La Boca – The Colorful Neighborhood

February 18, 2015
7 Fabulous things to do in Buenos Aires

La Boca the colorful neighborhood that you want to see, when being in Buenos Aires. Take pictures of the famous colorful houses and then leave the neighborhood before dark. The area is beautiful with all the colorful buildings and the funny designs.

 

To be honest there are not so much more to see. It has some people dancing tango but nothing amazing and then maybe you can buy some postcards. That you should not send in Argentina, because then your family will never see the postcard again.

 

In the Colorful Neighborhood of Buenos Aires: you only need to walk the streets to have the pleasure of this attraction, which means it´s free. Convenient for the student and the budget traveler.

 

That is La Boca, nothing interesting except from the colorful houses. Take the pictures and go to some other cool locations around Buenos Aires.

 

 

Make sure you leave la Boca before dark, this is still a hard neighborhood and the chances of being robbed is just to high when it get´s dark. 

From Plaza Italia buses: 152, 39, 64  – How much time do you need: Maybe 2-3 hours.

    A Norwegian Travel Voice & Trying to Impact the World by Nudging People to Choose More Sustainable Travel.

    I’m shaped by nature. I grew up at the edge of th I’m shaped by nature.

I grew up at the edge of the Stadt peninsula — where the ocean doesn’t negotiate and the wind decides your plans. You learn early to read the sky. To sense the shift before the squall rolls in. To move before the door is pushed open.

The weather isn’t small talk at the coast.
It’s strategy.
It’s timing.
It’s survival.

And the women knew it best.

While the men were at sea, coastal women held everything together — land, livestock, homes, children, community. They didn’t call it resilience. They simply lived it.

They understood something very important that we need to remember well. 

You don’t dominate nature.
You collaborate with it.

Today I live in the Lofoten Islands, again surrounded by strong coastal women. Different generation. Same backbone.

To adapt when conditions shift.
To build with the landscape, not against it.
To know when to move — and when to stand firm.

To me, that is a coastal inheritance. 

The coast teaches you self-efficacy. Patience. Awareness. Respect.

It shapes women who know that sustainability isn’t about control — it’s about relationship.

And that’s the spirit I carry into my work, my travels, and the future I’m building.

Thank you @dino.serrao for capturing my coastal spirit in this portrait.
    2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times wi 2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times with family and friends! It went so fast! Many highlights this year! And many great hikes even in Lofoten and Sunnmøre! 

2025, I have used less time on my phone more flight mode, more with just being. It will continue onward for 2026. I’m still traveling and doing many mini adventures. Mostly being with loved ones. 

In April we were in Cuba, which always disconnect but reconnect you much better with what matters and the importance of being grateful and appreciating what you have in Life. When we travel, how can we travel well, how do we show up at a destination. 

My last international travel this year was Lanzarote, famous for its landscape and architecture. Best of all traveling with my sister. We used public buses, eat at different local places and guided tour to the national park. What an island! 

I think one word that has been important this year for me is mindful. Be aware, be curious, ask open questions, reflect more before speaking and listen. 

Being in nature is the best gift for human nature. We must visit more often. We must focus on our sleep quality. 

I think 2025 have been a year of flowing and protecting my energy on what sparks joy to me. The most limited resource we have is time. How can we live the most happy with the time we have. How can we use our time and energy well. 

2025 I’m very grateful for the year it was a blessing filled with love laughters, friendship and some important life reflections and some new changes. 

2026, welcome let’s embrace and see where the wind takes us this year! 

Wishing you all the very best new year filled with abundance, hope and peace. May the year be as good as you want it to be! Or even better as magical as you want ✨🤩
    October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The start of the month was breathtaking in Lofoten. We welcomed German travel experts for a MEGAFAM trip in the Lofoten Islands and had a blast connecting with new faces and industry colleagues. Truly amazing!!🤩 #lofoten #lofotenislands #megafam #lofoteninfo #visitnorway
    Greece is always a good plan! This time we went is Greece is always a good plan! This time we went island jumping to Skiathos and Skopelos. You know the Mamma Mia Islands 🌞 Also Athens, but next post. I think Skopelos has the clearest water I have seen in Europe. So stunning so pure, wow! So green the Island. Could have been away longer as always, but now living slow cabin life before hitting back North. #islandescape #greece #visitgreece #skiathos #skopelos #islandsofadventure
