So it seems TechCrunch is no longer Brazil-bound as the visa for the reporter Sarah Lacy wasn’t ready in time and she had what others are calling a fit on TC about the ordeal. From personal experience, I’d agree with others in saying that number 1 is to get the visa in order (and of course have the funds to buy the plane ticket, etc). I’ve lost quite a lot, for my pocket at least, personally on poor planning last year when I attempted a move to Colombia.
Here’s two small excerpts from her article…
“Brazil was the one place that no one in the Valley was pushing me to visit. In fact, it was the one place my husband had asked me not to visit, having heard many reports of kidnapping and violence.”
…
“I’m not on getting on that plane today though. Entrepreneurs who’d hoped to be written up on TechCrunch: Blame your government.”
