Thanks for the link. We can’t wait to visit Mendoza and Patagonia. Recently we had a great time in Pinamar.

I just discovered Internet Business Mastery on iTunes (enjoying very much!) and then learned you and your wife just moved to BA. Congrats to you both!

I married an Argentine and got married in Tandil (Tandil is 230 miles south of Buenos Aires) and went on a honeymoon to Patagonia ice glaciers and then Mendoza wine country – best time ever! I am from Colombia – but have lived most of my life in Southern California. We visit lots of family in Argentina a couple of times a year and dream of living there…soon…

Here is a Buenos Aires website that might be of interest to you – I hope to meet the couple and join their communal dinning tables on one of our visits. Their website has lots and lots of info on relocating and living in Argentina. I believe one of the guys is from Brooklyn too. http://www.saltshaker.net/services

I look forward to your new site on the subject! We’ll let you know next time we are there!

Salud! Tanya

This is great! First off, congrats on your move to Buenos Aires, I have always wanted to visit. Second, I am really loving the content on your site and the podcasts you guys put out. Its really teaching me a lot. Appreciate it very much and look forward to more from the two of you.

About relocation, I’ve lived in Europe and Mexico. It’s a great experience like you said, mainly because you get to understand other people, and you learn other languages. I want to visit Argentina, it’s a great place to live, great people and good eating.

Jay, I wish the very best over there. Cuídate mucho.

Brazil sounds great. Thanks for the tips. I’m sure I’ll step foot into Brazil when I visit Iguazu Falls. After knowing French and soon Spanish, Portuguese shouldn’t be too bad.

@Gael,

It sounds like you have a great internet lifestyle going for yourself. Once I know Spanish, Barcelona will be on my “must visit” list.

@Chris,

Thanks for the awesome blog recommendation. There definitely seems to be more and more people enjoying freedom of location these days.

@Xaviero,

Merida, Yucatan looks great. I think I would love the food there. I’m not a huge fan of heat and humidity, but maybe if I come at the right time of the year it would work fine.

@Andy,

You make a great point. With a bit of creativity, I can change things so that I make money in Euros. It’s always best to ask “how can I make this work.” We considered Columbia. It looks fantastic there.

@Steve,

New Zealand is on our radar. In fact, there is a good chance we will go there next. Besides, I have to take a Lord of the Rings helicopter tour ;). GEEK ALERT!

My wife and I are working on something for individuals who want to live and do internet business from abroad. We’ll let you know.

@Joe,

I dig the name of your blog, Pepes Chile. I’ve bookmarked it for ideas–both for travel and our blog. I would love to cross the Andes and visit Chile.

@Jason,

Definitely let me know if you make it down to Buenos Aires. Congrats on living mobile. I love BC. Having grown up in AK, I’ve driven the Alcan Hwy a few times through BC and the Yukon.

If you like outdoor culture and indie films, you should check out the Banff Mountain Film festival the first weekend in Nov. It may be a little bit of a drive, but well worth it.

@All,

Thanks for the fantastic suggestions and resources. Makes me feel like I could travel my whole life and never see all the places that I want to. Exciting!

Best of luck!

P.S. Love the stuff coming out of IBM

As I see Spain/Spanish seems to be of interest to the people here, here’s a link to a guest post I wrote about moving to Spain http://locationindependent.com/blog/2008/02/01/could-spain-be-your-next-location-independent-destination/

Congratulations on the big move. I lived across the Andes in Chile for two years as a missionary. I loved Chile. The people are great and once you get outside the smog of Santiago, the country is beautiful. Since you’re relatively close, you could visit pretty easily.

I like your idea of blogging about your experience there. I have a website about my stay and observations in Chile and it continues to provide me a revenue stream and opportunities to connect with people around the world. You can see “Pepe’s Chile” here:

Jay, if you make an ebook/video course on internet business abroad, with detailed descriptions & plans about choosing a location and making it work, I’d probably buy it. Thats my dream!

Congratulations on your move. I lived in Colombia and despite the whole history they had, it is a GREAT place to be, if not for living, at least for visiting. My comment would be more on the side of: if you want Paris… why not? conversion ration means that you are making dollars and converting into euros but… what is preventing you from making euros? why not re-create what you have but in Europe? Spain is also a great place to live, and if you learn spanish you will be half way through.

good to see you’re having a great time in Buenos Aires. There’s a great blog dedicated to this kind of living at http://locationindependent.com/blog/

I made a similar move few years ago – just the other way around.

I now live in Barcelona, Spain but my main office is based in Bangkok, Thailand. I go there once every 2 months (I’m running an online business, and 12 people working in Bangkok) and I have been for the last 2 years living in Spain, learning spanish, kitesurfing (I live in front of the beach :) and traveling around Europe.

My online business is actually related to lifestyle design, as it provides apartments and offices to be rented for a week, a month or a year anywhere in the world. which is great for me, as each time I travel, I always have a fully furnished apartment+ fully equipped office available for me :)

Since you are in Argentina, consider your next move to Brazil (South or Northeast).
South is closer and and the environment will be similar. You can even visit the country on weekends (make sure you have a proper visa).
If you plan to fly around, consider “The Brazil Pass”: a flat fee air ticket for non-Brazilians where you can visit up to nine sites. Here it is a site with more information http://www.brol.com

Good luck!

We will still record the podcast while I am here. Before I was in NYC and Sterling is in Utah. We talk over Skype and each record our own end of the conversation. Then we have it edited together. In the end it sounds like we are in the same room. This is called a “double ender.”

BTW, I’m so inspired by this blog/podcast. I’m currently in a whilrwind of reading about internet marketing. I feel like I’ve discovered the “missing link” to my future. THANKS Leslie

That’s an excellent idea. And in fact, my wife and I plan to do a whole site on living abroad for information workers. We will be starting a blog soon about our experience of moving and living here. I’ll announce it here.
