not required to be declared. However according to the General Resolution 1172/01-1176/01 of AFIP, all travelers and crew entering the Argentine territory with more than US$10,000 have to make a sworn statement at the Airport- Port or any other international terminal thru means of the Customs Declaration number OM 2087.

For underage travelers, this does not apply, especially because they cannot travel internationally with such large sums, limiting those between 21 and 16 with only US$ 2000 and those under 16 with US$ 1000.

 

In the case of taking money out of the country, the limit is set also at US$ 10,000. But there’s no exception, nor sworn declaration to take out of the country further more money. In the case of having a larger sum to take out of the country, the only way to make the transaction is thru means of authorized financial entities like banks, casa de cambio, etc.

 

The situation and modus “operand is” is pretty much the same in other countries. In the US customs’ website it is stated:

 

“If you are traveling to the U.S. or a foreign country carrying monetary instruments valued at $10,000 or more, you are required to declare it to CBP on your Customs declaration (CBP 6059B). In addition, you are required to file the FinCEN Form 105 with CBP upon your departure or entry into the U.S.

Failure to report monetary instruments in amounts over $10,000 may be subject to forfeiture and could result to civil or criminal penalties.”

This is crucial information to remember and bear in mind when investing and traveling abroad.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly for further information.

Falling in Love
Topic: Argentina Travel
Beware of Art Galleries and Museums world wide.



We are shaped and fashioned by what we love

Goethe

I tell you, the more I think, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people

Vincent Van Gogh



The ideal places to meet new people according to specialists [1][1] in the UK are Art Galleries, according to a recent study. It’s not only a great outing but a place where you can find some one sharing your interests and passion for art…

It’s hard to find a matching mate, but there are perfect spots to fall in love. Passion for art exudes sensuality, brains and an interesting spirit.

“Museums and Art galleries are places to fall in love” states a new 24 Hour Museum survey for Museums and Galleries Month 2006. British study that revealed that a lot of their frequent comers had fallen in love right in their own galleries. According to this report, Victoria and Albert Museum is considered the most romantic place in London.

People say that numbers don’t lie, so here’s an interesting fact: 20% of the 500 participants of the survey said that they had fallen in love in either British Museum or Art Gallery.

Together with Victoria and Albert Museum, other very romantic museums are National Portrait Gallery, Tate Gallery of St. Ives and the Tower of London Museum.



The encouraging statistics also showed how museums are a source of inspiration, with a remarkable 24% saying they had made a life changing decision whilst on a visit.

The Buenos Aires Art Dealer Gallery, an up coming project …… Building Real Estate Investment for Collectors & Collectibles. Investment with a future………

Buenos Aires with a view

It often comes to my mind that life’s all about taking pleasure in the things you do. I’m an art & antique dealer, a collector in my own way. It comes from my heart, it’s an inner impulse. I enjoy very much a great item, interesting crafting, and the uniqueness in the things I own. I have collected items even before I was a dealer; all sort of interesting things that caught my eye. When I was a child, these actions of mine were referred as hobbies, now; I’m a collector, into collectibles. I don’t mind labels.



Recently I got hold of an article about investing in collectibles. An enlightening article. That pointed to different approaches to this way of investment. Throughout the article the author approached the pros and cons of investing in collectibles, the sales profits, the losses throughout time and the low return of your investment… It’s obvious; an item goes a long way before it’s appreciated as an antique or vintage item. For example, Christie’s –the famous British auction house- has just recently begun to auction 1970s vintage items. So, you can figure out how long you’ll have to wait…



To us, collectors’, waiting isn’t a problem, and our collectibles are not just mere money investments of which we’re expecting a monetary return soon. Most of our returns are passionate feelings awaked by the beauty of the item we’ve acquired; non tangible profits are one of the best possible returns for a collector. The exact moment in which you spot the object of your affection, when you point it out from the crowd and decide it has to be yours, has no price.



