Male, 28
I am a professional blogger, internet entrepreneur, and world traveler. I've been to over 40 countries and am currently working on my second book about long-term travel and how to work/live abroad. On my blog I write about self development and creating a unique lifestyle for yourself. Feel free to ask me anything.
About myself, I like to think no, there's nothing that's off limits. But there are things about family members and people who have been close to me that I wouldn't reveal (without their permission, of course).

Yes, absolutely. It forces you into new and uncomfortable situations, often handicaps your communication (creating a so-called "altitude effect") and of course, gets you talking and meeting new people. I think it's one of the most useful things you can do to improve your social skills and social confidence in general.

You mean the one that exceeded my expectations the most? I would say either China or Russia. I really did not expect to like China. I was going there to do the tourist stuff and because it was a cheaper connection back home to the States for the holidays. I ended up really, really liking it there and wanting to go back for an extended period of time. Another one is Russia. Before I even got there I had dropped a small fortune on visas, language lessons, and an apartment in the center of St. Petersburg. When I got there, my immediate thought was "What have I done?" Nothing worked, everything was dirty, everyone was rude, no one spoke English, the food was horrible, the weather was horrible. I thought I was in for a very long month. I ended up loving it and actually if I didn't have a girlfriend in Brazil I'd probably go back to Russia ASAP.

Cats. You don't have to pick up their poop and they have much funnier Youtube videos. And cuter too.

Has anyone ever caught you surveilling them, and what happened?
Well, it kind of depends on what the "else" is here, but I would focus on one... or starting a business that relates to the occupation you want to pursue. When you're starting out cold, starting a business requires an insane amount of time and work to get off the ground. If you were splitting that with something else, I don't know if you'd get anywhere.

For articles and blog posts I set deadlines for myself because it's important to post content consistently and keep readers regularly engaged. For larger projects like books or products, I don't set deadlines but rather progress goals, i.e., "I want to write 5,000 words this week," etc.

It depends on where you want to go and what you want to do. Most Spanish and French speaking countries it's fairly important. But if you're going to Thailand or Israel for example, then you don't really need to know anything. Knowing the local language absolutely helps your experience and the longer you stay there, the more advantageous it is. But if you're only going to pass through a place for a couple weeks, then it doesn't really matter.
