A lot of people have been emailing me about The Professional Podcasting course asking when they can enroll. The latest on that is in the audio.

I want to say thank you to the dozens of people who emailed me with well-wishes for this new adventure in our life. It’s cool to feel connected to so many people through social media. In addition, I’ve had several people from Buenos Aires who listen to my podcasts who emailed me to meet up. That is a pretty amazing phenomenon to me.

I’ve had a number of people express interest as to why we chose to move abroad and specifically to Buenos Aires. So I wanted to post some information about our decision and how podcasting and internet business helped get us here.

Ever since Melanie and I got married we’ve wanted to live abroad. Employment, our previous rock band or school have always determined where we’ve lived until now (Salt Lake City followed by Manhattan).

When Melanie finished grad school last Spring, the possibilities were wide open to us. We had nothing tying us to NYC (other than friends and a bit of family of course). Even though we love NYC, now is the ideal time to live abroad since we still don’t have kids.

The main reason I got into internet business (and then more specifically podcasting) is because I can do it from anywhere. As long as I have an internet connection, I can create and publish online content. I can can connect with my community and work with my students/clients. This kind of freedom is a key element for me to have to feel fulfilled in life.

I always encourage people to decide what they need for fulfillment and to pursue it. One of my life pursuits is to provide information and encouragement to help others achieve their life vision.

In the spirit of freedom of location, we started looking for a place to live abroad. Our first choice was Paris since I have lived their before and Melanie wants to learn French. Unfortunately the current conversion rates for the euro put a damper on that. We wanted to live in a country where the US dollar would go a long ways allowing us to really enjoy the experience there.

Reading the Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss planted the bug in my ear about Buenos Aires, Argentina. We started our research and quickly realized why Tim likes it so much. In the end we chose Buenos Aires for several reasons.

1. We have a brother-in-law from Buenos Aires whose parents still live here.
2. We have a few Spanish speakers in our extended families now and thought it would be useful to learn the language.
3. Argentina is just a great country with lots of interesting things: plains, mountain, a city much like Paris, rain forests, huge waterfalls, etc.
4. Buenos Aires fits the urban lifestyle that we prefer right now.
5. The USD goes a long way here. Last weekend I had the best steak I’ve ever had for $8 USD. The subway is 30 cents USD per ride! Granted, this kind of currency leveraging requires that you have a means of making money in US dollars or something of equal or greater value. Internet business and my podcasts allow for that.
6. It has only snowed here once in the last 90 years.

We’ll see where things take us next. We plan to be here for the next several months, then I will be back in the U.S. for the New Media Expo in August (gotta see all my podcast buddies ;).

The move here tool a lot more time and energy that expected, but it has been an incredible experience so far. You can expect more content from me on a regular basis now that we are settled. Stay tuned for more soon.

Have you lived abroad? Where did you live? Where should Melanie and I live next?

I plan on continuing my podcasts, blogs, courses, etc. while living down there. I also plan to be back in the U.S. for the New Media Expo.

I’ll post more of an update on this and get back in action on my content creation early next week after we arrive. The preparations have consumed me much more than I expected.

Talk to you soon.

Probably the worst part is that my email has been bouncing that entire time. The email is still not back in action, but in the meantime you can reach me at jasonvano AT gmail DOT com if you need. My usual email should be back up soon.

Incidentally, I’m already in the process of moving this site to another host. I can no longer continue using or recommending the current host, Globat, even though I have had several years of good service from them. Every host will give you some headaches now and again, but this was just too much. It’s too bad for them since I bring numerous new customers to them every month.

The timing for moving to a new host is good since I plan to revamp the look and feel of my site very soon anyway. Stay tuned for a new host and design.

Here are the three questions Paul posed to us.

1. What were the highlights in podcasting for 2007?
2. What challenges do podcasters and online content creators face in 2008?
3. What opportunities are there in 2008? What are you looking forward to in 2008?

Let’s see your inner pundit. Post your answers in the comments. Give us the good, the bad and the ugly as you see it!

I’m running for a position on the eleven-member advisory board. I posted my platform last week. You can view all nominees here.

UPDATE: I’m not sure why I’m not listed on their site as a nominee, but I am in the list when you vote. I’ve contacted them to fix that.

I’m looking for people who know how to do most or all of the following (or can learn very quickly).
