Desperately for a Tango in Buenos Aires blog that was linked to in this forum... I can't find it and it's driving me nuts!

The blog was about a middle aged woman from London that travelled to BA to learn Tango. I loved her way of writing, it was a bit of Tango and Milongas, spicy love affairs, and daily life such as roommates and public transport and a tight budget. It made me feel like I was there. It was written around 10 years ago, old-school with no photos or real names (but cool nicknames like "Colin Firth but sexier"). I also think it was on a simple platform like blogspot.

My phone got stolen, and along with it the link to this blog. I found it via a post here, it was a funny comment about the ridiculousness of Argentinian men professing their love to random tourist women on the streets. I trawled this forum looking for a comment, but of no avail. I googled but no avail, perhaps the blog isn't indexed... If anyone could point me there I'd be so grateful! I know it's very unlikely, but worth a shot.
 
This matches the storyline you describe, but I only know it as a book and not a blog. Not much of a plot, the fun is in the journey of small but funny and tragic Tango adventures.

It was frankly a hilarious read at times, reading quotes from and anecdotes of people I actually know in real life!

Thank you @TTanguero and Tangodistance, but that's not it. The blog was for free last week. But I'm happy about the book rec, it looks liek something I'll enjoy!

Was it on website that would show up on search results? If so use right keywords that you remember from the blog when you last read it. The way people game the google search algorithm, it might be buried 5 or 6 pages deep.

Also interesting reads, but it's not the one I'm looking for.

I don’t think there is a post that directly links to the blog you are looking for. I searched for all the posts before 2015 that mentions the word “blog” out of curiosity. My guess is that blog you looking for was not directly mentioned on the forum. You most likely found link to it through some other blog or website mentioned here.

I think that the word Blog wasn't mentioned, another word was hyperlinked. Something like "according to THIS it's enough to yell '
Hello beautiful, I love you!'" I'm obviously paraphrasing, I don't remember the exact wording.
