Quote from oldtime:
I know, but it was convenient, now I've gotten used to it and am to old to move, but I would not reccomend it (unless you were born here.)
Quote from Swan Noir:
We want to spend some time in Europe and if we connect with someone who has comfortable lodging for us I would teach you what I have learned. A separate apartment on or near your property would obviously be ideal but we would consider a room in a larger house that had real privacy and a private bath.
We wold require two reasonably powered computers -- my wife trades with me, at least four screens total and a REAL broadband connection. Please understand that before we agree we would hire -- at our expense -- an IT guy in your city to check out the connection. I cannot make money on connections that many people consider adequate. Maybe they can but I can not.
Quote from NetTecture:
It is an interesting proposition which I would take if I could meet the requirements on the other side, which sadly I can not.
Sorry, getting robbed etc - this is a joke. You can exchange ID papers beforehand. There are websites people meet for logding in other cities - there is a whole subculture of that.
it is a decent chance to see part of europe or a place in the world while trading, validating concepts and... well.... having fun without spending tons of money.
Quote from Pekelo:
I say forget about traders, and try:

The timeframe is much less than months, but do you really want to stay in Kiev for 3 months? Also, you are going to trade, so for sightseeing there will be much less time. You are trying to mix work and pleasure...
Also, if your host learns most of your tricks in 1-2 weeks, they might not want to put up with you for another 2 months. Something to consider...
Oh yes, what about timezones? Are you going to change your trading vehicles according to your location, or just put up with strange hours???
