So as well all know that the Spanish American Wars of Independence would oversee the independence of several nations during it. Though my question is, what excatly started it? I know that the invasion of Napoleon, the exile and abdication of the Spanish monarchy, and the Enlightenment were all the main reasonings for the desire for independence. However I'm mostly wondering who were the first to rebel against the Spanish?

Hola mi amigos. To all my friends from Latin America I have some questions. I am a young man from Australia looking to travel and live in several countries across central and South America for a year or so.

I have come to read articles and understand “digital nomads” and really just immigrants from USA, Europe, Australia etc are causing gentrification and rising living costs for the locals. How true is this and what do you have to say about that? I can fully understand why born and raised latinos would feel anger about gringos coming into there country and raising prices for them. I really want to explore and travel South America respectfully and immerse my self in all the amazing cultures but I don’t want to be a part of a rising problem which is gentrification in South America.

Should I just stay home or how can I live and travel through South America for a year without causing problems.

Thankyou my friends.

i’m an american, but i live near the mexican boarder and have always known ‘Mija’ as a term of endearment towards girls, i’ve even been called Mija myself. is it culturally insensitive or am i overthinking it?

Hello everyone, probably this question allrdeady being asked but i would still like to repeat it.

I'm currently based in Europe and planning to relocate to Argentina in the near future. Given the time zone differences that will come with this move, I'm interested in finding remote work opportunities with US-based companies. I've already started sending out my resume to American companies, but I'm facing some challenges. I've noticed that recruiters either don't respond or sometimes end the conversation when I mention that I'll be working remotely from latin america(outside the US).

I'd appreciate any advice on:

How feasible is it currently to get hired by a US company while working from Argentina? What form of employment possible in my situation? 1099/foreign worker? Any tips for approaching this situation with recruiters? Should I mention my location plans upfront or wait until later in the process?

If anyone has experience working remotely for US companies from Argentina or South America in general, I'd love to hear about your experience and any suggestions you might have.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Buen día,

Estoy trabajando en mi tesis de maestría y tengo una encuesta que analiza la percepción de la relación de seguridad entre la República Dominicana y los Estados Unidos. Solo toma 5 minutos para completarla. Se trata de analizar cómo las personas ven la relación. Las preguntas no son demasiado técnicas, está abierto a cualquier persona que esté interesada. Si también pudiera compartirla dentro de sus propio círculos, significaría mucho para mí. Con más datos, puedo hacer un mejor trabajo con mi estudio.

Gracias.

Good day,

I am working on my MA thesis and I have a survey looking at the Perception of the security relationship between the Dominican Republic and the US. kindly take 5 min to complete it. This is looking at how people see the relationship. The questions arent super technicsl, so this is open to anyone who would be interested in it. If you could also share it around within your own circle, it would mean a lot too me. The more data i have, the better job Im able to do with my study.

Please and Thank you

Hey everyone, I need recommendations for places like Isla Holbox but where I can take private Salsa class for a cheap price. Also, locals must speak Spanish only.

Thank you.

As a Brazilian, I’ve seen how much learning Portuguese can open doors for connecting with the culture. Have you tried learning Portuguese before? What’s been the most exciting or challenging part for you?

I put together a beginner-friendly guide to help people take the first step. It focuses on the phrases and situations you’ll actually use, whether online or in-person.

If you’re just starting—or even just curious—I’d love for you to check it out. I’m sharing an eBook for free this week, and you can grab it here: abeducation.online

Also, What’s one thing about Brazil that you’d love to experience or learn more about??
