Agency life
If you are reading this, you probably already know that our Headquarters are in Argentina, have worked with us, and gotten to know some of our team members, but how much do you know about Argentina?
With globalization becoming more prominent every day, people from around the world have the unique chance of working with each other more freely. Generally though, we know very little about the different places our associates come from. That’s why we thought it would be a good idea to share with you a little bit about our home.
5 Things That Make Argentina Unique.
When people around the world think about Argentina, the first thing that tends to come to mind is soccer, with Maradona and Messi popping up. But did you know soccer is not Argentina’s national sport? That’s right, the national sport is pato. Pato is a game played on horseback that combines elements from polo and basketball. Below are a couple more interesting things about the country that you might not know.
- Spanning 1.056.642 square miles, Argentina is the 2nd largest country in Latin America and 8th worldwide.
- Always innovative and creative, Argentinian inventors have brought great additions to everyday life, such as the ballpoint pen and our delicious Dulce de Leche.
- Our Capital, Buenos Aires, is the 3rd city in the world with the most bookshops per capita, averaging 22 book stores every 100.000 people.
- Iguazu Falls, on the border with Brazil, is one of the Seven Wonders of the world. Iguazu Falls spans both sides of the border, making it the largest waterfall system in the world.
- Argentina has its own dinosaur, the Argentinosaurus. Its fossil remains were found in the Neuquén Province, and studies calculate its size to be about 30 meters in length and 15 meters high.
3 Things We Have in Common
However, not everything is different. Some things are global experiences and Argentinians like to stay connected with the world in many different ways:
- Argentina is the country with the highest fluency in English in Latin America. School programs countrywide emphasize its study.
- With 50% of the capital’s population being born outside the country by 1920, Argentina is an immigrant built country, still upholding traditions and sharing bonds with the European countries of our forefathers.
- Finally, the love for cheese we share is also worth noting. While melted cheese is gaining its way into our hearts, it still has a strong opponent on our cheese plates, an essential for a good Picada.
Why Work With Argentina?
Now that we know each other better, let’s get back to work. Here are some good reasons to consider engaging Argentinian Human Talent:
