My name is Palmita Mendez, I was born in Mexico but I’m currently residing in Argentina. I first came to Buenos Aires to work in 2004 and the beauty of Buenos Aires city and the warmth of my many Argentine friends immediately captured my heart. Buenos Aires is a fascinating city of amazing diversity and culture, and so I decided to make of Buenos Aires my home.
I studied gastronomy at the Instituto Argentino de Gastronomia, History of Art at the Fine Arts Museum, languages at the Goethe Institute and Alliance Francaise.
I already had so many reasons to love Buenos Aires and Argentina, but in September 2009, I found my real passion in life, and that passion fast became the most important reasons I now reside in Argentina: Polo.
In September 2009, I accepted an invitation from a close friend to watch a Polo game and to take a polo lesson. I had no horseback riding skills and so I thought the experience was just another to ‘chalk-up’ and add to my cultural knowledge of Argentina, but to my surprise, I loved it!
Just one polo lesson with the right polo people was enough for me to fall in love with polo.
