Every blog starts off with an awkward emptiness post about the blog being launched, here’s mine.
After 5 years of a coming soon page and nine revisions of this website never going live due to the death of inspiration, I have given up the dream of a design being perfect and going with the last design, which was created well over three years ago. Sometime’s life just feels that busy. What a coincidental segue…
What pushes me to ensure I have a blog running right now is that I have decided to turn my life upside down. December 30th I gave notice in my apartment building, January 6th I gave notice at my job. I’m young and successful but missing direction internally and so have picked up, moving to Argentina and Freelancing from abroad. Something I’ve dreamt of for years, and feel confident that now’s a time when I can make the dream happen, if only for a few months.
My initial plan is for 3 months, and we will see how I feel nearer then. Alas, let’s not discuss too much, we have weeks before anything like that is needed.
Chris,
First of all there is a problem with your comment form that Name, Mail, and Website input fields don’t display entered text correctly, the bottom half of text is hidden. I see the issue in Firefox on WinXP on MacBook.
Regarding your trip, you should use this blog to document your trip as I’m sure the experience you will be going through will be very valuable or useful to other freelancers who share the same dream as yours. I’m sure I would like to learn about the challenges and opportunities you face there and it doesn’t matter if you fail and return or succeed and stay there, either case is exciting and interesting for me. So document your trip, shoot photos to go with your posts and add a RSS to help us keep updated on your situation.
It was great seeing you today and I wish you the best and hope we see you once again before you leave.

Great posts. Like Saeid, I look forward to your updates while abroad!
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on the Buenos Aires expat blog. If you are as friendly and helpful to your clients as you are to a complete stranger on an expat forum, I think you’ll succeed no matter which corner of the world you find yourself.
Looking forward to meeting you and catching up down in Argentina.
Take care,
Brad
