Then there is a question of where. I'm down in Panama and honestly I think that something like this would actually work here. Lower overhead to get started, nice quality of life and a lack of competition. Easy to import parts, low taxes and an affluent local user base.
I speak some Spanish too, so that'd be good!

I love the idea but don't know if I could do it...

@handsofqwerty It starts with packing a bag, getting a VISA, and driving down there... After that... just follow your feet! 8-)

He's an American national, no need for a Visa to get started in Panama.

@scottalanmiller I thought Visas were required for international travel? Is that only true for overseas type travel?

It just depends on where you are going. Most European countries have an agreement with the US so neither side require visas. I think China and Russia might require them, but I'm not positive.

Europe you can only work for 90 days and can't open a business without a visa.

No, almost nowhere requires a visa (not Visa, that's the credit card) for travel. Overseas or otherwise. Venezuela, China, Iran... they requires visas of course for Americans. Pretty much none of the developed world requires them until you plan to stay over 90 days and Panama doesn't need one until you plan to stay and work over six months (and if you violate it in Panama the fee is just $50, so no big deal.)
There is the concept of an automatic, paperless visa when you go somewhere. So you could say that you have a visa, but most travels are unaware that they even exist as no one mentions it and you never get anything and you never apply.

Lol, make it happen and I'll seriously consider it. Can we start a pool for people who want to help me get to Texas?

Who's going to manage Crazy AJ's? AJ might be good on the technical side, but I wouldn't be willing to make an investment without someone with some experience or at least a good plan documented out.
-
Absolutely - This is an awesome idea! Edit - let me add, that this is an awesome idea for A.J.
-
I like the sound of "Crazy AJ's". I imagine some nutting billboards along the highway, a la Pedro's South of the Border in South Carolina.

I've gotten used to it. I don't mind driving around PC now. I don't even notice the traffic anymore. Knowing when to go in and out of the city has made that a breeze too. We do it in 75-80 minutes.
