Working overseas

[deerplanter]

What kind of work would you do in Argentina? A lot of activity is on hold until the elections this year.

Dow Chemical was going to build a new site there but I think it got pushed or at least it has gotten quite about it. I would be dealing with the rotating equipment.

I’ve worked overseas but it was offshore so the only interaction I had with people were in airports. Angola was bad but Trinidad was nice

I’m in Argentina as I type this although I’m at the airport headed home. I travel here a few times a year and bounce between BA and Neuquen. If I can answer any questions for you then feel free to reach out.

Thanks bud if it becomes more concrete I’ll send a PM on major questions me and the guys can come up with.

This right here. I'm sure your employer will see to this before sending you abroad. I've been working overseas for five years and finally getting back state side. I've worked on all the coasts of Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Mediterranean. Seen alot of beautiful places. Also saw alot of crap holes like Africa which I could care less to ever see again. Keep up with current events which could be hard to do in some countrys. I was in Turkey a few years back when they had an attempted government take over and never realized it. Also had just left the airport 30 minutes after a suicide bomber/bombers blew themselves up in it. Quite frankly Im glad to back I'm my backyard in the Gulf of Mexico.

Solid advice, I got my glasses fixed today so I plan on google news’ing those two and the third if this happens. I told him if it’s Venezuela forget it!!! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Argentina is very nice. Would not hesitate at all at that opportunity. As others said, AFRICA is a HUGE continent. Just like anywhere that HUGE there are bad areas and some areas just down right incredible. Enjoy the opportunity and get out to meet the locals...…..it will change your life!

If you go to Peru check out Mira Flores very nice and safe spot to walk around. Unfortunately when I go over I’m usually working in Callao which is no bueno for gringos.

Years ago I use to travel all over Central & South America with the Gubment. I would always go to the doc and get whatever shots they recommended. I also would go by the AAA office and get an international drivers license. It was nothing more that a little pamphlet that was sort of official looking with a list of the countries that had the reciprical agreements. But, that little pamphlet got me out of more trouble when I was pulled over and even had a fender bender. The local yocals didn't know what to think of it, but it seemed work more times than not. Back then most of them only had a baton and a whistle anyway.
