About
Two people, ~50 countries,
one shared obsession.
We're Tiago and Jack — a Brazilian-Scottish couple based in Buenos Aires, and the people behind Another Excuse to Travel. For over 8 years we've been writing about hotels, flights, lounges, and the art of travelling well without overpaying for it.
Our story
The blog started as a way to document our trips. Then people started asking us to plan theirs.
Jack is from Scotland and has been travelling seriously since his days living in Portugal and Spain before making the move to Argentina — a country he first visited in 2019 and never quite left. He writes most of what you read here, and is the one obsessing over flight routing, transfer times, and loyalty programme structures at 11pm.
Tiago is from Brazil, and has lived across Brazil, Portugal, Spain, and now Argentina. His background is in hospitality and hotel technology — which means he understands how hotels actually work, what loyalty status is really worth, and what to look for (and avoid) when booking a stay. He's the one behind the food recommendations, the photography, and knowing which hidden gem is actually worth the detour.
Together, we've spent the last 5+ years splitting our time between Buenos Aires and wherever the next trip takes us — building up a level of regional knowledge, industry contacts, and travel instincts that's hard to find anywhere else.
Meet us
The writer, the planner, the one who finds a better flight route than the one you already booked. Jack brings the logistical obsession — points, miles, connections, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
The hospitality insider and cultural compass. Tiago's background in hotels and travel tech means he knows the industry from the inside — and knows exactly what makes a trip feel truly personal rather than just well-booked.
