Ande Wanderer is a writer, editor and photographer based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She has produced features and news article packages that have appeared in publications around the globe.
Freelance Editorial
She began her career as a freelance writer and photographer while studying in Bangalore, India (before the rename) during her sophomore year of college.
Her first journo job out of college was with the India Abroad News Service (IANS) where her work was translated into Hindi, Marathi, Malayalam, Tamil, Gujarati, and other languages for an ultimate readership of hundreds of millions.
Her articles and photos have appeared in a diverse array of publications such as The Seattle Times, Skin Art, The Times of India, The Boulder Weekly, The Daily Nation, Time Out Amsterdam, El Semanario, The Tico Times, High Times, The Buenos Aires Herald, The Economic Times among many others that have succumbed to the death of print.
You can see some of the news and features exhumed from old archives on the News and Features page.
In addition to reporting, she’s had three columns: ‘Thought for Food,’ a vegetarian restaurant review column for India in New York; ‘Northside Views,’ a Denver man-on-the-street column for the North Denver Tribune; and ‘The Vagabond,’ a travel column in Go-Go Magazine.
She graduated from the Friends World Program of Long Island University (now Global College) with a degree in journalism and pursued further studies, including a year-long documentary theory course, in Buenos Aires.
She speaks fluent Spanish.
She authored the Argentina section of the expat guidebook, Getting Out: Your Guide to Leaving America.
Web Publishing
Amidst the print media apocalypse she turned her focus web publishing, founding what is today one of Argentina’s top travel websites, Wander-Argentina.
A secondary website, Wander-Argentina.org is a public-spirited site designed to highlight volunteer, work and learning opportunities in Argentina.
Individual Consulting
After two decades abroad, she can leverage her Argentine expertise, fluency in Spanish (and lunfardo!), first-hand experience and an extensive local network to offer insights for those seeking logistical information for relocation to Argentina.
The most effective work-life balance hack is moving abroad. International relocation was once a far-out idea for some. But now it’s not just a lifestyle choice but a necessary economic and sanity-saving life strategy.
Life abroad can offer way less overhead in terms of cost of living, more free time, and new adventures around every corner.
She offers individual consulting and can serve as a local cicerone/translator/photography guide/fixer for journalists.
