I know what you are talking about with respect to how things are done in LA. Drives me nuts at times. I spent a couple months in Cali awhile back and enjoyed it, especially tres cruses - for exercise. What about the security? Do you feel safe? Sometimes I debate with myself over going ex-pat but have no idea where to do it

Well, my content for my job is in Cali, but if I was going to live down here and do the Ex-Pat "thing", I would move to Quito, Ecuador. $1,400 will get you an investment VISA. I oculd always fly over to Cali every few months and soot photos for the websites.If the girls were as good looking as Calenas, I would be there in a heartbeat, but they aren't. I just generally like the city better and the way things are done there are better than you get in Cali. Not to mention they got Burger King there. LOL!

Do it in Cali.Start with a B&B and work up to an agency if you want,if it works.Jim C is looking for partners in his idea.They have the web site up and everything done already to support another operation.I just don't want to mess with the agency part.But maybe I should explore.Raise my prices and do a better job of directing people?Interview chicas?Dust off my casting couch??Vee can get you a veeesa baby?
When Travelor was here interviewing models my roomate Jack says I am buying a camera.

I just rent rooms to offset the expense of living in a great place.Its been fun so far and no big problems.
If you play it right you might even cover your expenses.I do sometimes,but not most of the time,but its looking up.
And I never worked it very hard.There is a huge difference between long term and short term rates, if you are in the possistion of renting long term ita an option.

Okie, Jamie has given you good advice. Pete has given you good advice. I and others have thrown some good suggestions your way.  You understand the birds and the bees.  This is not rocket science.  You don’t need a coach – just get back in the game whether it is Cali, Medellin, Panama or China. Go get em! There is low hanging fruit - no more analysis paralysis. Forget trying to speed learn Spanish - hit some cities and date some women and throw caution to the wind. You will be happier in the long run. I wish you well
