A life changing conversation
I asked my great grandmother why she chose to come to Argentina. She told me there were two boats. One going to New York and another going to Uruguay. Her uncle advised her to go to Uruguay because she could get land. It was not true and she ended in Argentina. I concluded my ancestors simple chose the wrong boat and started to plan how to relocate the family to USA. I took me seven years but here I am.
I am the first of my generation.
An entrepreneurial investment
After I became an architect in 1990 I received an unexpected donation of $20k from my grandfather.
Against traditional advise I decided to invest not in property but in two computers and a plotter. I opened my own architectural office in Buenos Aires. I self taught myself AutoCAD with a manual in English and another in Spanish.
My CAD service firm was very successful because nothing like it existed in Buenos Aires during the early nineties.
