Freelance International Consultant

I work from apartment 204 in the Raj Mahal building, which is on Devi Marg in the Bani Park area of Jaipur. It’s a nice enough spot, and I’ve been here for a good while. My work involves consulting on international matters, which basically means I spend a lot of time on the phone or writing emails to people in different time zones. It can be a bit strange working from a residential apartment while talking to people all over the world, but it works for me. Jaipur is a beautiful city to live in, even if the summers get incredibly hot. I don't have a big fancy office downtown with a logo on the door. It’s just me and my computer here in Bani Park. I help people and businesses figure out how to deal with things across borders, which can be a real headache if you haven't done it before. I’ve picked up a lot of knowledge over the years by just doing the work and seeing what happens. My day usually starts early or ends very late depending on who I need to talk to. I don't have a team of assistants, so I handle all the paperwork and research myself. It keeps me busy and I like the variety of the things I get to work on. It’s just simple, direct consulting without any of the corporate fluff. Sometimes I have to explain things three times, but that's just part of how global business goes.
