Hi! I know I don't live in South Florida but I'm leaning towards moving to the Miami area over the next year so I thought it made sense to reach out in advance!

Sr. Mktg Mgr at Cisco's Collaboration Software Group (WebEx), Looking to stay in B2B software/tech/internet.

Lived in Venezuela. Done some small business here and there with South America and Mexico mostly in the past. My Spanish is a little rusty but I've been working on gaining fluency lately. Been going to Colombia a lot lately for fun.

Hi:
I've been in SoFla for 9 years now.
Previously in St. Louis where I ran an international specialty-chemical manufacturing conglomerate which did quite a bit of business in LatAm. One of the manufacturing plants was in Venezuela, so I got to spend quite a bit of time there, but travelled extensively throughout the region visiting customers and creating business.
I'm always looking for new ventures and adventures and my latest project now is hopefully opening a small independent Porsche Shop. Anyone want to be my partner?

Hello there, I am another one who does not live in South Florida, but... I used to live in Miami for about 5 years. Mi ex-wife still lives there and even if I go crazy with the Florida traffic (and especially in Miami) I just can't help feeling something special about it.

By the way, my first language is Spanish and I am an Spanish-language Editor so it's always easy for me to translate from Eng to Spanish. I live now in Tuscaloosa, AL, and I am an Editor of a magazine for Hispanic, Spanish-speaking truckers.Yes, you are reading right. I deal with translating/editing and proofreading the monthly editions. You may see the website at www.transportistamag.com; but you an also check out a digital edition --just like the real thing-- in this website: www.transportistadigital.com

Please take a look and make comments, and be cruel if you want, I am a grown-up man!

Well, nice to meet you and hopefully we can follow conversations here and become friends. .

Hi fellow Floridians, I am glad to join the Group. I grew up in Buenos Aires and lived in Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City before moving to Miami nineteen years ago. Two of my children live New York, NY and Boulder, CO. The third is a wine specialist and is teaching and working in Miami. I have a small consulting firm focused on Latin America and I am considering joining a renowned financial firm as a financial advisor. I love fishing and love (but suck) playing tennis and golf.
