Hello from Buenos Aires!
Saturday, January 23, 2010 6:54Thought I’d drop a quick post now that I’m here in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It’s nice and hot here, and I’m loving it! If anyone is from around here, hit me up, I have lots of time to hang around and talk shit.
I’m still jet-lagged and operating on opposite hours to everyone else. But rather than try to fight it and adjust like normal people. I’ve decided I will do whatever feels right at the moment. So… If I’m tired, I’ll go to sleep. If I’m hungry, I’ll eat. And in between I’ll try to get some work done!
The past few days I’ve been busy looking for places to stay. I had the option of getting an apartment to myself, or get a room in a shared house. I decided to get a room in a shared house. The main reason being that I’d rather be around people, otherwise I might get into the bad habit of overworking and never leaving the house(like when I was in Thailand). On top of all that, it’s cheaper as well.
FYI. An apartment to rent in Buenos Aires will set you back about $500-1000US a month for a decent apartment. Ballers can go higher of course. A room in a place with human beings will set you back generally around $300-450US a month. There is definitely no shortage of decent places to live in BA, there are TONS of places available here.
I ended up choosing the second place I saw. I’ll be living in a large apartment with 4 girls, in the Monserrat area, it would have been nice to at least have another male in the place, but whatever…
I move in on the 1st of Feb, and then I can start to work properly again and hopefully find a gym in the area.
My plans are to stay in BA for maybe 2-3 months, until it starts to get closer to Winter, and then start heading north towards Colombia. My affiliate income has pretty much dried up at the moment, thanks to Facebook disabling my account, so I need to get some things rolling to give me a reason to head to ASE in New York later in the year.
So I’m glad I have my e-commerce business running which is the one stable income source I’ll always have. My affiliate work continues to continually get shutdown by external shit which is really annoying. I’m thinking I might start working with some CPS networks like ShareASale and look for some more stable projects.

Man, I love BsAs. I spent seven months there last year, and I’m already eager to go back. I’m suffering from a major steak deficiency. And the people are great.
Anyway, just wanted to stop by and say I’m digging your blog. Lots of good information, and you write well. (And, It doesn’t hurt that you’ve got a good story to tell.) I can’t wait for you next installment about building your business. This is so much smarter than the usual affiliate “Make Mo Money” blog.
Keep it coming.
