I have also been considering this very same dilemma. Working in IT in London, my wife is Brazilian, and we would like to move to South America soon. I must admit I am a little unsure of how I will adapt in a new country, even with all the research and preperation I can do in advance, the only true way of knowing if it will all work out, is simply to try.
I would hate to still be stuck on the tube (London Underground for those readers out of the UK) 10 years from now, face stuck in someone's armpit on the crush-hour ride home regretting never having given it a go.
I would like to ask other slashdotters that already successfully telecommute or freelance remotely - what sources do you use for finding new clients/work? Do you rely on 100% overseas client work, or also do some local client work as well?
