This study explores the migration of individuals from Turkey to Argentina, focusing on their motivations.
Argentina and Turkey, situated on separate continents with significant geographical distances, harbor distinctive
cultural identities, customs, traditions, histories, and languages, posing potential challenges for meaningful
interactions and cultural exchange between their populations. The research delves into the stories of 17 migrants
who have chosen to move to Argentina or stay long-term. Through an in-depth analysis of social media videos
created by these migrants, the study gains first-hand insights into their decision-making processes and the
factors influencing their choices. Buenos Aires is portrayed as an attractive destination due to its appealing
lifestyle, delicious and affordable gastronomy, well-organized city, rich entertainment scene, elegant European
architecture, and freedom of expression with the spoken Spanish language. However, the country’s economic
opportunities are perceived as limited, leading migrants to seek additional foreign income for a better quality of
life. The study reveals that spending around 600/1200 USD per month on essential expenses, such as housing,
food, transportation, and dining out, can result in a significantly improved lifestyle for single/couple migrants
from Turkey. Successful migration transition occurs when foreign income is received, language barriers are
overcome, and a robust social network is established.
