Hey Edgar, being from Costa Rica we hear those stories and it's insightful (yet heart-breaking) to hear it firsthand from someone in Venezuela.

I live in Taiwan now which is in somes sense miles ahead from Costa Rica, and I left partially because of it.

I have two questions for you, if you mind:

  1. Is there a good, reliable way to send money to Venezuela? I have heard people using Moneygram a few years back but that may no longer be the case. I may have a small gig for you :) let me know what is the best way to reach you.

  2. If you were to switch roles with a developer in another country in a good situation, read this post, and wished to help, what would you do?

Thanks for you words! πŸ˜„

1- I currently use LocalBitcoins, because it doesn't lose it's value as PayPal or any app (People buy money from apps for 15% less) and you can reach me to Edgar[at]codedgar.com.ve or at @codedgar in Telegram

2- If I was someone from outside and I was making what a person outside was making, I would probably give that person 100$ and try to help him get a good job.

If I emigrate to another country I'm pretty sure that I will create a community of Venezuelan creatives to find better jobs 😁
