Douglas B. Customer Feedback

Filed In: Carlos Melia, Customer Feedback

Douglas B. Customer Feedback | Canada | Carlos: Thank you again … I haven’t told you but for many years I worked as a Tour Director for one of the largest travel agencies in Canada. It specialized in travel for medical doctors and other professional groups. It was an amazing company and I very much enjoyed working with them. (It was part-time only because I had my career as a social worker also.) I must say that as good as that company is … I am thoroughly impressed by you and your service. You are even better than the agency I worked with. Thanks again. Douglas

Can Foreigners get married in Argentina, Gay or Straight ?

Sep 07 2010
Filed In: Argentina, Carlos Melia, News, Press

Can foreigners get married in Argentina, Gay or Straight.? • This question has been in the air, and in the thoughts of gay press, tour operators, hotel chains and airlines worldwide since the Same Sex Marriage law was passed in Argentina, last July 2010, becoming the second country in America and first in Latin America to grant this rights to same sex couples. ( Law 26.618, Matrimonio Civil )

. The answer is IT DEPENDS.!!!

ZONA Rosa Magazine features Carlos Melia | New York City, United States | ZONA Rosa Magazine is the first gay magazine in the United States or Canada fully devoted to Gay Latinos. On their issue # 02 they have featured Argentina as the main topic, therefore I was chosen to do the Cover + Centerfold of the magazine and I was also named < Hombre Ñ >.

Since last July I was appointed Travel contributor of the magazine, and on this issue you can read my four pages article about gay travel to Buenos Aires called < Buenos Aires, Chronicles of a Gay Traveler >. Hope you enjoy it. You can follow ZONA Rosa Magazine online at the link below. ( this magazine prints 10 thousand copies every two month).
