Oh hell EscapeArtist is one of my nightmares as well. That was our last step with my former partners. We had Panama.escapeartist.com $70K lesson learned. We had that page rocking with content but zero support from them.
It looks like you best option is finding a way to earn online. Set up Paypal business before you head out and learn how to use Bitcoin.
I was banking nicely with BTC a couple years ago through LBC. But competition and the drop in price kinda put some hurt on the market. I still make a little, but not enough.
You worked with Debbie? I still keep in touch with her. We considered doing a new site, but she went on her own. I was the GE of EFAM for all of about a month too, before tshtf. The Chile portal was getting some really good traction too, and I was just starting to get the ambassadors working more cohesively, in spite of poor support.
I tried to build a replacement, but my tech skills aren't good enough to keep up. It's there and has potential, but I never found the right developer to work with. You can check it out at http://expatembassy.com/. I had it looking a little nicer, but a young guy wanted to help. I figured, no harm. So it sits waiting to actually do something. :)
Nah, Debbie was the poor soul who they swindled into buying it after we left. Building and maintaining websites is a difficult task. I do my own now but really dislike building for others because people really do not know what they want.
We literally built our business on Google Plus, Facebook and Twitter. The websites were not built until about two years in. Steemit and other blogging platforms can really change the game!
