I’m Moving To The San Francisco Bay Area!
3 Feb 2010Quick post to let you know I’ve decided to move from Buenos Aires back to the bay area (where I grew up). I’ll be moving in a few days. I was planning to keep traveling for a while but a great opportunity came up to work on a new startup. While I was back in [...]
