Hello.
I just landed a freelance design gig for an arts/music festival in Austria. I currently reside in NYC and I have never done work outside of the U.S. before. I have a few questions that perhaps maybe one of you can help me answer:
• How does one go about figuring out how to charge for this type of job?
•Is there any kind of online resource I can refer?
• If any of you out there have done work outside of your native country, what kind of advice can you offer?
• Anything I should avoid and be on the look-out for?Thanks for your help. You may direct any responses to hevan[at]soulblend.com

• How does one go about figuring out how to charge for this type of job?
- charge what you normally would charge, in your own currency.
•Is there any kind of online resource I can refer?
- for what, exactly?• If any of you out there have done work outside of your native country, what kind of advice can you offer?
- be stoked!! it is the best. i do it all the time, probably the majority of my business. learn how to negotiate multiple timezones though.• Anything I should avoid and be on the look-out for?
- more than likely, a refreshing approach to, and hightened value of design in general.

Oh him? We don't talk about that around here anymore. I guess he tripped and fell into some hot tub with 4 Swedish co-eds. They force-fed him loads of champagne of coke and...well, thats how it goes over there.
