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.
Yes, I do. And although she wouldn't need to be willing to country hop, she would have to be passionate about travel and different cultures.

A couple years ago, I had a regular feminist commentator who would often disagree with me respectfully. Although it didn't happen immediately, she slowly, over the course of months, influenced me to start considering other perspectives. Unfortunately, a lot of the reader influence happens because of the bad apples. For instance, if I try to teach a concept in a certain way and some guys with that problem are able to rationalize their way out of the advice, then it forces me to sit down and re-think how I'm explaining concepts. I enjoy good criticism (emphasis on "good") and my work has been criticized a bit over the years that has helped me shore it up and make it stronger. But I can't think of one single reader comment or email that changed everything for me. Most of the influence I've gotten from readers has been a slow, long-term progression.

I think they're growing. More and more companies and corporations are offering opportunities to work remotely. I also think that the information age promotes more creative freelance type work. There will always be those jobs that always require you to show up, but I think things are going to be more flexible in the near future. It's likely that in 10 years, this lifestyle won't be uncommon at all anymore.

It's penetrating further and further. I think it's inevitable, the social and economic changes happening, as well as the philosophies of the younger generations are converging on this type of lifestyle. It's kind of our version of the "free love" revolution I suppose. They are hard ideas to grapple with, but change always is. I think a decade from now people's attitudes towards this type of lifestyle will be quite different it will be considered a lot more mainstream.

At the moment I don't really have any mentors, although I've had a few at various times in the past. These days, I'm more of looking at what the super-famous bloggers are doing (Tim Ferriss, Leo Babauta, etc.) and try to model or draw some sort of inspiration from them, since reaching that level seems to be the next step.

Not sure what you mean. I have my own products and books that I sell through my blog. The blog itself makes very little money since I do little to no advertising. But yes, I have supported myself for about four years now.
