Comments on: Should Americans Consider Moving to Peru? Part II http://americaninlima.com/2008/10/14/should-americans-consider-moving-to-peru-part-ii/ slices of my life in Peru Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:54:41 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Barry from Oklahoma http://americaninlima.com/2008/10/14/should-americans-consider-moving-to-peru-part-ii/comment-page-1/#comment-2203 Barry from Oklahoma Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:11:13 +0000 http://americaninlima.com/?p=622#comment-2203 We are actually doing it the Peruvian way--family. We opened a joing bank account with my mother in law and send the money to her, she converts it to soles at a "friends" place where she can get a better exchange rate, then she deposits it in the account. It's a desposit only account for now to avoid temptation of yanking the money out for some other use. We are actually doing it the Peruvian way–family.

We transfer money to Peru at times, but it must be taken out of an ATM. Are you directly transferring into a bank account? If so, what bank are you using for this savings account? We are returning to Peru in July 2010, so maybe I can do a little more research at this time. Hi Barry,

Due to the economy and other reasons we are considering moving down to Lima where her family still lives. Problem is, I speak very little english. I am a Photographer / sales manager by trades and want to know what kind of employement is available down there or is it profitable to bring my photography business there and open up. I am visiting there for the first time in February when I get vacation time from the sports team I shoot for. Any insight would be appreciated!!!

We are saving up to build a house. We plan to buy some land and build a modest 2 story and split the lower story into one area for a business and one apartment, then rent them both out.

We don't know when we'll do it, but having noted the falling value of the dollar, we decided that is was time to start preparations. We'll probably move to Lima which is where most of my wife's family lives. My wife and I have opened an account in Peru and are transferring money their regularly in preparation for moving there.

I took a bunch of photos there last year but didn't post them. Maybe I'll do so this summer. La Punta has intriguing architecture. I took a bunch of photos there last year but didn’t post them.