Collectibles go all the way from toys to scholar items, from stamps to sculptures, art pieces, vintage trains and antique cars…



Indeed, our collectibles are investments. Of course these items can be bought and sold over and over, and in each transaction we can make some extra money. But investing in collectibles is not just about the money, and anyone who’s a collector knows what I’m talking about.



We, collectors, invest our time and money not just in the purchase of the item in question but also in its conservation and also in its background history.



Investing in collectibles is exiting and interesting. But I don’t think we look at this “investment” in monetary terms, at least not the whole of it. I think collectors are natural investors that consider the economical side as much as the emotional and non tangible ones.



I’m thinking that at this moment in time marching my 2 pet projects together, The Buenos Aires Toy Museum and “artdealer.com.ar” could be developed into a profitable Real Estate holding investment, thought by collectors for fellow collectors.



The idea is simple, it would consist of purchasing a property in one of Buenos Aires most exclusive areas and developing a boutique-museum lodging. A special location for collectors from all over the world who appreciate Argentinean made items –from vintage toys to art-, customized rooms exhibiting one of a kind collectibles, special experts on Argentinean collectibles arranging antique hunts to unknown and valuable markets within Buenos Aires, are just some of this investment’s attractive features. In terms of investments, Argentinean Real Estates is one of the most profitable ventures at the moment offering US Dollar gains and profits not in “pesos”.

one way to see Argentina.
Topic: Argentina Travel
Fly like a bird... one way to see Argentina.

In Argentina there are more than 50 glider planes clubs, but not just any aircraft, these are exactly glider airplanes. These crafts have no motors; therefore, they have to be pulled up to the air through means of the impulse provided by motorized crafts. Once in the air, the rope that joins both of them is released, and the plane flies through the pilot’s ability to grasp the air currents and turns.

According to the what I’ve heard from those who already flew in this outstanding machines, this is the closest feeling to a winged self one would ever experience. There’s no motor noise, nor the immensity of a huge craft separating you from the sky, its clouds and mysteries. This is quite a small craft, with long wings that seem an extension of your arms, for they give you the feel of the air, which allows you to maneuver the plane by following the ascending hot air currents.

These planes not only seem to fly like a bird, they actually follow them through their movements to improve altitude or turns, for they are governed by very similar principles.

To all those birds’ fans who wished at some point or any other they could fly, this is their chance, no doubt about it.

Flights range from 15 to 20 minutes in the air accompanied by an experience pilot covering your back. You sit up in the front of the transparent cabin, as close as possible to the sky’s beauty. Unlike the parapet experience, these flights do not produce that vertigo feel. More over, the silence and natural flow experienced in the craft provides you with a feel of nature and freedom without parallel.

The Couch Surfing Project
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Argentina Travel
The Couch Surfing Project! Join up TODAY! Traveling is one of life’s most amazing experiences. The feel of discovering new and interesting cultures and societies is great. However not only traveling means spending some big money –even if backpacking- but also that getting to know interesting people is not always as easy as it seems before our departure. It takes a while to catch the grasp of a particular culture, and to discover those amazing places that one can share with special individuals like ourselves. And if you have time but no money on your side when traveling, both being a precious commodity, needn’t to say that the money-time relationship is in many ways a restriction to the variety of possibilities that one is able to explore during the visit, the Couch Surfing is for you. In this sense the new project carried on by an American citizen couchsurfing.com is an amazing an alternative option. People around the world who love to travel and are keen on receiving interesting visitors only listing their contact information on the site can take part in this global cultural exchange program! I know for sure this is a great option, that’s why I began to participate actively. I, that have traveled around the world several times and met tons of “lovely people”, have began to take part in this project. Join Up today, sharing your couch is the first step to travel and fun! For more information you can email me or go direct to there web site:Email Bob Frassinetti. Press here to go to The Couch Surfing Project. The Couch Surfing Project.
