Comment on Ask HN: Living overseas with a profitable online businessparent

Comments

How did you like living in Peru? I've thought about getting an apartment there for a short while and work on developing my business.

I can recommend Ecuador. I am currently living on the beach in luxurious apartment with see view, swimming pool, safe gated community , 2Mbit internet connection for $900. All done through AirBnb

Peru is beautiful, but I'm not a fan of Lima's weather (think seattle). So for travel+fun I'd recommend just landing in Lima and going elsewhere in the mountains. If I did not have to recruit engineers, meet entrepreneurs or do biz dev, I'd def. stay in Cusco for a while.

The food and transportation is very affordable, and really really cheap if you don't go to the touristy restaurants and instead head to el mercado (marketplace). You can get a full meal with soup, drink and dessert for like US$.60-$1

Now, if you want to meet fellow hackers/entrepreneurs and recruit incredible talent, check out http://limavalley.com the startup/tech community in Peru.

The domain name seems to be wrong or expired.

You are right (I know my comment is old) but just in case,here is the correct url http://lima-valley.com/
