FUNNY QUESTIONS

In how many languages you would know to order a beer? 18

Hamburger or Pizza? Burger

Do you have a favourite team? Football team? If yes, FC Barcelona!!!!

A musical group you’d like see live? Chemical Brothers

Favourite movie? And the worst one? I don't watch movies. I read.

The most embarrassing song of your iPod? Nothing really. I listen to everything! But I have a playlist called "Period Mix" and everyone goes like, "really, you have music when you have a period?!" Yes, I do.

QUESTIONS

Have you ever been in a place that has revealed completely different from what you had imagined? If so, how? Bolivia. I thought it was a totally backward country but I had the best time going out there at night! The nighlife in Bolivia is definitely one for the books!

Have you ever had bad experiences during one of your journey? Nope. Not really! Not that I know of. I'm very poor in planning and I guess this is one of the pitfalls of my travel life. I always end up not following my plans!

Do you also have any funny story that you still remember? No, I don't have any.

What is the worst place you’ve been? Why? Well, nothing is worst but if there's one place I wouldn't go back to, it's Sri Lanka. The mode of transportation in the country is not very organised, uncomfortable and expensive!

What is your favourite place? Brasil

Do you have a bucket list? Which is it? I don't have any! I just go wherever I want to go but my selection is based on what I want to do (i.e. learn to cook or learn a language)

Could you imagine your life without travelling? No. Not at all.

And what do you do when you, for a reason or another, are not on a trip? I am always traveling so I don't think this applies to me. I don't think I know how to do other things but travel! 

Where and when did you start to share your experience? Could you give us a link? Can you please articulate? I don't understand this.

What is the most common mistake between the bloggers? Jealousy is one of the occupational hazards in the blogosphere.

Why would you suggest to our readers to follow online your adventures? I wouldn't force you but if you try to see my content, I was told you will be hooked. ;)

What was your photo, article or post that had more success? I can't really say but are you asking about SM metrics? My Facebook page is kind of successful with interactions --> https://facebook.com/psimonmyway

And instead, what is your favourite? The one you’ll not easily forget? I have so many!!! I think you can see most of the best reads here: https://psimonmyway.com/favourites. Browse it and let me know what you like but all of these are my favourites they had to have a separate category!

How do you usually move? Airplane, train, boat, car? Airplane.

What would you suggest to all the aspiring travelers? JUST GO. It's so easy to say but everything will happen and unfold if you choose to GO.

What did the travel teach you? And what is the most important lesson that you can share? It has taken me so many years to be comfortable in my own skin and travel allowed me to feel that. When we are back home, there are always a lot of expectations - I was once obsessed with the career idea the people around me would praise me for but then I realised that I will only be successful if I love the things that I am doing.

What was the cheapest journey that you’ve made? And the most expensive one? I was in South America for 3.5 years and spent less than $3,000 per year. I haven't had any expensive escapades yet but I guess living in Tel Aviv counts!

Is there any person that you’ve met during your travels, to be so interesting that you still take with you? I am still in touch with everyone I met on the road, most especially the people I met when I was young and backpacking South America. The possibility of finding long-term friends whilst traveling still amazes me!

Where would you like spend your life as retired? In a beautiful island in the Philippines.

If you win 10.000$, but you can’t spend them on travels, what would you do? I will buy a beach house in the Philippines. Right away!
