Do not come to Argentina for the beer. Quilmes is what's usually on tap - basically the Bud light of the South. However, when in Patagonia, take advantage of the handcrafted artisan breweries! I tried this amazing sampler at Blest in Bariloche after a 30 km bike ride!

I am living in Buenos Aires so the first thing that came to mind when reading the name of this group was "Recoleta" - as seen below in wanderingcityfan's picture. Among other famous Argentines, Evita Peron is burried here. There is another cemetary, Chacarita, in Buenos Aires that I need to check out. Famous icons such as Carlos Gardel, a tango singer, rest there. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture at this time, but the Old Jewish Cemetary in Prague is also amazing - the tombs are layered on top of each other!

I traveled for work for the past 2 years around the U.S. and got very used to making the best out of my own company. It is a little more difficult when traveling alone abroad which I've done a couple of times in London, Spain and Italy. But with the wonders of hostels these days, it is an excellent opportunity to meet some pretty amazing and interesting people!
